Suspected sockpuppets
Same targeted articles/behavior of editing:
 * Television show articles- adding 'end date' template to "present" (Ex: vs., as well as many other similar edits from Sndn Sjjd)
 * Pharmacy-related articles, particularly Rite Aid (Ex: vs. )
 * Same style of capital letter sentences between two accounts (Ex: "The Revival Was Scrapped Not Cancelled" vs. "TNN Became Spike Weeks After The Show Ended")

Also of note, presumable master account includes 'ddj' in the username, while the suspected sock includes 'jjd' in the username. Magitroopa (talk) 19:13, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Same capital letter edit summaries as previous sock + master. Editing same articles (for example, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Draft:Pibby, The Twisted Whiskers Show, and Eckerd Corporation) or similar articles as past account(s) (for example, Glenn Martin, DDS and List of Glenn Martin, DDS episodes). Additionally, same end date editing as both previous sock and master did the same edits. Magitroopa (talk) 04:24, 24 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Additionally, while going through the history of Eckerd Corporation, I noticed Ykqkwywkrh which has similar style edit summaries as well as similarly targeted articles, and that account was blocked for block evasion. I'm thinking this goes farther back and Ebberddj is actually yet another sock, not the master... Not 100% sure, but could this possibly be either Sockpuppet investigations/Rated Jigog or Sockpuppet investigations/Dimpsboyno3? (Rated Jigog seems to be most likely, at least from what I'm seeing...) Magitroopa (talk) 04:33, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Similarly targeted articles including Glenn Martin, DDS, Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", Rite Aid, and other pharmacy/company articles as well. Username is also very similar to past socks including Djpsn2, Ebberddj, Shsdn, and Sndn Sjjd. Magitroopa (talk) 19:51, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * This edit summary also makes the same usage of capitalized letters for most words, such as this and this. Magitroopa (talk) 21:08, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Similar "keyboard bashing" username to previous socks. Identical change to Glenn Martin, DDS article ,. Excessive capitalization as previously exhibited. Barry Wom (talk) 10:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, change to Walmart page; socks have previously made changes to various pharmacy articles

Elmo452 has picked up edit warring against an AfD result at Tickle-U where prior John Cena Fan 2002 socks and  left off. Otherwise not sure how much of a behavioral match it is, so mostly just hoping it's not too late for a CU comparison against the most recent sock blocked about a month ago. signed,Rosguill talk 19:57, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Interesting. Based on that observation, I took a deeper dive into the CU data.  They're still unrelated.  Different devices, geolocations about 1500 miles from each other and no obvious indication of proxy use.  It's always possible that there's proxies that our services aren't flagging, but it doesn't smell that way. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:24, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

The IP is still editing, including at usual target of theirs, Hess Corporation. The edit summaries they are using very clearly shows they are indeed John Cena Fan 2002- thinking a block will be needed here after all. Magitroopa (talk) 18:36, 2 August 2022 (UTC)


 * OK, I blocked the IP for a week. The problem is, that's playing whack-a-mole.  If there's specific pages they habitually target, page protection will probably be a more effective tool. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:03, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

 * I see that First Union has already been semi-protected. I'm hoping that's enough to solve this, so closing the SPI.  Please refile if it turns out that wasn't sufficient. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:11, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

User's talk page says they were previously at 192.158.218.26- edits are very reminiscent of socks here, including the Every New Word Uppercase Habit (such as this and this), as well as some edits at usually targeted articles (primarily from the IP) including Rite Aid and Eckerd Corporation.

Upon checking the confirmed/suspected socks here, other thing that caught my eye was the username: "CACA367". You know, just like past socks including "Ebbercacaca", "Enbercacacaca this account is", and "Sajocaca".

Please block both the IP and user. Magitroopa (talk) 20:08, 3 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Given that it's been since the start of November, I would (personally) suggest a sleeper check as well. Magitroopa (talk) 20:11, 3 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Also note the usage of user boxes on CACA367's talk page, similar to this and this... Magitroopa (talk) 20:15, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

 * - Looks pretty like. Could a CU take a look for any sleepers please? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:30, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The behavioural evidence is persuasive. CU isn't conclusive, but there are some details which add to my confidence that this is John Cena Fan 2002. I do not see any other accounts on the IPs they have used. Indeffing the account, and blocking the IP (which the account has declared they have used) for three months. Closing.
