Considerable overlap between the two accounts, similar level of activation at different times. Note a comment on this deletion discussion and this one from the suspected sock as well as the considerable overlap in contributions in articlespace from all the way back to 2007. jps (talk) 19:43, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Note that User:Mecca51 is likely another sock account, but it has been inactive for years. jps (talk) 19:48, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Another user pointed out that User:Isaacnewton7 is also likely a sock account, but there is no activity there since September. jps (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

I hate to go on fishing expeditions, but as we just closed off another sockfarm and had some block evasion IP from a mail server, this edit along with the username choice (word+year) seems a bit too close for comfort as alarm bells going off. The emphasis on "awards for three feature films" seem like a parallel statement that is particularly strange given that the "feature films" in question did not have a large release (compare the IP comment here: .) In general, just too many red flags for me to not report. jps (talk) 20:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌ from a technical standpoint, and while I understand the suspicion, given that the only overlap is the one edit to the same AfD, I don't think we have enough evidence to block. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 18:01, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
