 * Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of PianoManFolkRock is now up to 11 and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of PianoManFolkRock has 5 more. I first encounteted this sockfest yesterday and blocked a few; there are many created per day. And there are also lots of IPs, some of which seem semi-static, and which have a similar geolocation to each other. Would be great if a CU could help stem the tide.

Typical pattern of rapid editing to genre-war, with occasionally-abusive edit summaries, at a large number of articles related to various pop-music artists. Often performs an IP edit quickly followed by an account edit or different IP edit, so unsuspecting vandal patrollers "revert" and lock in the earlier IP's edit. Posting some accounts here based on behavior at some of their favorite targets (none of which were previously tagged as part of this set, as requested by Risker. There are a bunch in the sock-cat for this one as well.

Also of interest is: who tagged one sock account as being a sock of a different sock. DMacks (talk) 07:01, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

And: doing interleaved editing with it (see It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)). Note also this pair of accounts sprung into action on some old-favorite targets as soon as the semiprotection on those pages expired. Blocked both. DMacks (talk) 15:43, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Another batch (note, many recent ones are not tagged): User has jumped among lots of IPv6 in that range (some individual ones previously blocked and reported), as expected for IPv6 allocations.
