 * There's also significant overlap on what I think is a hoax article at Cute Little Daring For Fairies. Quest1998 Created the article with a infobox, then later the IP turned up to actually add the text to it.
 * Also look at this series of edits - Master adds show to Rocky mountain PBS article, Mvcg66b3r reverts then the IP shows up and recreates the exact same edit.

 * Also same thing on WGBH-TV, Quest1998 Changes the infobox to PBS Boston and adds Ready Jet Go!, Mvcg66b3 reverts then IP shows up to make the exact same edit as Quest1998 . 192.76.8.81 (talk) 01:34, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Pardon the naivete, but could we be dealing with a child/minor here that doesn't know what he/she is doing, and maybe is imitating grown-up editors at home? However, whether this is a child or not, not sure how it would affect this SPI. Cordially,  History DMZ  ( talk )+( ping )  08:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

 * , all those diffs show is that both the IP and Quest1998 are interested in PBS. That isn't sufficient to prove that they are the same person. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:12, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Master is indeffed for persistent issues and the IP has been blocked for disruptive editing. That's good enough for me. Closing without tags. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:01, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

 * and I have blocked the sockpuppet. However, there is an earlier sockmaster,, already blocked. Would a clerk consider whether to merge the case to Sockpuppet investigations/Quest1998? Also, for the record, IP address 70.16.233.79 has been persistently used by the same editor over a period of about 3 months, and was blocked several times last year, both for disruptive editing and for block evasion by Quest1998. I have blocked the IP address again. JBW (talk) 17:13, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Merged to Quest1998, closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:36, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

 * This is an obvious WP:DUCK and I don't think there's a history of creating more than one account at a time with this guy. The master is as you can see on the tag at User:Danny794986432981, so, could this please be moved to Sockpuppet investigations/Quest1998?--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:12, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
