Pretty DUCK case but I am asking for a CU to confirm the two accounts to each other and see if there's another sockmaster. I'd be surprised if it was just these two.

I know IPs cannot be commented on. But I am listing it as the behavior is similar.

 * Various IPs have been hitting the Happy Tree Friends articles, esp. Happy Tree Friends (TV series), for months/years – this latest vandalism involving the broadcasting networks has been going on for months, but it would not surprise me if this is related to the longer-term vandalism at the Happy Tree Friends articles. This SPI may kick up an ant hill – we shall see.... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:35, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

BellaYesCaylieNo performed the same edit as blocked IP 168.212.100.64. They also performed some date vandalism (a typical behavior).

 * Previous LTA/CJ IP socks have geolocated to similar areas as these - see User:66.87.148.119 as compared to User:168.212.100.64. Any connection? Both masters have Happy Tree Friends related vandalism and obsession with children's shows as traits.  casualdejekyll  22:35, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, looks suspiciously familiar. In the associated SPI archive, I see the person moved from near Tampa (Special:Contributions/76.214.97.156) in October 2021 to near Seattle (Special:Contributions/2600:1700:82F0:5DB0:297E:673F:D11:80A8) in November 2021, so we have a match with the current case.

 * No surprisingly, BellaYesCaylieNo is ✅.    -- RoySmith (talk) 14:02, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I ran across incidentally, and went ahead and blocked and tagged. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 09:43, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * At this point, none of the IPs have edited in weeks, so nothing left to do here. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
