Recreation of hoax articles, like America's next top model teenage boys and the user page: User:Nick Cataldoll. Master created Nick Cataldo and User:Prisoner Break CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  13:47, 5 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Added Age of Dorothy etc... as blatant and obvious hoax creations + inclusion of Cataldo. Can someone reopen and request CU for sleepers please? Not sure if this is the correct master given the length of this list now. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  13:54, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Editors up to but not including Sam Cataldo based on the same creation of copyvio userpage articles with the exact same error for an actress in it. CU for sleepers might still be handy though. Amortias (T)(C) 14:03, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

These two appear to be ducks of each other. They're both userspace hoaxers about what looks like a fictitious relative of Olivia Newton-John. The infobox on Netwon John's page contains a reference to Nicholas Cataldo, which it looks like past Kevinschaffer socks have mentioned/used in usernames. I'm not very familiar with what happened here, but it looks like userspace hoax pages similar to these accounts' userpages may have been involved in the original case. Requesting CU because of the uncertainty here (only behavioral link I'm able to see is the Nicholas Cataldo reference) and to check for sleepers, since userspace is sparsely patrolled and so these types of cases tend to involve sleepers.

✅ that the following accounts are related: Well, some of the accounts are slightly less confirmed to be related than the others, but I'm mostly splitting hairs since at worst I'd say this is bordering on ✅ anyway. --Deskana (talk) 23:04, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

These usernames are extremely similar and were created within three minutes of each other. Usernames suggest these may be linked to Kevinschaffer, but the "Prince Nick" accounts have not edited. However, the "Princess Nick" account had a userpage that was speedy deleted. I can't see it because I'm not an admin, but the U5 reasoning is in line with past Kevinschaffer sock behavior, and when I looked in that account's logs it appears there was a "Nick Cataldo" reference in the page (common in Kevinschaffer socks). The last time I encountered Kevinschaffer, the socks I found also had extremely similar usernames, and an account CU found included the string "Wedding of" at the beginning. Requesting CU because two of these accounts have not edited (though there is some behavioral evidence regardless) and because this case involves behavior in userspace, which means sleepers often evade patrols.
