Actively evading block. Very self-explanatory, considering the edits to talk page and the MfD 4KidsFriend was involved in. Curbon7 (talk) 06:55, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Since this master seems highly persistent, I figured some housekeeping was in order. This was originally handled with as the master, but  is by far the oldest account, so I've moved the case there. The list above is everyone who has previously been blocked and tagged as part of this sock group, plus two accounts that were blocked without tags (now tagged).

"I love you" appears to be the master account. Otherwise maybe User:Muhammad Alfarezal. This IP has popped up in the last two days and is editing Draft:Pathé Distribution, which has otherwise been edited only by socks. Is this address swimming in the same pond?

These IP addresses are creating drafts on companies that have been merged into GlaxoSmithKline that have also been edited by blocked socks of this sock farm. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:59, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

 * The bottom three were already blocked per Sockpuppet investigations/I love you/Archive – I see no new activity on the range, so there's no reason to reblock. The first listed IP hasn't edited in quite some time. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 22:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Same "Aftermath"-section nonsense like previous socks, e.g. on St. Jude Medical. Also they created a draft redirect Draft:UTV Software Communications previously edited by – NJD-DE (talk) 23:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Added MuhammadAlfarezalBot to this based on edits on same page like previous IP socks (User:Sandbox), and obviously because of the username similarity. – NJD-DE (talk) 23:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

 * It's good to say what you did, i.e., blocked the IP for one month.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:02, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @Bbb23 Sorry, really should have. Especially since it would have been reasonable to do a range block as well. I looked at it and decided not to since 125.160.40.25/22 has had another user editing from it in the past month and IPs from the range wasn't in the archive. --Trialpears (talk) 00:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Same geolocation like previous socks. Same article (Noble Energy). Admits being a sock of I love you (Special:Diff/1065318954). – NJD-DE (talk) 23:22, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

 * 4KidsFriend2 by Bbb23. The IP has been inactive for over 24 hours, but it looks like 110.139.8.231 a month ago was also them. And the /23 is inactive for two years before that, so there's no obvious collateral damage in giving the range a month off, but I'm a bit hesitant to do that over 11 edits, while a shorter block wouldn't make sense due to the long resting periods between edits. So, no action on the range for now, but if it pops up again, can be given a month or two. Closing.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 01:30, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Same IP blocked twice previously as an ILY sock range. (See .) Immediately after one-month block, returns to edits about Disney topics and to weird sandbox edits (compare), in this case targeting a sandbox that I (the closing clerk on the last SPI) was the most recent editor on. -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 20:52, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

 * . This, this, their edits to User:Sandbox, their interest in Pathé films, and their interest in HBO is pretty conclusive. The IP's welcome of the sock and recreation of Draft:Predecessor to GlaxoSmithKline and Draft:UTV Software Communications is also pretty conclusive. The IP doesn't look to have been hopping when I check out to the /18, and it doesn't look like there'd be any collateral on the single IP (although they've only been static on it for 24 hours). - Please block  indef with no talkpage or email per the above note, and  for a week. --Jack Frost (talk) 12:32, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Has the same Indonesian range as 180.248.118.218 and 180.246.137.4, the latter of whom was caught as I love you after making an incomprehensible request at ANI. Both 180.24x IPs and the 36.85 trio have started or supported barely-coherent RMs made in rapid succession at Talk:Can't Stop Feeling. Immediately after an RM started by 36.85.39.196 and supported by 36.85.36.95 was closed as no consensus, 36.85.34.109 launched another one. Nohomersryan (talk) 05:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
