Socking, trolling, some weird issues, first noticed from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 129. Govvy (talk) 11:42, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

 * IP edit here claims that the two editors are different people but I am highly sceptical. For what's it worth, I am unsure if blocking these account(s) will have any impact, as the majority of the vandalism has occurred from a multitude of IPs (see the edit histories of Matthew Lowton and Jack Cork for a sample) and I suspect that would simply continue..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:33, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It's still socking and trolling and needs to be dealt with in my opinion. Govvy (talk) 13:50, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * FYI, it looks like the original master is per Mike2Matthews17's user page and was registered a week before the second account. This page may be moved as a consequence. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:17, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Edits on the same pages in the same manner (Jay Rodriguez et al) - EDIT: Turns out this is a duplicate of the above, added via Twinkle. Apologies.Gricehead (talk) 11:47, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Also noticed 84.9.230.13 doing a bit of trolling as well (Matt Lowton → Jonathan Field) and using fake signatures on this talk page where the IP renamed myself from "Swan" to "Pig" and listing myself an enemy of the user who owns the talk page. Also restored massive move request to trigger the RMCDBot (that failed thanks to the eagle-eyed page watcher).

I would like to suggest a rangeblock on the above ranges, which include a total of 2048 IP addresses. Mike Matthews is the only person who has used these ranges since 2019. An anonblock would cause no collateral. User has claimed that he will repeat his disruption on a weekly basis. – Thjarkur (talk) 12:16, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, these addresses are but a small part of the Vodafone UK dynamic address pool, and any block has only a small chance of stopping the user further vandalising.

Yes, this seemed far too familiar. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 09:44, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * @HighInBC You've more familiar with this case than I am, so I'll leave it to you, but if you were to re-block them as a sock, I'll add the appropriate tag and we can take this off the CU queue. There was a sleeper check done just last week, so I don't see much point in CU at the present time. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * My familiarity goes only as far as seeing the same trolling under different usernames that were indef blocked. I have updated the block log to indicate that they were socking. I don't know enough to tie them to a particular case. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 13:05, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, OK, if you can't tie them back to this particular case, I'll just close this and leave them untagged as currently tagged. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:13, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Username follows a first name, surname and number pattern. Editing made to Swansea City and Cardiff City were both restored to versions made by the previously blocked Theresa3Wachowski42 and Ron3Carlsen17 respectively, both mentioned accounts in this evidence are named similar to the two suspected socks to this sock master without a 3 in those cases. In addition, this account is similar to Alice Thompson134 and Nicole Davies164 in the way all those accounts are named after a female name, random surname and a three digit number. I am convinced by username alone that these accounts are linked from the same sockmaster as has done in most other cases, see categories above. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 14:44, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * And added Fez3Hodgson13, who has added this massive move request which has stayed live long enough to tag affected pages. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:14, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That mass move request was signed to make it appear that it had been User:Iggy the Swan's edit, which may have helped it survive more prompt deletion. Can't we implement a "blacklist" that prevents an editor from saving an edit that they've signed by a different editor? wbm1058 (talk) 00:54, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good plan. My signature has also been used by the vandal in other places as well (e.g. this one) which was allowed to stay live long enough for that discussion to be archived and also at WT:Footy as well, example. Implementing a "blacklist" could solve that part of the problem. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 06:22, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

 * The Theresa3Wachowski42 account is already glocked, blocking the account on en.wiki does not make any difference, per Global locks on meta, they can't log into any Wikipedia at all therefore unable to make any further edits.

All edits on this account have been vandalism, and most of them have been reverting previous RVVs of similar content (see user contributions), not to mention calling said RVVs vandalism themselves. And as per one particular edit on Ella Toone, I'm now on some sort of list? Benjamin112 &#9742;  16:22, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I had put Victoria Sander178 on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mike Matthews17 who is the sock master of the whole thing, started back in November 2019 (I think). has blocked that account with the reason giving the linked page I gave here after the text "abusing multiple accounts".

Standard user name pattern (first name, last name plus number stuck onto the latter name). Edits made (,  and ) are the same type as e.g. Jack.S.Warrington742  who has made similar silly comparisons claiming one is better than another. Might be related to "Johannnes891993" who impersonated Johannnes89 and recently the master creates more than one account to disrupt on different sets of articles. Requesting CU for confirmation if these two are confirmed to each other or not. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:59, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Taking Dreamy Jazz' findings at the Pollard SPI and zzuuzz' findings here together, it seems that the FredHarrison and Stepehen Carlsen sox are more likely Matthews than Pollard, but I'll leave it to another clerk to make that final determination (or to decide it's not worth determining), unless I loop back to this later. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 13:19, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Per discussion at User_talk:Iggy_the_Swan, it would appear, according to Johannnes89, that both Spuds (Scarecrow being the first one) appear to be related to "Stephen Carlsen64", yet User:Spud the Wikipedian claims that user is not naughty, begins with an IP address of 46 and did not know what happened with Spud the Scarecrow. Not sure what was on Robby.is.on's mind when reverting one of Spud's edits. And on this section, it appears that Spud denys themselves being Mike Matthews17 though Johannnes89 and I might have been in mutual disagreement in the content seen. Requesting CheckUser for clarification as to if these two are related or not as I feel it is possible Spud is not out of the woods here. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:16, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Unsurprisingly, they're ✅ here too. Behaviourally, I think this is given the harassment of Iggy the Swan, but I can't offer technical confirmation of that (it's  based on log data). Carwyn, I'll leave it to someone else to decide whether this is worth merging.  --Blablubbs (talk) 08:17, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Original user name format. This edit at the beginning matches this one in agreeing with me on requested moves and recently this person participates in discussions I've been involved in earlier, which my name is seen above. Requesting CheckUser for any missing accounts as I've also seen three instances of "Sir (a / de) " on my watchlist today. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:57, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
