If you look at the history, you will see a visual editing tag in the edit of both accounts and, upon refusal, adds the copied content to this article. Dam222 🌋 (talk) 18:21, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

If it is not use sockpuppet then why did it remove this message? And the user is just fond of undoing.  . Dam222 🌋 (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I moved this page, as if there was a sock, the sock would probably be Cora-alt, not Wowiskpoopi. -Shift674-🌀contribs 01:01, 7 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment I think the evidence is piling up a little. The Meteorological history of Hurricane Eta has been subject to edit warring by the above IP (and was created by ), and once the page was protected resumed it on their behalf. Bit of a smoking gun if you ask me. — Czello 20:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I saw the warring and I would’ve liked if the unknown IP person would’ve at least given a reason. But him not doing that just made it worse I really would’ve liked to start a whole article but it didn’t work out — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wowiskwpoopi (talk • contribs) 20:25, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Please explain why we should not consider you to be the same under the WP:DUCK test, especially as the IP's and accounts are completely temporally disjoint in their editing pattern.--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:27, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

1. Because I’m not an idiot and I don’t revert everything I see 2. Because I was just trying to make an article I was trying to be constructive. 3. I only ever use one email and I never make second accounts — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wowiskwpoopi (talk • contribs) 20:29, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

This new account, 8 days after creation, seemingly games autoconfirmed status by making random edits to their userpage and then their first content edit is to restore the same image as the purported master had inserted during the edit war. This just seems like too much of a coincidence, especially with the autoconfirmed gaming. Jasper Deng (talk) 19:46, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I'd like to point out that this user does have a history of sockpuppeteering under an older name, and their case can be found at Sockpuppet investigations/Cristianpogi678/Archive. Chlod (say hi!) 19:50, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Titania459 is ❌ to HurricaneEdgar. It is that Titania459 is  from Sockpuppet investigations/Mazum24 based on certain technical similarities. Although the technical evidence is not conclusive enough to confirm a match, I am convinced enough on behavioral evidence. Wowiskwpoopi is also interested in changing images on hurricane articles, see, and on the Wikimedia Commons, Titania459 recently showed up to defend an image that Wowiskwpoopi uploaded . .  Please merge this case with Sockpuppet investigations/Mazum24. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 20:12, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Merged as requested. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:27, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Obvious socks of Mazum24, given the behavior. The first account is extremely similar to Wowiskwpoopi, a known sock of this LTA. For example, their userpages are very similar, and this person resumed an edit war concerning the same image on Hurricane Katrina. Please run a sleeper check, since this person has made new socks recently. If this person is him, the IP(s) should also be blocked to prevent further sock creation.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 22:21, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Adding Td30W, another account that is also exhibiting the same behavior, including cross-wiki edit-warring, a known pattern of this LTA. This person's edit summaries are also quite similar to some of the ones seen from this LTA, particularly those during his edit war. This user also got South Atlantic tropical cyclone fully-protected after a vicious edit war just earlier today.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 16:11, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The first account has been Globally Locked. As for the second account, here are some examples of the edit-warring: . The perennial edit-warring on tropical cyclone pages and the types of edit summaries are dead giveaways. There are also more examples of edit-warring and other incompetent behavior characteristic of this sockmaster in their contributions page. This kind of behavior is identical to socks such as Wowiskwpoopi, such as this and this. There is also more evidence on Commons; the edit-warring on tropical cyclone satellite pictures and track images is identical to this sockmaster; and there is also some off-wiki evidence that I cannot provide here (one sock, Cora-Alt, declared on the Force Thirteen Discord Server that a "friend" would be uploading a disputed image to the Hurricane Katrina article, shortly before another edit-war there was resumed by a sock). These accounts are obviously socks of this LTA, and I would like a CU to run a sleeper check to uncover any potential sleeper accounts, since at least a few accounts slipped through the last CU.

 * . Looking at the editor interaction analyzer, their overlap spans at least 120 days. I don't see a close enough timeline to justify the use of CU.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:33, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

 * The accounts above are ✅ to previous Mazum24 socks. I also found a number of other confirmed accounts, but the only one that hadn't already been locked globally was . . for Doodle898 (the only unlocked account), closing. Mz7 (talk) 05:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Noting that Doodle is technically the oldest account, but given that it only has a single edit, I don't think it's worth the hassle of a move. Blablubbs&#124;talk 11:17, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
