was what tipped me off. JoBrLa had a history of adding sections like that to Interstate Highway articles. Once I saw that, I looked at the IP's contribs. Kansas and Missouri roads, Jim Rome, and Neil Sedaka were all common themes in JoBrLa's contribs. I believe it to be JoBrLa evading his block. –Fredddie™ 23:16, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Block evasion. Lance The Scorpion has the same editing patterns that JoBrLa had: Jim Rome (LTS's userpage and ), Kansas/Missouri roads, Kansas University basketball , and Neil Sedaka –Fredddie™ 15:26, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Excuse my ignorance but user JoBrLa is already blocked, I'm assuming for sockpuppetry, so what is the purpose for launching this investigation? Meatsgains (talk) 07:08, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

There is an obvious intersection in interests between the two accounts. There are also some edits that connect the accounts (not too much evidence is given above). In addition to the other articles, there is some interest in religious articles. That's only interesting because the master when he first created his user page, said he was a student studying for the ministry. He then blanked the page five minutes before he was blocked. Another piece of evidence is the recent history at Missouri Route 152. An IP made this edit. It was then reverted by Fredddie. Then Lance restored it. Based on geolocate, the IP edits from Topeka, Kansas, just as the IPs who've been blocked as suspected puppets do. I would endorse a CU, but I believe the master's edits are too old. I have therefore blocked based on duck. Also tagged the puppet but not the master. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:58, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Similar interests as before. Not requesting CU as it would come up stale. Rschen7754 19:43, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
