Joshua4170 has spent almost the entire month of July only editing his own userpage to create tables for television show seasons that don't exist or already have articles When I tagged it Joshua3700 was created but it was Joshua4170 who created the userpage making yet another fake season page.(User:Joshua3700 now deleted) Then Joshua5670 was created and made the exact same userpage as the previous two Joshua accounts.

Strangely before doing the edits on his userpage Joshua4170 hadn't edited Wikipedia since 2015.

I have come across quite a lot of accounts using their userpages to make tables for fake shows and Joshua4320 and Joshua5700 were two others doing the same thing but the userpages are long deleted so I don't recall if the content was the same as these current Joshua's.

Yet another new one within hours of the last one being blocked. Same activities of using their user page to create strange tables of shows. The exact same table as previously blocked Joshua3500.

I didn't bother requesting checkuser because it appears this person creates a new account each time but I guess it is possible there are sleepers. Notfrompedro (talk) 15:25, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Like the other socks, Pssykko makes no edits to actual articles but instead just spends weeks creating tables for non-existent articles on their own pages. In this case, User:Pssykko/sandbox instead of their userpage. Notfrompedro (talk) 19:54, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Same behavior as all the other socks. Creates tables for made-up seasons of shows and doesn't edit anywhere outside of their own userpage. Notfrompedro (talk) 16:05, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
