 * HappenedAnd88 originally discovered by and confirmed here. I reviewed it on unblock, ✅ it, and given the sleeper and the block log, upped the master to a CU block. Filing the paperwork for documentation. All accounts are ., would you mind fixing the notice at the top of this page as this actually is an active SPI now? Thanks fo much for your help here. Closing.

 * Oh, there was another one? Thanks, . I'm actually wondering if there aren't more old ones; I do not believe this is a new user, but I found nothing (not sure that means much, haha). Drmies (talk) 22:10, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree this likely isn't the original master, but we can park the paperwork here until something shakes up. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

SkeletonFan1776 is a recently created account who came to Wikipedia with an interest in mentioning that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn won a Nobel Prize for literature. I reverted on the grounds that the Nobel is awarded to an author, not a work and as such it was inappropriate WP:PEACOCK in the lede of the article about a book (though quite due at the author's bio, a separate page). SkeletonFan1776 seemed quite certain that it was extremely, massively important information and rather than engage in an editwar I took it to talk where I explained to them that while the information would be appropriate on Solzhenitsyn's bio page (and in fact was discussed there 16 times) the information wasn't WP:DUE in the lede as books don't themselves win Nobels. An IP then came along and, concurring with my rationale, reverted SkeletonFan1776's edit. At that point, rather than breaking WP:3RR, a new account came along, with no prior edit history, and without edit summary or discussion, reverted to SkeletonFan's version. 

I'm listing SF1776 as the sock master in this request, and I'm confident they're also Isaiahpeters but a CU could help establish if both are socks of a third account - which considering the SPA nature of the former, and the recentness, I do suspect. Simonm223 (talk) 19:33, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

 * SkeletonFan1776 is . Isaiahpeters probably isn't.  I'll semi-protect the page.  A clerk can do whatever they deem appropriate with Isaiahpeters, but I personally don't see enough evidence to block (at least, not yet).  This case should be merged into Sockpuppet investigations/OnceASpy. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:38, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

This user shares behavioural evidence with, who was blocked by Arbcom as a sock of OnceASpy. This includes edit warring to include "political violence" in BAMN, using insulting edit summaries,, and labeling things as vandalism that clearly aren't. The "88" in the username is also reminiscent of three other blocked OnceASpy socks. – bradv  🍁  20:09, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
