Suspected sockpuppets

OK, the fact that Jello186 was still posting, and was not blocked, escaped my notice until now. But it's time to finally open up an SPI page for User:Mickeydee15 sockpuppets, as this editor's disruption has been going on for over 5 years now.

The general pattern here is disruptive editing, especially disruptively adding rowspan to Filmography tables again consensus (and against WP:STYLEVAR), among other things.

The evidence here is that User:BlackW76 was blocked by admin on March 2, 2021 and the User:Jello186 account was created just 4 days later, and matches BlackW76's (and Mickeydee15's) focus on the articles Lauren Lee Smith, Frankie Drake Mysteries, Murdoch Mysteries, and Rebecca Liddiard (I think the interaction report is telling, especially the focus on all three editing the article for author Janet Evanovich). But the clincher is the editing pattern at Lauren Lee Smith – e.g. this and this from BlackW76, and this from Jello186 just days later; note also the similar edit summaries here and here.

Based on Mickeydee15's past behavior, the probability of sleepers is significant, so I've asked for a CheckUser as well. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:52, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
This is a purely circumstantial report, but based on these recent edits from User:RiverviewPatches and these somewhat similar previous edits from User:Jello186 (who is a confirmed sock of User:BlackW76, and thus an assumed sock of User:Mickeydee15) at the relatively obscure Janet Evanovich article, along with this interaction report which shows significant interest in previous Mickeydee15 targets Murdoch Mysteries and List of Murdoch Mysteries episodes (among others), and the continued editing focus on incorrect use of rowspan in Filmography tables in contravention of WP:FILMOGRAPHY (e.g. this and this and this), I am now fairly convinced that User:RiverviewPatches is another Mickeydee15 sock... I am not going to request a CheckUser here, on the assumption that there won't be an useful data for it, though I will defer to whoever takes this case on the question. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 08:07, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

 * I was more or less ready to block based on the evidence presented, but there was some useful data in the cu logs for BlackW76 that leave no room for doubt. Blocking, tagging etc.   Girth Summit  (blether)  18:01, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
