See the message I received here. Similar edits between the users on the article Grand Chase over the last 30 days. See edits by sock master: 12345, the edits by Justdoit123455: 12, and the edits by ReadBeforeTalking: 12. They all leave very similar edit summaries that are long in description and tell others what to do, and are changing the same information and restoring it back to the article. The edits by each account don't overlap one another; hence, if anything, this could be a case of meat puppetry.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:49, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Sock or Meat Judging by their contributions definitely a meat or sock(more likely). Sincerely,    Masum Reza ☎  05:16, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Endorsed for a CU check; the behavioral evidence is there to assert suspicion but not enough to move forward immediately...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:01, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * All three accounts are ✅ to one another. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:05, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

No checkuser because the previous accounts are stale. RockstarHead is fingerprinted by sharing an interest in unusual pages with Khilieexodia17 and other socks. Sockpuppet Justdoit123455 made this edit giving "PH" a link to the Philippines, which was reverted, and ReadBeforeTalking made the same edit. This was followed by RockstarHead also linking the PH initials. ReadBeforeTalking changed the verb and placed a hidden note about "is" versus "are" regarding the Backstreet Boys, and RockstarHead later changed the verb in the same manner, referencing the hidden note. ReadBeforeTalking placed an incomplete medium.com citation here, then Rockstarhead came by later and filled out the citation further. For the record, RockstarHead provided citations with Philippines URL links here, pointing to a Philippines location, despite the userpage claim to be a teenage girl from Australia.

 * The evidence presented (grammar warring over is/are, fixing the same citation, interaction overlap, etc) sure points to there being a connection, but the tone of the edit comments from Rockstar doesn't seem the same as from the socks in the archive, i.e. Revert, The album has a mix of pop rock and funk rock once again DON'T BE STUPID AND GET YOUR EARS CLEAN, you don't know this song and stop using a dummy account and use a real wikipedia account vs. What's wrong with having only one source? having 6 in the genre section is still okay, please check their album "A Thousand Suns" it has 6 genres in it. My inclination is to say this isn't the same person, but I'd appreciate a second opinion. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:04, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I can't compare directly to any previous socks due to being stale, but I didn't find any sleeper accounts.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:38, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I see Roy's comment above, but in my opinion there's just too much overlap between these two - they're connected somehow. as suspected. GeneralNotability (talk) 03:49, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
