Adding Category:British social commentators to articles, very similar to sockpuppet User:AtheismAnarchist887. Sro23 (talk) 22:20, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes, my block was up and I was free to create another account. However, did I add the category to any article that wasn't synonymous with the category? How can you accuse me of abusing this account? MarxistAtheist991 (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't you understand that you were blocked as an individual? You can't just create a new sockpuppet account. If you don't want to be blocked anymore, request an unblock on your original JP8077 account. Sro23 (talk) 22:38, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

How could I get that when I was blocked indefinitely? I was under the impression once I was blocked indefinitely I could no longer edit on my original account. Anyway, now I have a block on the original account I just want to start over again, cheers. MarxistAtheist991 (talk) 22:41, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Easy indeed. Tagged and closing. You can only request an unblock through your first account (JP8077), just follow the instructions in the block notice. GABgab 03:27, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Addition of similar categories to the same articles as previous socks. This person uses one account to add one category and a new account to add another one. examples:      Sro23 (talk) 05:14, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Re-created Category:Kidnapped Northern Irish people, which has twice been created by socks, edits to Pat Condell, a sock target: , overall adds categories the same way all other socks have in the past Sro23 (talk) 02:30, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Like previous socks, this appears to be a new account created in order to add dubious categories (in this case, relating to Nihilism) to accounts. As with previous accounts, this user describes themself as an anarchist, an atheist, an antitheist and a nihilist. Although there is no individual edit which clearly demonstrates the identity, there is a similar username to several confirmed socks, a very similar pattern of editing, a militant anti-religious attitude, and an interest in Irish issues. To me, this is quacking loudly. RolandR (talk) 17:54, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Blocked and tagged based on behavior. I see no justification for a CU; nor does the filer explain why one is needed. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:08, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

JustaguyontheInternet was registered two days after the previous sock, ResidentofPlanetEarth, was indeffed. JustaguyontheInternet is doing the same things: creating dubious categories and filling them. Especially noticeable is the practice of JustaguyontheInternet following up on edits made by confirmed socks ResidentofPlanetEarth and JohnfromLondon. (Example 1. Example 2. Example 3. Example 4.) I don't think checkuser is necessary since the behavior is conclusive. Binksternet (talk) 15:18, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Same category behavior... like re-creating Category:20th-century English male comedians and such. All of these categories had been deleted by G5 only last month. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 19:49, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Just like the sockpuppets in the archive, the user has a similar focus on categories, and even re-created deleted categories such as Category:Northern Irish emigrants to Canada and Category:Northern Irish murder victims Sro23 (talk) 18:24, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

New account, immediately jumps into recategorising in articles; cf. INC's category work (ctrl+F "Category"). Also note both accounts working on comedians, stand-ups, etc. As for the name; well. INC when it comes to self-satire. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia / cheap shit room 13:10, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks ; it was just pointed out to me before you blocked that JP8 was the more likely. Can't reveal my sources ;) but what a dead-eye. Cheers!  —SerialNumber54129  paranoia / cheap shit room 13:38, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Sadly, cases like these rely on some institutional knowledge of recognizing the pattern of behavior and remembering the name of the ne'er-do-well in question. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:14, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
