I've been blocking IPs as block evasion by User:Petejmarsh for a little while, including, for example, 86.169.141.123 and 2A00:23C5:9F83:1301:8CA0:5D1C:6DCA:2055. I've just spotted a few blocked by User:Drmies, eg 86.178.170.36, as socks of User:DiscoveryTeenHD. They geolocate quite precisely to the same place and are editing the same articles, which means Petejmarsh (and User:Petemarsh1999) must be a socks of DiscoveryTeenHD (if Drmies is right). So I'm raising this so we can link them together. The DiscoveryTeenHD master and socks already noted here will be stale for Checkuser, but the behaviour which links the two masters to these two IPs (and other IPs gelocating to the same place) seems enough.

 * Today, User TonelMaket is sockpuppety, But Action (Canadian TV channel) is very here per WP:SOCKPUPPET which about ceased on 1 April 2019 and replaced by Adult Swim (Canada), and change "is a defunct" to "was a" per WP:MOSTENSE this article may for deletion.

I was about to check but I see that is already on the case--this being Saturday afternoon, for extra pay of course--but let me note that my note in the block summary was not on CU grounds, but on the trail of crumbs left behind by the IP I blocked, in the edit summaries and related block logs of other IPs.

 * Yeah, I've been poking around in a few places, but, honestly, it's tough for me to tell what's going on since I have limited experience with these socks. Going through the logs, I found that I have CU-blocked a DiscoveryTeenHD sock puppet in the past, but it's difficult for me to remember what made me do that.  Even worse, it looks like the DTHD sock I found was operating on an open proxy.  I was hoping I could add something, but I'm not sure I can.  It seems like all the DTHD socks have gone stale, and I can't remember anything useful. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:40, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If this can wait until Monday I may be able to dig around a bit on this.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 00:03, 28 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Note that I checked the account in early April as I thought it could be a DiscoveryTeenHD sock, but discounted it as there was no technical overlap. No UA crossover and editing from a different country. That being said, there's definitely socking/disruption going on here and . If the behavioural evidence is solid then that trumps any technical evidence I can contribute.--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Follow-up: Given this contemporaneous SPI wherein the technical evidence is bang on with regard to previous DiscoveryTeenHD socks, I think the accounts named above belong to another master.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:47, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Very different geolocation between the suspected TonelMarket IP sock and the Petejmarsh IPs here (which are continuing regularly but are very easy to spot). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:35, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you think we should have a Clerk carve this entry out under a new SPI (perphaps under Sockpuppet investigations/Petejmarsh) in order to separate the two different sock groups?-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:10, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think that would probably be a good move. I haven't documented all the Petejmarsh IPs, but if it's split I could add them to a new Petejmarsh SPI for the record - it might help people to spot the beans in future. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:13, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Could this open SPI please be split off to Sockpuppet investigations/Petejmarsh? Similar M.O. to DiscoveryTeenHD but completely different geolocation and differing technical data makes it extremely likely this is a different sockmaster.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:25, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Closing as all accounts are blocked and there doesn't appear to be anything left to do. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:48, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
