 * , you tagged this as the suspected sock of . Is there a reason for that I'm missing? I saw your tag after I was in CU on the unblock request. I'll also ping as the blocking admin of that account in case he remembers anything. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:35, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I only revoked talk for that account. Looking at the block log, though, I don't think I changed anything. —DoRD (talk)​ 04:44, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I tagged MMMcMaster as a suspected sock of Kbq430 because we know from here they were operating from the same IP address and we know from their overlap in editing that they edit essentially only exactly the same articles. --Yamla (talk) 11:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Yamla. Would a clerk please move this case to Kbq430 and retag. Thanks, and sorry for the extra work :/ TonyBallioni (talk) 16:44, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

User who's been nominating a lot of pages for deletion, with very little apparent understanding of how our notability standards work — they've nominated several topics that are perfectly fine. What leads me to believe that they might be a sockpuppet is that their language in AFD nominations is highly similar to some other past sockpuppets of Kbq430: compare, for instance, User19004's "Not a notable publication; not encyclopedically relevant." here to blocked Kbq sock User:NL19931993's "Not a notable roadway; not in any sense encyclopedically relevant." here (where, notice, the topic was a provincial highway, thus betraying a similar misunderstanding of how notability works on here too.) It also bears mention, because it's almost certainly not a coincidence, that both The Scope and Torbay Road are in the same city. Bearcat (talk) 03:04, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Looks pretty likely based on the behaviour and CU makes this too. Sock blocked and tagged, closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:26, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

The previous sock User:User19004 was blocked on June 16. And then User:User13769 started editing on June 18th, in the exact same topic areas. Interaction analysis here. Nfitz (talk) 18:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

 * The two "User" accounts are ✅ -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 19:19, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * . User19004 was not confirmed to the sockmaster, so this sock has not been confirmed to the sockmaster. Close. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 22:28, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Same habit of rapid-fire AfD nominations on Canadian topics - compare and  (also note the distinctive edit summaries). Significant subject matter overlap with previous accounts (mainly Newfoundland and Labrador-related articles) - see Editor Interaction Analyzer report with the two most recent socks.

 * Overlap and distinctive edit summaries when nominating for AfD are convincing. . GeneralNotability (talk) 19:49, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
