Recreation of Draft:InScane, previously created by confirmed (on Commons) sock, even including erroneous protection template suggesting having seen/retained previous version before its deletion (which would not be the case for a genuine newbie). Obvious single purpose of self-promotion of same individual (see also now-deleted InScane, User:InScaneYT/sandbox/InScane, InScane (Michael Serino), etc.) and obvious name commonality with other known socks (,, etc.) While clearly a duck, this has been going on nearly a year, so probably a good idea to have a case on record and to examine whether a range block would be effective.

All known socks (see c:Category:Sockpuppets of InScaneYT) are stale here, with the exception of, which is why that account has been included above (it did not edit en.wiki before it was caught, but it did attach). Certain, limited, Commons data are here. Эlcobbola talk 20:50, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Sorry if I wasn't clear above; the purpose of referencing Realscane, whom I've already checked and confirmed on the Commons, was not to check that particular account, but to provide a non-stale data point to the CUs. This request is meant to check (and for potential range blocks), which has not edited or attached on Commons and thus is not checkable by me. For additional cleanup, see also User:InScane/sandbox/InScane. Эlcobbola talk 14:59, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , Unfortunately, User:InScane/sandbox/InScane was created before any block I can find, so it's not eligible for WP:G5. I did tag it for WP:G11, however. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:12, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

 * - Realscane is already glocked. Endorsing this for CU not because there's any doubt, but mostly just to see if there's any sleepers, and to get the right kind of block applied.  In the meantime, I'll G5 and salt Draft:InScane. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:34, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ InScane Michael = Realscane. No sleepers found for now. - Mailer Diablo 17:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Everybody's already either blocked or glocked, but adding tags to tie things back to this SPI. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:51, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
