All these editors are intertwined in creating and editing the following articles: SMG4, Murder Drones, Sunset Paradise and Meta Runner. As each article states It is produced by Glitch Productions and on the articles Youtube links have been added. SMG4 youtube artwork even has Murder drones on the playlist channel. JessGlitchProd is obviously is a decalred COI editor as well. Multiple issues with these articles, some editors have at some time tried to do the same edit on SMG4 and pushed 9 times to get the article reviewed with little changes made in revisions. Interesting to see this Deleted edit, how many accounts does this editor have? Equine-man (talk) 12:30, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Regarding the deleted edit,

That would be one of the following: A. Trolling B. An admission of undeclared, though legitimate accounts, which must be declared immediately. C. Admission of sockpuppetry

If they don't explain that edit or declare their "accounts", I would think that it should be enough evidence to run a CheckUser. Mako001 (talk) 08:16, 20 November 2021 (UTC)


 * English is not Starkyu's first language and as explained on my talk page User talk:MarnetteD he had an account on the Italian wikipedia that he never used and thought that is what the SPI message was referring to. So far other than editing the same articles no evidence of socking has been presented. This is like saying that all the people who edit Dr Who or MCU articles must be socks of each other.

User:Tamzin, Evidences of violation of WP:SOCK, Inappropriate uses - "Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts": Merrick Sulyma, OverDriver05, Mark justino hurka and Maxi Cava2007 PR have all contributed to Murder Drones, most significantly Mark justino hurka moving the page from Draft after it was rejected by an independent editor. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:13, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * . You have not presented evidence of any violations of WP:SOCK. Could you please provide some diffs showing either that these are the same person, or that they are multiple people who have collaborated inappopriately? At a glance, it looks plausible that these are members of the same fandom.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 19:28, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That's only a policy violation if these are the same person, and so far no one has presented evidence that they are, just that they're editing the same articles, which is not against policy. Even collaborating on articles is not inherently against policy; after all, that's how many GAs and FAs get written. Looking further at Reddit and Twitter, I am even more confident in my assessment that this is members of the same fandom. . If any of these users are disruptive, that can be dealt with through the normal means. (And on that note, with clerk hat off I will be reporting Sir Benedict at UAA.) --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 01:52, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
