Thomasscott's main purpose on Wikipedia was to mantain a WP:NOTWEBHOST scoreboard of his fake fantasy Eurovision league on his userpage. Was temporarily blocked for disruptive editing after repeatedly creating WP:A11 articles under obviously bad titles.

MarmaladeSlove1's only purpose here is to work on the hoax article User:MarmaladeSlove1/sandbox/Teddy Eurovision 2020. It uses the same made up entries as Thomas's previous list (his full list is on his deleted userpage), for example the Swede Robin Bengtsson competing for Greenland (which does not compete in Eurovision).

Thomas and Marmalade both both created the A11/A3 Sicily in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Marmalade began editing again as soon as Thomas' 24 hour IP autoblock ran out, but Thomas was still blocked.

Very Ducky, all of their contributions have consisted of using their sandbox to create more fake Eurovision templates with made up scores for the cancelled 2020 Eurovision event. Account created about 3 weeks after their last sock was blocked. Requesting checkuser because in their last SPI it was found that they were using multiple accounts concurently. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:10, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

 * I'd say this is obviously the same person despite the checkuser findings. SpaceOrbitEditor156 also kept his articles under "/sandbox/" titles. Previous socks have also used the number 21 in their user names (MattYates21, Thomasscott211006, Thomasscott2110) – Thjarkur (talk) 10:49, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Despite the CU result, I'm persuaded by various behavioural factors that this is certainly a returning user, and most probably the suggested master. Blocking, tagging, closing. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  17:12, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Very ducky, creating yet more fake Eurovision templates for the cancelled 2020 event under various subpages of their sandbox, the same as the 21iscoming account. Requesting checkuser because there is a non-stale suspected sock in the archives, and this sock puppeteer has used multiple accounts concurrently in the past. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:18, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Compare for example the deleted User:21iscoming/sandbox/Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 and User:Sacredvessel12/sandbox/Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:24, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

 * , as in "like extremely very likely", and solid enough, esp. with the behavioral evidence. I blocked and deleted all that sandbox shit. I did not find anything else, but there is a range or two, large ones, that I simply can't check. Drmies (talk) 17:52, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Same behaviour as usual, almost all this accounts edits have been using their sandbox to create vast amounts of hoax content related to the Eurovision song contest. All this content is stored as subpages of their sandbox, just like the previous accounts. Compare the deleted User:Sacredvessel12/sandbox/Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 to User:Crackthecode22/sandbox/Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 - it's basically the same page. Requesting CU to check for sleepers and to keep the CU trail fresh. 192.76.8.91 (talk) 18:34, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

 * - IP's request seems reasonable. for now, they're quite ducky. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:13, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Obvious from the contributions - every one of their contributions has involved using their sandbox to create a vast amount of hoax content related to the Eurovision song contest. This is all stored in various subpages of their sandbox, just like previous socks, and most of it is fake points tables like User:Hangerchiefx22/sandbox/Austria in Eurovision 2018, which have the exact same format as the pages created by their other accounts. 192.76.8.91 (talk) 00:27, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Obvious WP:DUCK. Another account who's entire contributions have been to construct an elaborate maze of hoax eurovision content under their sandbox. Comparing any of the templates in their userspace to the actual results will show that they have been altered in subtle ways. All these pages are kept as subpages of their sandbox, just like prior socks, with the main sandbox page used as a listing for all the pages. Requesting checkuser because the accounts in the archive are about to go stale and it may be useful to keep a fresh checkuser record. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 10:23, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Same behaviour, the only contributions from this account have been to use their sandbox to create a hoax version of the Eurovision song contest. All pages are stored as subpages of their main sandbox, just like they did previously, and most of these pages are voting result tables with subtly wrong information. 192.76.8.80 (talk) 17:41, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Registered 4 days after the last sock was blocked. If this isn't them, it's still someone clearly WP:NOTHERE... And regardless this seems quite likely them. Note also pages with archived refs that were archived prior to this account's creation, e.g. User:Mojgolube/sandbox/Macedonia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007. as suspected.
