Suspected sockpuppets
Three days after MetalDiablo666 was blocked as a sock, MetalKnight666 was created, and began reverting to restore the preferred versions of the previous sock.

The Denver IP range Special:Contributions/2603:8001:BA01:A5F5:0:0:0:0/64 has also been active at the same small pool of articles.

The named accounts are blocked by checkuser, but I'm asking for checkuser again to roust sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 20:46, 10 August 2022 (UTC) Binksternet (talk) 20:46, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

 * The accounts and the /64 are all already blocked. A CU was run less than an hour ago based on block logs. There's nothing left to do here; closing. --Jack Frost (talk) 21:06, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

The previous sock MetalDiablo666 was blocked in Aug 2022 after edit-warring at hard rock and heavy metal music articles such as Skid Row (American band), in the same manner as Mr. Punk Pirate. Since then, he has been using throwaway IPs from Greater Los Angeles, especially locations near LAX. The IP 12.18.188.162 was blocked last month for the same stuff.

The very first edit of AgentOrange9 was to restore the edits of IPs at the frequently targeted Skid Row band article.

Checkuser requested to make certain of the connection, and to search for sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 02:03, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Registered sock handled, active IPs are blocked, rest of the IPs are stale. Closing. DatGuyTalkContribs 17:07, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Axl-DC's first edit was to restore sock-preferred material at the Skid Row band page, frequently visited by socks.

Checkuser requested to make certain. Binksternet (talk) 22:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Adding IP 76.87.247.88 and 104.1.52.214 which were listed in the previous case, now reverting back to sock-preferred versions. Binksternet (talk) 03:18, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
