On 25 February, RealKJW was blocked for "Copyright violations" having uploaded several images. OfficialHMV showed up on 3 March. While OfficialHMV was blocked because of their promotional username, they had time to perform several, disruptive edits like this and create poorly sourced soap opera articles like Emmerdale Live. They did not request a username change upon their block, and instead created OfficialKJW on 10 March. That account was quickly blocked for their promotional username, and only performed one edit to a similar article edited by OfficialHMV. Finally, SoapFan2017 was created on 11 March and has uploaded at least one copyrighted image, created similar, poorly sourced articles (Who Attacked Ken Barlow?) and made similar disruptive edits like, , (they have performed a few of these unnecessary and incorrect page moves). They have also created empty (or close to) categories such as this which RealKJW also did here.

I wasn't sure about requesting CheckUser as new accounts tend to get created after one is blocked, and the evidence may not be enough, so I understand if it's declined. JuneGloom07   Talk  21:42, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

The name alone is a dead giveaway, but they have edited two similar soap opera pages as the other socks, including Who Attacked Ken?, which was created by SoapFan2017. JuneGloom07   Talk  16:05, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Editing exactly the same articles (Coronation Street and Mrs Brown's Boys) as the previous socks. The username is also similar to a past sock. SoapFan2017, SoapFan2017 and Mrs Brown Fan, OfficialHMV and Mrs Brown Fan. Similar soap opera category creations: SoapFan2017 and Mrs Brown Fan and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Who_Attacked_Ken%3F&action=history Who Attacked Ken? article history showing all of the socks]. MBF has also created yet another poorly sourced (and possibly non-notable) Coronation Street article: Coronation Street: A Life Changing Week (2017). JuneGloom07   Talk  13:28, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Different username this time (although kinda promotional, maybe), but same style of edits and pages edited. SoapFan2017 added a red link to the Template:Hollyoaks here, and IPhone 7 performed the exact same edit today. IPhone 7 (and the other socks) edited the Who Attacked Ken? article that SoapFan2017 created. IPhone 7 added a character to List of Coronation Street characters (2016) that had no sources, as did Realkjw1606 last month. RealKJW appears to be unhappy at the title they have given the A Life Changing Week article they created as Mrs Brown Fan, as both MBF and IPhone 7 have moved it to several new names -.

The quacking is loud with this one. First edit was to the Who Attacked Ken? article, followed by an edit to Who Killed Lucy Beale?, which has previously been edited by the Mrs Brown Fan and SoapFan2017 socks. They also repeated the same edit as previous socks at the Hollyoaks navbox, where they add an article that has yet to be created. JuneGloom07   Talk  00:05, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Like all the socks before, ArticleEditor1 added the same red link ("Who Killed Amy") to Template:Hollyoaks. History, Edit. They have also edited several articles about airlines/airports, similar to the SoapFan2017 sock, who edited a few articles on airports. JuneGloom07   Talk  01:32, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Adding that ArticleEditor1 created Hollyoaks: Trial Week, an article about a whodunnit from a British soap opera, just like SoapFan2017 created Who Attacked Ken?. - JuneGloom07    Talk  01:34, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Performing similar edits to the previous socks at British soap opera articles. MSPVIP123 added a deleted article back to Template:Hollyoaks that was created by the ArticleEditor1 sock, who added it in this edit. They performed a similar edit at this navbox, adding in a redlink to an article that has yet to be created, like previous socks Please Don't Block Me and IPhone 7. They also edited the Who Killed Archie? article, like SoapFan2017 before them. JuneGloom07   Talk  01:23, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Like many of the socks before them, PlaneLover7091 has edited and created articles relating to whodunnits in British soap operas. They recently created Who Killed Emma Barton? (now redirected), similar to the SoapFan2017 sock that created Who Attacked Ken? Both PlaneLover7091 and SoapFan2017  have added large, unsourced sections to the Major Emmerdale storylines article. PlaneLover7091 has also added redlinks to the Hollyoaks navbox, like all the socks before them ArticleEditor1, IPhone 7, etc. The account was created three days after the last sock MSPVIP123 was blocked.

Created 13 days after the last sock was blocked. Similar username and articles edited (mostly British soap operas). First edits were to create a blank userpage and sandbox like MSPVIP123 did here. They then edited the Major Emmerdale storylines article like PlaneLover7091 and SoapFan2017 before them. This has been followed by edits to the Who Attacked Ken? article that the SoapFan2017 sock created. They've added various unsourced additions to the List of awards and nominations received by Coronation Street and List of awards and nominations received by Hollyoaks articles, as edited by the previous socks, including SoapFan2017 & OfficialHMV.
