This SPI was spawned from WP:SPI/CensoredScribe (16 August 2016) after a CU concluded that the alleged sockpuppets in that case were ✅ to each other, but ❌ to CensoredScribe. Musicbyac is the oldest of these socks, so I've created a new SPI in this account's name and listed the socks in order (oldest first). — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:29, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Recreation of a previously deleted category within hours of each other. All are more than likely socks of another user (perhaps User:TreCoolGuy). TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:20, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

 * This is just my opinion, but I don't think AMHouse or JosSparkeR have anything to do with Stylized as "stylized" currently; formerly "stylizeD". Recently, a sock of Stylized (User:Fish in the Sea) needed to have talk page access disabled by User:Ponyo. Shortly after that, the Page 1 account was created, which reverted Ponyo's recent edits out of revenge. But many of Ponyo's edits were reverts of other sock edits, making the situation even more confusing. He's created other revert-only accounts before (for example: User:Rerack, User:Plff, User:Sro23bot, Aloha27Bot, and User:Sro23bot). It's just something he does to get back at users he doesn't like. I agree AMHouse and JosSparkeR are probably socks, maybe of the CensoredScribe/TreCoolGuy/Musicbyac group, but I just don't think they are Stylized. Sro23 (talk) 19:51, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Registered around the same time the last sock was blocked. Immediately began aggressively creating and adding fiction-related categories (especially Marvel related ones). Removed speedy deletion templates from the category they created, which is exactly what these socks would always do when they were known as TreCoolGuy and CensoredScribe. Has a sandbox, same as every other sock. Sro23 (talk) 22:00, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

The following accounts are ✅ to each other: Note that the second account is currently blocked as a sock of ; see Sockpuppet investigations/CensoredScribe/Archive. There is substantial overlap behaviorally between the two SPI cases. Could you review the behavior? If you agree with my assessment, please merge this case into the CensoredScribe case and tag appropriately. For now, blocked without tags. ~ Rob 13 <sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">Talk 16:45, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I would recommend against a merge. Last year there was significant confusion over the SPI's of Musicbyac, CensoredScribe, and Sockpuppet investigations/TreCoolGuy/Archive. It was thought this could possibly all be the same person because behaviorally, the three sockmasters very similar to each other. However, if I recall correctly, technically they were inconclusive or unrelated to each other, so the SPI's remained separate. This case could probably be closed. Sro23 (talk) 13:25, 13 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Note I've just blocked as ✅ to the three accounts above. Note the accounts all match the technical info I have for Musicbyac socks.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  20:49, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Given that this casepage was started because the technical details of some accounts, including the master, was strongly divergent from CensoredScribe (see this SPI report), the two cases probably should remain separate. Tagging and closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:05, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Adding categories to comic book characters in a similar fashion to other sockpuppets, and subsequently edit-warring w/o discussion. Compare Special:Contributions/IMG_1548 with Special:Contributions/Green1lantern, Special:Contributions/K134urtzman, Special:Contributions/Blackfire4392, etc. These edit histories strongly suggest block evasion.
