Created soon after the last sock was blocked; same focus on Sridevi, Allison Janney, Jodie Foster. Same disruptive and hagiographic styling.  Scr ★ pIron IV 13:49, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Similar article interests: Jodie Foster, Mary Queen of Scots (2018 film), The Silence of the Lambs (film), etc. New account began editing soon after Endocytosis was blocked.

Highly possible that they are both related to, who has notoriously abused multiple accounts and IPs in the past, and has similar editing interests. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 09:49, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * check out this edit by Harry and this edit by Endocytosis on Jodie Foster's page.
 * Harry changed the opening para to: "Cited amongst the best actresses of her generation, she is the recipient of various accolades including two Academy Awards, three British Academy Film Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award and the Cecil B DeMille Award. For her work as a director, Foster has been nominated for two Directors Guild of America Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award."


 * Endocytosis had changed it to: "Regarded as one of the greatest actresses of her generation and revered for her versatility, Foster is known for her portrayals of strong female characters with imbuing intelligence and sex appeal. She has received two Academy Awards, three British Academy Film Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award and the Cecil B DeMille Award. For her work as a director, Foster has been nominated for two Directors Guild of America Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award."


 * Quite similar, aren't they? The new account's very first edit was this hagiographic "best actresses of her generation" business. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:40, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Also pinging and  who have experience in dealing with  in the past. What do you think? Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:57, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

 * - You're going to need to be more specific. Shared interests and timing is circumstantial.  Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:34, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * In that case, it's obvious enough that this is RDX451 to not require CU attention. . Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:30, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Editors share many article interests with RDX451 and their other socks: Sridevi, Chandni, Jodie Foster and List of awards and nominations received by Jodie Foster, Allison Janney and List of awards and nominations received by Allison Janney, Brie Larson and List of awards and nominations received by Brie Larson. After (the most recent tagged editor at Sockpuppet investigations/RDX451/Archive) was blocked, it appears that they've used  (currently blocked for socking, but the block log doesn't mention RDX451), Sridevi 22,  (blocked for vandalism), Vidya Balan1980, Claudiajeancregg2000, and finally RGV1963, all sequentially. They all add mostly hagiographical and unsourced claims into a similar subset of articles, get a few warnings, and then either get blocked or move on to a new account. The two most recent accounts have made the same claim that Brie Larson is married to Elijah Allan-Blitz (diff 1 and diff 2). Woodroar (talk) 14:52, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Not going to bother with CU here - past cases haven't turned up sleepers and all known socks are . However, there is definitely overlap in a particular set of actresses between past socks and this group, all of these socks (and at least one sock from the archive) exclusively edit from mobile, and both past sock Sjw.2019 and several of these socks have a particular way of doing section moves. Based on all of that, I think there is enough behavioral evidence here. . GeneralNotability (talk) 17:58, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

 * For sure, the overlap on cinema-related topics is extensive (and extends to at least the /28 range), but this geolocates to Mauritius, while the IPv6s from the archives are from India. Could well be MEAT and/or UPE, and maybe another admin wants to block them for that, but most probably not actually a sock so closing with no action taken.   -- RoySmith (talk) 16:40, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Same interest in editing singer, film and actor articles. Obsessed with Jodie Foster and Adele. Account became active as soon as the last one was blocked. Ellyse Evans (talk) 3 October 2020 (UTC)
