Suspected sockpuppets
RobertChristain22 made just one edit, a bit of vandalism at ProPublica. Digicon8 also vandalized that article, preceded a few minutes earlier by IP 156.3.109.108. When the registered user vandalism was corrected, THEREALPAULSTINGER appeared to restore the vandalism.

Checkuser requested to search for more socks, and to make certain about these ones. Binksternet (talk) 05:32, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

 * There exist other accounts on the /24 which are likely different people. The likely accounts could be different people, but have performed similar vandalism so if not run by the same person then multiple people coordinating to vandalise.

 * ( original case name)

Probable block evasion. Both accounts primarily edit The Rutles and make similar edits. The suspected sock has undone reverts of the older account and has reintroduced WP:NFC violations. Adeletron 3030 (talk • edits) 04:24, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

The last bundle of socks was blocked in November 2022: THEREALPAULSTINGER, TheRutlesLunch, BlackLabyrinth, AvantGardeAClue and Rutlesoul. All of these were interested in the Rutles topic, including adding stuff to the unreferenced section "Songs parodied by the Rutles", which was first added back in June 2021 by Grouchyjelly.

In January, I removed the unreferenced section per WP:NOR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Theenglishman124 showed up to restore the section as their first-ever edit, demonstrating that they were already interested in the material. Note that the first-ever edit of Rutlesoul was a restoration of deleted material. TheRutlesLunch referred to a fan-made webpage, and Theenglishman124 referred to a fan-made website.

Checkuser requested to compare Theenglishman124 to the November socks, and search for sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

 * All ✅ except for Grouchyjelly, which is stale. Also:
 * That's all I see at the moment. Blocking etc - I'll leave this open in case anyone wants to look at Grouchyjelly.  Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  14:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * nothing in the logs that might help link Grouchyjelly? The SandDoctor  Talk 14:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * CU logs are useful for accounts that have been checked in the past, but nobody has ever run on check on Gouchyjelly before, so we've got no data for them. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  15:33, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. Thanks ! The SandDoctor  Talk 21:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Grouchyjelly suspected WP:DUCK due to the overlap and restoration of the edit by the later confirmed sock. Closing. The SandDoctor  Talk 21:08, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
