Suspected sockpuppets
This user has used the same pattern several times. Add one nonsense word to their user page and talk page and then harass me over a retired template. They have never edited an article or ATP. Added Pixiecream who was blocked as a sock of Pecangizmo by Zzuuzz last month. Same pattern of one word on UTP and UP and one edit attacking me. Further, there is an obvious pattern in the four usernames.

A CU is not needed for these obvious four accounts. But there is a chance it is related to this farm: that has used a dozen usernames in failed attempts to put articles about himself on WP and to get me sanctioned. But, I was heavily involved in DS/CTOP areas and it could be another person who dislikes me. O3000, Ret. (talk) 00:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I hate to be that guy pointing out the bloody obvious. But wouldn’t be better to just avoid all this nonsense and just REMOVE THE RETIRED TEMPLATE since, ya know, you are not retired.Speakrangle (talk) 23:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing this out, I didn't know how to phrase it. Mseingth2133444  ( talk / contribs ) 23:52, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If the sockmaster suspect is confirmed, autoblock should probably be enabled so they can't evade the block. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mseingth2133444 (talk • contribs)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * All the listed accounts are blocked and checkuser can't confirm whether there's a connection to this group as requested because the socks listed there are from 2011. Closing.-- Ponyo bons mots 21:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I will note that having a retired banner at the top of your page when you are very clearly not retired is misleading to good faith editors looking to communicate with you. -- Ponyo bons mots 21:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
