Sockmaster and latter sock have nothing to do except contribute stuff (external links) about Hot Wheels. User himself admits to sockpuppetry on his talk page. Also, the former account serves no purpose other than to add barnstars to the latter sock's talk page. Gparyani (talk) 21:34, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

 * It seems Scoooter is the earliest, but I won't be surprised if there was an older master. Others are in Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Scooooter, all blocked and (re)tagged. Materialscientist (talk) 22:26, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I've moved the case title to Scoooter for now. If something else pops up, we can always make adjustments then. Mike V  •  Talk  02:51, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, the master (based on the userpages) is Scooooter (with four O's) and not Scoooter (with three O's). Also notice the category link. Gparyani (talk) 22:26, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've copy/pasted that typo. Materialscientist (talk) 00:13, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. Everyone agrees apparently that Scooooter is the master, but I believe that Scoooter is indeed the master (the account has no creation date, which, as near as I can make out, occurred in some very old accounts). As it stands, we have procedural confusion with Scoooter and Scooooter tagged as a master. If you have no objection, I'll clean this up, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing here. Cleaning up means correctly tagging all the accounts and deleting the redirect created by (I'm not sure what they mean by "based on the userpages").--Bbb23 (talk) 15:34, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I created that redirect because it appeared from the userpages (i.e. the templates that Materialscientist) that Scooooter was the master. I created that redirect so that the buttons to link to the SPI case would work. But if you change it around, that makes it unnecessary and you can delete it.
 * "Everyone agrees" on what basis? Three-o Scoooter was created on ru.wiki in 2009 (made one edit and gone) and thus appeared as an operational account here, which is why (I guess) this sockmaster couldn't create this account on en.wiki and started with Scooooter. I've unblocked Scoooter. Materialscientist (talk) 21:43, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll let another clerk archive this because I can't follow what's going on. Nor will I delete the redirect even though it's not standard (as far as I know).--Bbb23 (talk) 22:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I've moved this page to Four-o Scooooter. PhilKnight (talk) 18:13, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Editor was formerly User:E-e-bayerlover prior to a WP:CHU request. Socking is self-admitted per in addition to behavioral evidence relating to interest in Hot Wheels,  (in addition to deleted contributions) as was noted in previous investigations. There's nothing to do here with this account, as the it has been globally blocked already for their behavior on commons as well, but wanted to note the account in the investigations for this editor. The extent of socking is extensive here, and I think it may be worthwhile to see if there are any undeclared or sleeper accounts for this editor, so I am requesting checkuser not to connect these two accounts (as it is not necessary), but to see if there are additional accounts we are not aware of.

I've just added User:I have had sock puppets -a. j. for the record. (Commons userpage) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:18, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

It comes down to having the same behaviour as User:Acj1 and User:Scooooter by adding a photo of a clear vagina to the guest page at the Teahouse (The photo in question, is now blacklisted), and also adding their name to the guestbook of their old sock. Lor Talk 03:26, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Probably won't be necessary to do anything, since TheTalker is already indeffed, but it can't hurt to file an SPI anyway. ekips 39 03:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Just wanted to say that there seems to be a bug that blocks don't show on the contribs page if the account has been renamed globally. Just want to clear up for anyone browsing this page that the account is indeed blocked. — Soap — 03:31, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

His contribs are all DUCK. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:56, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've decided not to take a chance, so I've blocked at once. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:58, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Materialscientist, for the quick action. I just checked his globals and found further evidence, and so just requested a global lock from oversight. They may reply asking for a CU. I've linked to this page in the email. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:11, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
