So here's a long list of socks; CU confirms them all. They're on a range that's been blanking content (not logged in), adding stupid attack pages about people with stinking breath, and deleting Windows articles. Some of the accounts overlap in their interest (Windows and attack pages, for instance, for Merlot1340), and obviously the names indicate this too. I've already placed a rangeblock, BTW. I'll note that all the accounts are already blocked, some as VOA, some for a CU block ( placed one), but I did not find a link to an SPI; I assume a quick CU was run for a couple of the accounts, and blocks were placed without the paperwork of an SPI. But there was so much, I figured I'd formalize it a bit. Drmies (talk) 00:11, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Just to clarify what said, I blocked Toby167644 for socking. Yamla declined the unblock request confirming socking and then reblocked as a CU block. I then revoked TPA.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:25, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Moved to oldest, (re-) the lot, closing. I'll note that the master is 3X-banned. --Blablubbs (talk) 00:30, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

TheVillas4321 is a sleeper account that was created before TauBetaAlpha490's block to continue editing a few hours after the block. Please check for further sleepers. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:27, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

 * - for sleeper check, per filer's rationale. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

 * The following are all ✅  -- RoySmith (talk) 22:11, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * And some more:  -- RoySmith (talk) 22:16, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * And also -- RoySmith (talk) 22:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * - This is a mess. There's no doubt that this needs to get merged with Sockpuppet investigations/RhinoDino1414 (and I've already filed some notes on cuwiki under that case name).  The question is whether SkeletalDome$ (which would be the new master) is a correct identification or not, and for that I'd like another CU to give this a 2O. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * - After some off-wiki consultation, would a clerk please merge this into Sockpuppet investigations/RhinoDino1414 and re-tag all the blocked accounts here as confirmed to RhinoDino1414. We're going to leave SkeletalDome$ alone for now. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:31, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * RoySmith - ✅. SPI cases merged with RhinoDino1414. I also updated each block to make them blocks and to link to this SPI, and tagged or re-tagged each user to the correct sock master.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   00:55, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
