Suspected sockpuppets
Ninenine99 was blocked a year ago for disruptive editing that included misinformation vandalism and disrupting timeline templates. Since then, they have returned with a number of IPs, most of which resolve to Bellflower, California. ( and are the ones currently blocked.) Shortly after the last edit from the latter IP, the "Baller918" account was created. Nearly all of this account's edits were to restore content added by said IP (e.g. nonsense like and  - it's about the loudest and clearest quacking I've ever heard.

For future reference, this LTA targets primarily automotive articles but also edits articles related to hard liquor and professional wrestling, and past AN/I threads regarding this LTA are Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1064, Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1065, and Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1076. A previous sockpuppet used by this same editor was User:Ssvette918. Sable232 (talk) 03:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

The IP just came off a 1-month block to make edits including this. After I reverted it, the FormerSimpson account was created to make the same edit with the same edit summary. Subsequent edits align with Ninenine99's topic area and editing patterns. Sable232 (talk) 23:35, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Identical editing patterns - mostly automotive articles with a smattering of professional wrestling in the mix. Edits include tampering with vehicle size class and adding nonsensical predecessors/successors and falsifying references to back them up, just as the sockmaster did.
