These four accounts have all been trying to create an article on David Gaz / Laurence David Gaz. The most recent on Katiebabe added content nearly exactly the same as the previous accounts here The previous accounts deleted content may be seen here  As soon as Rerip was blocked for using multiple. These are Angelinaquins first edits. Not a new editor. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:41, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * From comparing the submissions, 's January 2010 version is nearly completely word-for-word identical with 's April 2010 version and both of those are word-for-word identical with the IMDb article. 's April 2013 version started out with this same text, but with actual references and wiki markup.  Unfortunately, IMDb gives us no sense of history of when their bio was written, so we have no idea who got what from whom, but I'm betting $eleventy billion that Jonwolfer and Dwuller13 represent him or his employer and were trying to post his official bio, then Nick Aang (Rerip) was hired to do it and they sent him the text to use.   doesn't look like a Nickaang sock ... I could be wrong, but he has better English and better command of wiki syntax.  She strikes me as just coincidental. The latest incarnation from  uses some of the original text in the "Early life" section, though the rest seems new.  Also, side note, FYI, though it can't be proven through checkuser evidence because the proven Nickaang socks are stale,  = . --B (talk) 03:03, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

I do not know these people. I just used some of the same sources to write it as your comparison showed. Now I am getting permission error. --Katiebade (talk) 05:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey User:Katiebade you are obviously an experienced editor. If these are not your prior accounts which are? Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 04:04, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Putting this case, until Sockpuppet investigations/Nickaang is resolved.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  10:50, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Please forgive me if I don't know the procedure, but since Rerip is a checkuser-proven sock of Nickaang, couldn't this request just be closed / redirected to the Nickaang request, perhaps with copying the above comments? I'm unclear of what there would be to do after the other is resolved. --B (talk) 22:40, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No need to hurry. When we determinate who is the master, we may move the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:46, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - Sockpuppet investigations/Nickaang was closed with no action. Three out of four accounts listed here are stale, so I'm declining the CU.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:02, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeffing COI meatpuppets and closing. Not merging with Nickaang at this time but it is related.
