BG was blocked on 6 July, Billy was created two days later. Billy has edited multiple pages in BG's userspace. Both have made the same pointless edits to spacing (BG, Billy) and both have moved drafts/articles in to their userspace. – 2 . O . Boxing  11:14, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Same editing behaviour of rapidly and repeatedly adding and removing whitespace (see the vast majority of the user's many edits to Guardians of the Galaxy (film), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ‎, Immortals (2011 film),and  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and compare to edits by socks user:Ben_Gritty and user:MatchingLife for example). Redirected User:FunMargin/Moonhaven, which is a recent sock's userpage and which has recently been edited by another known sock, user:CyborgSeeker. Checkuser requested due to recent CU findings of multiple socks on this account. Meters (talk) 00:15, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Has targeted some of the same articles, making hundreds of utterly pointless edits to spacing, similar to socks from the archive. Best picture can be gained by just looking at the contribs page, which makes the pattern very clear. Given previous history of having sleepers, seems worth doing some checkuser-ing. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 11:42, 31 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Also,a look at the contribs of the much older account shows much the same pattern of useless edits. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 11:55, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Firefly: Wouldn't connevting this to RayDrum then mean that this is actually ? Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 14:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The Kristianatienza SPI started up only one month after the last CensoredScribe case opened, so this basically fits in to that case quite nicely. The CamelCase usernames pattern is quite noticeable too. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 14:23, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Firefly: Yep, that makes it clearer. Maybe later ill look at it again, and perhaps come back with something a bit more definitive. Enjoy your vacation! Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 14:46, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

 * @Mako001 - apologies, I should've been clearer. I made (and make now) no determination with regard to RayDrum. RayDrum/CensoredScribe seems to mess about with categorisation, whereas socks here seem to focus on pointless whitespace edits. I'm sceptical they're the same case, but won't be surprised if someone with more case familiarity finds something I'm missing. firefly  ( t · c ) 14:39, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
