All of the IPs listed here are from the general area of West Palm Beach, Florida, mostly from Wellington, Florida.

Malcolmlucascollins registered the user name in October 2017. His first edits were to the article List of Daiei Films, which had been created by a different sockpuppeteer, User:AzUrArInG, who is very likely from Michigan, not Florida, according to offline searching. While this first sockpuppeteer was active, IPs from Florida began working on the article, starting with this edit in May 2017, using Special:Contributions/2602:30A:C039:6C50:40FA:69E9:31A:E6B. That IP had already been active at articles related to animated films and cartoons, comics, biology and taxonomy, Godzilla, Batman, Superman, TV shows, horror stories and a few other topics. The range Special:Contributions/2602:30A:C039:6C50:40FA:69E9:31A:E6B/64 started with a taxonomy edit in March 2017, and continued through various science and pop culture edits through Jan 2018.

Malcolmlucascollins very often alternated his edits with Florida IPs, showing that they are the same person editing logged out. For example, two minutes after Malcolmlucascollins made this sequence of edits at the Gamera article, a Florida IP in the now-blocked range of Special:Contributions/2600:1700:7E31:5710:0:0:0:0/64 swooped in to add a link. Another example is a sequence of Florida–Malcolmlucascollins–Florida doing the exact same style thing in the span of a few minutes at List of Daiei Films. At Wacky Packages, I found a third example, where Florida IP fixes the coding of a reference, then six minutes later Malcolmlucascollins continues to fix the coding of the same reference.

The very first edit of Mcfoureyes was to ask another user why the previous edits of Mcfoureyes had been changed. The previous edit in that discussion had been made to the List of Daiei Films by a Florida IP, mostly changing to lower case to match Japanese transliteration conventions. So Mcfoureyes was saying that he was the same person as 2600:1700:7E31:5710:649A:C0F1:7A9C:E45E.

Mcfoureyes and Malcolmlucascollins and the Florida IPs have violated WP:MULTIPLE by editing the same articles, even edit warring the same material as at Neron (DC Comics). Binksternet (talk) 04:09, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Well, it's probably the same person, but no temporal overlap between the master and Mcfoureyes and no obvious evasion of scrutiny, so I'm going to treat this as a lost password, rename, what have you, and not take action on those grounds. Drmies has given the active /64 a nice long block, remaining IPs haven't edited in a while. Closing without further action. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:04, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
