MartyIngham is a new account who showed up doing the same things as Emnetinlurve and previous socks. Checkuser requested to confirm. Binksternet (talk) 08:19, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Moved, retagged the sock, closing. Cabayi (talk) 12:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ + . I checked and blocked Rorylyng a couple of days ago and noticed how much older the account is. Blocked MartyIngham and tagged Rorylyng and MartyIngrham correctly.  Please move case to Rorylyng and adjust the tags on any previously tagged socks.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:30, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You need to retag Emnetinlurve and their "socks".--Bbb23 (talk) 13:17, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * , oops, just did the sock in the SPI, didn't think to look at the cats. Should I redirect Emnet's cats to Rory's as well? Cabayi (talk) 13:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Adjusting the tags on the accounts should take care of the cats, although that may have changed since we've been forced to create cats at SPI. If the cats remain and are empty, you can tag them for deletion, or just let me know, and I'll happily delete them.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Both cats G6'd. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 15:29, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Obvious case, checkuser not needed. Previous socks and IPs were very involved in an edit war at Possum (2018 film). The IP 86.41.107.246 removed a discussion entry 20 days ago, after which two more IPs also removed it, one last week and one today. At issue is a review authored by Eoghan Lyng published by The Digital Fix – this review has been inserted into the article by previous socks as well as the above-listed IPs. The new sock CardinalK9's first edit was to ask about this referencing, using the same style as previous socks. After that, CardinalK9 posted a reference authored by Eoghan Lyng here, continuing the pattern of violations of WP:REFSPAM. Binksternet (talk) 18:29, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

 * the user account, the most recently active IP for a period of 1 week. Other IPs have not edited recently enough to require any action. Closing. ST47 (talk) 00:45, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

All of the above have edit-warred to restore cites to Irish writer Eoghan Lyng, in the same manner as previous accounts and IPs. Checkuser requested to find sleepers, as the account ReginaldRiver should have been caught earlier. Binksternet (talk) 15:15, 28 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Reply to Bbb23... Yes, it looks like I was too rushed in this filing, somehow thinking I was setting "yes" at the CU parameter. Regarding my "should have been caught earlier", it wasn't an accusation. It was an acknowledgement that the most recent investigation (30 March) was filed without CU, and that this turned out to be a bad decision on my part, as a CU at that point would likely have caught the sock.

First, you didn't request a CU. Second, ReginaldRiver was created several days after the last check was run.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:49, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
