I believe this account to be a sockpuppet of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Northernrailwaysfan, my evidence being that the account exists only to revert the sockpupeteer's edits (such as here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Rail_Class_323&action=history). Furthermore, the account received talk messages from the sockpupeteer just mere minutes after being created (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Redrose57&action=history).

Similar name to two of previous socks. Only edits are to deny that he is such a sock. David Biddulph (talk) 17:34, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, what's in a name? But apart from that, they have merely picked up where NRF's edits left off; visiting Redrose64's talk page, wanting adminship with their fifth edit, complaining about NRF's edits being reverted, etc.

Oh, and of course there's also User:Westmidlandsrailwayfan, blocked as a sock of course. —— SN  54129  10:28, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks ; no, I didn't think it necessary to involve our already over-worked and under-paid checkuser either!  ——  SN  54129  10:48, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Blocked without CU as given both the crossover with NRF and the contribution history on Commons this one is obvious. &#8209; Iridescent 10:46, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Redrose99 was hardblocked as the username is too similar to Redrose64. Few days later, these 2 accounts showed up and username suggests that the accounts are operated by the same person. Minorax (talk) 16:21, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * ugh, should've checked before filing. Users are blocked. Sorry. Minorax (talk) 16:22, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Redrose99 was reported to SRG (diff). They said that Northernrailwaysfan is their "old account" on their Meta UP (deleted). Also I blocked them on MediaWiki.org. &mdash; Hasley @enwiki 17:23, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Redrose99 is definitely Northernrailwaysfan, the behaviour is too similar to be anything else. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 11:24, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

 * I blocked as obvious ducks, but I had also asked would take a look. 81.159.1.169 is related. -- ferret (talk) 16:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Note has blocked on meta as LTA. -- ferret (talk) 16:39, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * should this be moved to another case? It looks like you already ran a check. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:11, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ to Northernrailwaysfan so a clerk will need to move this case.


 * Case moved from Redrose99 to Northernrailwaysfan —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:22, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Similar username, and mentioned on their userpage "I am not a sockpuppet of a blocked or a banned user on this wiki (for example:Northernrailwaysfan), I am just here to look at rail articles." Hence. Ashley yoursmile!  17:24, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
