 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

I have been in discussions with both of these accounts. In both of these discussions, comments were made that had little to nothing to do with the discussion. Later, LooneyTunerIan suggest a claim of mistaken identity. Sarujo (talk) 20:49, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I feel as if this is Gabby, just that she created her account before her range got blocked in September. I noticed the following traits:
 * Use of -- before their signature (seen here with Merrie and here with Gabby)
 * Use of all starting capital letters in their talk page headers (seen here with Merrie and here with Gabby)
 * Also edits in TV show and anime topics, as seen from the edits of Merrie. A lot of WP:NOTAFORUM violations which Gabby is also known for.
 * Interested in The Loud House, for example. See blocked sock Special:Contributions/LisaLoudGrandScienceFair.jpg (Lisa Loud is the name of a character in The Loud House) and this comment on Talk:The Loud House Movie wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  07:24, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

also had this to say in the WP:DISCORD: "the spacing in their talk page messages also bears a similarity to some of the past socks -- sentence, line break, sentence, line break, etc" wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  07:25, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Figured I'd explain what I meant by this a little bit -- here is a blocked sock of Gabby employing some weird line spacing. In particular, note the last few lines of the "Requests" section. Here and here are edits where MerrieMelodian displayed very similar quirks.  always forever  (talk) 07:31, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Looks like Merrie left a message on my talk page saying that "I am not Gabriella", not sure how that would apply. User_talk:Wizzito wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  00:55, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

 * I agree that it's them. The signature thing is pretty distinctive and it seems to be something they did fairly consistently while editing as an IP; same interests and style of NOTFORUM comments; and there's this as their first edit, which makes it clear that we're dealing with a repeat customer. - please indef the sock. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:31, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, the -- before the signature is just a source editing toolbar thing; I concur that this is probably a repeat offender given their first edit though, and I think it's fairly likely to be Gabriella., closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 01:23, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * seems I was wrong here; based on the discussion at User_talk:MerrieMelodian, it looks like this account is actually a sock of . They are evading a block either way, though. A SPI case for this master exists at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/LooneyTunerIan. I will leave it up to the next clerk to decide whether it's worth histmerging, tagging, etc. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:18, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
