See this AN thread for previous issues regarding Zoltanmd2, who was blocked by for being an apparent role account (though it's fairly obvious it was actually one user, claiming to be multiple persons about whom he/she was trying to start articles). Kevincameron1986 popped up about the same time, and there are striking similarities between the two accounts' behavior: The similarity in activity is what made me suspect these accounts were the same person, but it was seeing that both claim to be Kevin Cameron that clinched it. I doubt either account is telling the truth with that claim, but either way I think it merits a CU. IllaZilla (talk) 08:10, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Both claim to be Kevin Cameron, guitarist of the band I Killed the Prom Queen, and have made identical reversions to try to reinstate the redirected Kevin Cameron (musician) article:
 * Zoltanmd2: "I am K Cameron. I want that my wiki page should exist"
 * Kevincameron1986: "Will you argue with me, why I couldn't have even a page on wikipedia?"
 * They have made identical reversions to The Dream Walker: Zoltanmd2, Kevincameron1986.
 * Not sure what to make of these back-to-back edits by the two accounts to Train (band), but they strike me as not coincidental: Kevincameron1986, Zoltanmd2.
 * Zoltanmd2 adds a birth date to the article Mick Thomson, is reverted due to lack of source, adds it again claiming info is from Facebook, is reverted again with a request for a reliable source. With Zoltanmd2 now blocked, Kevincameron1986 adds the same birth date and is reverted due to source being unreliable. Again, strikes me as not coincidental.
 * Another overlap involving the birth date of a rock musician, this time Zsa Zsa Speck: Zoltanmd2, Kevincameron1986.
 * There is also overlap between the two accounts' editing activity at KSHMR, Alessandro Venturella , and Blasterjaxx . Though the edits are not identical, they are of a similar flavor to edits both accounts have made to other articles (birth dates and infobox images). Alone this wouldn't arouse my suspicion, but compounded with the other overlaps above it does.
 * Identical edits to Bruce Turgon, again concerning a rock musician's date of birth: Zoltanmd2, Kevincameron1986 — Note the edit summary in the second diff—"I am a relative of Bruce, everywhere is written that he was born in 1952, why you don't believe that"—of a very similar flavor to Zoltanmd2's edit summaries in which he claimed to be the subject of the articles he was editing.
 * Identical reversions to Love Equals Death, both citing Facebook as the source. First edits by Zoltanmd2:, . Now, following Zoltanmd2 being blocked, Kevincameron1986 comes along and does the same reverts, also citing Facebook: , ,.

Strong overlap of editing activity on Train (band), Love Equals Death, and Twoloud between Nfsprostreet22 and edits made by Zoltanmd2 and his sockpuppet. Kevincameron1986 blocked 14 June, Zoltanmd2 unblock request denied 16 June, Nfsprostreet22 suddenly starts editing 20 June after almost 3 months of inactivity, making very similar edits to the same articles that Kevincameron1986 and Zoltanmd2 made. Example:, , — edits by all 3 accounts to the same article, with nearly identical verbiage. IllaZilla (talk) 09:45, 12 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Note: If confirmed, it seems Nfsprostreet22 is the oldest of the 3 accounts identified so far and should therefore be named the sockmaster, with this and the archived cases renamed appropriately. However, if confirmed, I recommend a more thorough CU to check for other socks. --IllaZilla (talk) 21:01, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

in addition to the diffs provided above, examples such as vs  and  vs  makes it look like a duck to me. TDL (talk) 17:47, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

The main activity of Nfsprostreet22's recent socks was adding unsourced birth dates to articles about musicians. When reverted due to lack of sources (per BLP), he would inevitably claim to be the musician in question, or to know them in some way, or would try to source it to someplace unreliable like twitter. These IPs have all done the same, to several of the same articles that Nfsprostreet22 and his socks frequented:,. 95.65.20.40 has already been blocked by NeilN for block evasion, which was made pretty obvious when the IP removed the sockmaster notice from Nfsprostreet22's user page. I'm merely including it here so it's listed among his socks. That one seems to have been his main IP, since it was very active and appears to have edited entirely in areas that Nfsprostreet22 frequented (musicians and football clubs, the latter mostly Romanian). 188.237.241.76 also seems to be unique to him, being recent and limited to these topic areas. 71.195.251.211 may not be, as it has a past history of edits to different topic areas (guns and zodiac signs). I recommend blocks to 188.237.241.76 and 71.195.251.211 equal to the one already in place for 95.65.20.40. IllaZilla (talk) 15:32, 25 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Added 94.139.128.184 based on this edit, clearly the same person. --IllaZilla (talk) 00:04, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
