Robloxsid has a number of known socks; these are quacking like a duck. Very similar names to previous socks User:Starlightzone2 and User:Fakestarlightzone2, same editing interests (NJ Transit and diesel locomotives), same poor grammar and use of exclamation marks. 3C is active within the last day; 2A is inactive but I assume it should be blocked to prevent reuse.

Because 3C was created in April but not used until now (and another sock was created and blocked in August), I think it would be a good idea to check for sleepers, hence my checkuser request. (I'm not quite familiar with the CU system, so hopefully that's correct).

Pinging who has dealt with a number of these socks before. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:47, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

 * - There's no CU evidence available here since all the accounts involved except Starlightzone3C are . However, given the usernames and interest in NJ Transit. Please block the new socks indefinitely. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:06, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * per behavioural evidence. Also, sure that Checkuser is not feasible to flush out sleepers when only one account is recent enough? The account creation dates certainly indicate sleeper tactics. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:09, 26 November 2017 (UTC)


 * A check of registration dates reveals Robloxsid is actually the forth account this editor used. I have moved the case page accordingly. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:33, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * - I done goofed. I misread one of the sock names as the name of the master account. Since I can no longer do this myself, could an admin clerk please undo the page move? Sorry. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:36, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I've moved it back. Not sure if any more edits are needed. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:53, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * - Given the timing, a check for sleepers is probably a good idea. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

This IP, which began editing in September, makes identical obnoxious image change edits, such as this, which is exceedingly similar to previous edits by known socks such as User:Guestremakes or user:Bloblobloblobloxy. In fact, the latter made the exact same edit, except put the LIRR logo instead of the NYC Subawy one. WP:DUCK couldn't be stronger. oknazevad (talk) 21:12, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
