Rowanis12 was blocked by Doug Weller. RowanFraser2004 appears and does the same removal and is subsequently blocked by Doug Weller. Dragon69240 appears days later and does the same removal and is blocked by Doug Weller. Yet again, Dragon25920 appears removes referenced inforamtion, whereby I asked Doug Weller if we should not file an SPI and check for other socks, he agreed. It is clear by the edits made by all four accounts, they are the same person. All have either, changed, totaled, or removed figures located in the Inbox of "battle" articles. Need a checkuser to ensure all the socks are found and blocked. Kansas Bear (talk) 20:41, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Kevin, it was only by accident that I stumbled upon Rowan2904, which only has the Battle of Faughart as a common article with Dragon25920's edits. After that, I was concerned there maybe other socks made, but not yet editing. The Battle of Bannockburn article was just a common edit among most of the socks, except for Rowan2904. --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:46, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Well, according to this, Rowan2904 has edited Battle of Okehazama and Battle of Teba(both edited by Rowanis12). --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:50, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Removed master from the list of socks.
 * Preliminarily . and there is a low chance of sleepers (accounts we don't know about right now) considering the pattern of behavior centers on Battle of Bannockburn, a single article.  Are there special reasons for a CheckUser, or would it be satisfactory to have an admin block the unblocked accounts without running a CheckUser?
 * Pinging for any comments or overruling decisions he may make. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 02:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I EC'd with you. I will keep my comments there for the record, but I'm not modifying your endorse. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 02:39, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
