Since 2008, Pprince1, followed by various sock accounts, has been trying to create the hoax biography Scott Walterschied. All of the socks show the same behavior: the attempted creation of that hoax biography, or a draft version at Draft:Scott Walterschied. According to the earlier SPI case page at Suspected sock puppets/Pprice1, sock User:Film09 was confirmed as Pprice1, and two others were found to be socks by behavior: User:Laurenwest99 and User:Carolrubensteinesq.

The behavior of Jonreillythr is the same. The first thing he did was to create the draft article of the hoax biography. Following that, he made entries on various talk pages using the same poor English grammar as shown by previous socks, claiming to be an industry insider, and claiming to donate money to Wikipedia.

Chetsford made this ANI report today with more details about the hoax history, especially about offline pumping of the hoax on IMDb and Twitter.

Checkuser is not needed as the behavior confirms everything. At any rate, all the checkuser attempts would be futile because too much time has passed. Binksternet (talk) 02:41, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
