WP:DUCK. Fashionqueen23 introduced unsourced material which was challenged. This started a series of socks reverting the challenge: Note especially the same use of misleading edit summaries by all socks "spelling mistake error", "altered spelling mistake" (twice by two different socks), "clean up", all used to revert edits.

 * Amysummers
 * Justlayton

Addendum: after writing the above I realized the account name sounds familiar, and then I recalled User:FASHIONKING17 who got banned for sockpuppetry on Bros. Sure enough, an edit appears on Bros by another similar name User:KINGSANDQUEENS1 who also edits Vivienne Westwood. This is not as clear cut as the previous, but worth consideration.

All accounts blocked and tagged. I highly recommend extending the protection of Vivienne Westwood to longer than 3 days. This user has a history of disruption. Please see Shutter Shades for example (the IPs are them also). Elockid  ( Talk ) 23:06, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Edit to Vivienne Westwood, one of this user's main targets, used a false edit summary claiming to be reverting a spelling error and removed maintenance templates, similar to previous socks in the recent history of this article. January ( talk ) 16:42, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I decided to run a check since this user has a history of creating more multiple accounts at a time. There doesn't appear to be any other socks on fortunately. Dancing Fairy 0000 is a match. Not editing from the same ISP and ranges. Similar UA and region though. Elockid  ( Talk ) 18:06, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

These accounts are targeting the same two articles as previous socks did, Bros and Vivienne Westwood. Jockeyman1234's only edit is similar to an edit by a previous sock. Irishqueen00000 then edited Bros and Vivienne Westwood in quick succession, six minutes later Wongajascksonsmith edited Westwood with a somewhat misleading edit summary claiming to be correcting spelling mistakes, as previous socks have done.

Ran a check due to history of abuse. Didn't find any sleepers this time. and are ✅ matches to each other. is a match to those two accounts. Although the data is stale, based on the technical evidence I have saved, it's they're all related. But factoring in the other evidence, I would say that they are all related to Saint Arjunkie. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 20:44, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

These IPs has been adding and aggressively edit-warring over unsourced material in the Bros article written in poor English with a WP:PEACOCK tone [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=624284805&oldid=623589646][//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=624424385&oldid=624286658][//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=624564671&oldid=624440797], accusing the editor reverting them of vandalism and referring to other editors as "members". The original account added similar material to the article [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=432852702&oldid=430400648]. The IPs' additions include a disputed claim that their album Push was 7x platinum in the UK, which the original account (see previous diff) and previous socks also added and edit-warred over [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=447110048&oldid=446628015][//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=433948873&oldid=433921542][//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=457288944&oldid=457278793][//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bros&diff=prev&oldid=435814909] (edit summary in last diff also contains an accusation of vandalism).

It is that these two accounts are socks of each other, and  that they are both socks of Saint Artjunkie:

No comment about IP addresses. Suggest considering a very significant cleanup of the article, and possibly long-term semi-protection. Risker (talk) 17:42, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
