On Grimsby (film) the suspected sockmaster added a section which was subsequently reverted for being to detailed. User:86.187.162.184 then began edit warring with several users to get the content back. The IP didn't leave an edit summary on any of the reverts, and it's edits to that page are the first and only edits it's made. See Special:Contributions/86.187.162.184. The second IP, did the same thing, although they only reverted once. Omni Flames  let's talk about it  00:06, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

The third anon edits the exact same types of articles as Kingo7672, has the same competence/grammar issues in their edits and they both falsely claim that they will fix their behaviour. DarkKnight2149 02:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Not long after was blocked for WP:CIR in late April 2016,  surfaced in early May. Both editors edit the exact same types of articles (articles pertaining to films and geek culture). Like Kingo7672, KyloRen123 is consistently warned for disruptive editing, and has been blocked three times for said behaviour. Both users also share similar grammatical problems, including the improper placement of commas in sentences. It should also be pointed out that both have similar user name styles (worded name, followed by a series of numbers). Kingo7672 has used IP addresses as socks in the past, so it shouldn't come as a shock that he would create a new account after being blocked. DarkKnight2149 23:57, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Update: More evidence has just presented itself. responds to discussions on his Talk Page in the same incorrect manner as by duplicating the section header. DarkKnight2149 23:42, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

 * KyloRen123 has been a consistently problematic editor who has only been here since May yet already has been blocked twice and has been given warning numerous times by multiple editors. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:59, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I have KyloRen123 on my watchlist, and he was just blocked yet again today for the persistent addition of uncited material. DarkKnight2149 23:40, 8 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Kingo7672 began editing in 20th of april and ended in 26th of april. 2016
 * KyloRen123 began editing in 3rd of september, through 8th of september, 2016.
 * Breakdowm, the timing is consistent with sockpuppetry, especially as both accounts appear to edit movies, often well known ones. Iazyges (talk) 03:42, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Admin action needed - Looks like a ducky sock to me (for the reasons in Darkknight2149's report, namely focus area, commas, and talk page responding styles matching exactly); please extend KyloRen123's block to indefinite. Your concise and efficient report is highly appreciated.  Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 02:46, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
