Same edit, more or less same username as the last sockpuppet makes it a dead giveaway. I've also added the IP, as it was clearly the same user trying to blank this case while logged out. Notifying.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs) 09:18, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

 * I think I need a little help in connecting the dots. Can you link the similar edits for me so I can see the diffs? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:07, 28 April 2018 (UTC)


 * , this vs. this is the only real evidence that I have. I'm looking at the edits themselves and the edit summaries, but if I'm wrong, I'm wrong; however, an attempt by an IP to blank this section – whether it was by this person or not – still needs to be taken into consideration.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs) 11:46, 28 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Jamesmp1184 is but leaning toward .  There's some degree of overlap in the technical data, but some of it is quite dissimilar, too.  .  Most of the accounts I've checked have been very easy to confirm, so I'm going to close this for now.  The evidence just isn't there. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:47, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

There’s a good reason that links can’t be made. It isn’t a fake account and Joshua Wynne should stop trying to be a little detective. I’m a well known contributor to Railway Digest and when my article is published major changes will be happening to the 700/NGR Page. Thanks, Mick. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesmp1184 (talk • contribs) 23:24, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Whilst there might have been some doubt surrounding the last report, this user's editing pattern is more disruptive (reverting me and attempting to get me blocked). In this edit, he again removes images and replaces them with images uploaded by other LukaRuckels sockpuppets, and after making three edits to try and clean up what had been changed, this editor goes bang on the undo button, one, two, three times. That should tell you everything.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs) 05:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

This vs. this (similar edits). This (skip to the bottom of the diff, under the Future section) will show you what little difference there is between the two, and this was used to cover it up. "[N]othing says SM is replacing EM as of yet" is also an argument that this person has used before. The funniest thing? "I'm not going to make anymore socks or edits on your little train pages... but mark my words. I. Will. Be. Back. You better watch out" – nine days ago. That didn't take very long, did it?  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs) 00:03, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

 * I blocked all three accounts before seeing this report because they were listed at WP:UAA. I think a checkuser could still be helpful though - I wouldn't be surprised by other socks/sleepers.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:13, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Our friend has stated that they will not be creating any more sockpuppets, but that still doesn't mean that they should be allowed to edit on Wikipedia (and how is it "not block evasion"?). One right does not make up for a hundred wrongs. <b style="font-family:Arial"> 4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)</b> 12:52, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Quite obvious based on contributions. The user also sent me a direct message via Instagram recently asking that their images be removed from the relevant pages, which I ignored, so this appears to be the user trying to do it themselves. <b style="font-family:Arial"> 4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)</b> 14:55, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
