Lionhead99 was blocked after being caught adding copyright violations but also suspected to have operated two other accounts ( and ) to by-pass the block, but Mydogeatsbetter has existed since June 2013, unlike the other accounts that have been created post the block but has become rather active since the 14th of July. The editing interests are the same and the behavior seems very similar in that a new article seems to have close paraphrased content (very thing that Lionhead99 did and was blocked for) but also the area's they're editing (mostly NSW related).

This account was initially active between 13-21 June, Lionhead99 hardly edited between those dates (no edits between 14-19 June). Other dips in Lionhead99's editing frequency in June correspond to some extent with periods when the previous socks were active. Both accounts have also made accusations of bad faith against editors who revert them, implying they're being unfairly singled out. I've added a checkuser request.

 * I don't know. It looks to me like a great big pile of circumstantial evidence. I went through the contributions of Mydog, Lion, and the two socks, and I have not been seeing much actual editing overlap, or terribly similar conversational styles. Could just be two dudes in Australia. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:36, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * - Since there have been no further developments since my last comment, I am declining this CU request. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:43, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Closing as inconclusive. If there is more evidence of socking, please refile.
