 * Their first content edit was to a template Luke had edited in the past, but it wasn't to make the same edit, and since then they appear to have only overlapped on one other page . Theirs also some difference in editing style... some ESes, no self-reverts, no reverts of anyone else. That could just be someone evolving, but for now at least I don't see enough to block on. . --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 05:18, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

They've only made 4 edits so far; two of them are similar to edits made by socks in this case, but they could be entirely innocent. Closing without action.

 * You're right that the CU data is an exact match - they are . That said, the edits are from some time apart, and you are right that their editing interests and habits seem very different. I've seen similar cases, where PCs accessible my multiple people are occasionally used by abusers. I'm comfortable with your unblock, if issues appear with that account we can always revisit.

Restored edits from previous sock at, despite having been registered less than a day. Other similar edits along those lines. Also, name is similar to previous socks.

Also, I think there may be more undetected socks, or at least ones that are not attributed to this LTA sock master that have been blocked previously. The socks have made near identical edits and one of those socks was the one that unilaterally moved Ion Television without discussion (a subsequent discussion after the name was restored affirmed consensus to not move), but the new sock here popped up and asked the exact same request with the exact same reasoning, which is what lead me to see the immediate obvious socking when I checked the sock's edit history. Some checkuser investigation to see if the two cases should be merged might be needed. oknazevad (talk) 22:51, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Similar behavior to SPW's other socks; mostly good faith edits. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:19, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Like SPW, this account has been editing TV-related articles, particularly those on stations in Oklahoma. The account had only recently been created. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 15:51, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

 * - As noted in 29 June 2022, "Similar behavior to SPW's other socks; mostly good faith edits." is not enough to justify running CU, or any investigation. Please give us something we can work with. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:29, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Based on my own investigation of the few edits made by the new account, I've blocked and tagged. Bbb23 (talk) 16:27, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Closing per the above. The SandDoctor  Talk 19:21, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Suggested by. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 03:55, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed; I suggested it, but thought that a little more effort would be put into the report. On this basis, closing is the only direction to take.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:55, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

 * -, you've only provided diffs from That Article Editing Guy. Please include diffs of previous socks making similar edits. I'm skeptical as a check was run while this account was active and it did not show up in the check. Spicy (talk) 10:47, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't see how the added diffs are supposed to be similar to the edits from That Article Editing Guy. However, I will reopen this in case someone who is more familiar with this sockmaster has anything to add. Spicy (talk) 11:13, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with both of your points. If I had thought that the behavior of TAE was more clearly similar to the master, I might have blocked when I noticed this at ANI, but after reviewing TAE's edits, I don't think there's even enough evidence to warrant a check. I used EIA to compare TAE's edits to other socks, trying to find article intersection, and although I didn't compare all of them, the only intersection I found was with ShowingGreed at KOKI-TV, and the two user's edits were very different. All TAE did was add and re-add the same image to the article, whereas SG made substantive edits. In addition, a timecard analysis showed that TAE edits at different times from the socks. I'd be inclined to close this without action.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:27, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . Agreed and closing. Spicy (talk) 16:39, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
