I noticed User:Sheerynthequeenbee had censored a quote on the Katya Kinski article yesterday: and realised that the similarly named user User:Sheeryn345 had done the same thing the day before:. Today, User:Sheerynthequeenbee and User:Sheeryn54 have both been actively editing articles about various Australian actors, but mostly the Holly Valance and Olympia Valance articles, adding in unsourced information about nationalities. Sheerynthequeenbee & Sheeryn54 on Holly. Sheerynthequeenbee & Sheeryn54 on Olympia. JuneGloom07 Talk  19:17, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Came across User:Sherynthequeenbee today after they suddenly became active again. They're adding similar info about the citizenship status of various actors as the other accounts. - JuneGloom07 Talk  15:28, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

 * I agree that these are all the same person based on username and area of interest. Of the diffs you provided, only the quote-censoring I would consider abusive use of multiple accounts, since they're using alternate accounts in an edit war. For that reason, I'm going to indef all of the socks, including User:Helenacatlady14 and User:Sheeryn1997. I'll also block the master, probably for 3 days or so, I'll have a look at their contribs then decide how long. Not indef, though, since again there's very little abuse from the socks.

 * All socks, master . I went with 60 hours, to make sure they get the message while still allowing them back, as it does seem that the majority of the user's edits are good - we just need them to make all those edits from a single account. I did also block two additional accounts, once which was logged as being created by the master, one which was logged as being created by one of the socks. Neither one had made any edits, but if we're blocking accounts anyway, makes sense to make sure to block all of them. Closing case. ST47 (talk) 16:36, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

The usernames and subject area (Australian actors) are producing some loud quacks. The accounts have made/making several unsourced edits, including the addition of birth dates and citizenship status, matching the other socks and master:  and. I'm requesting checkuser, as there may be more accounts waiting to become active. JuneGloom07 Talk  02:23, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

 * All, as well as the following based on username and registration dates:
 * Don't think a sleeper check is necessary given the user's consistent naming schema, but I'll leave the case open for a second opinion. ST47 (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

 * - History of Tammin Sursok shows whose final block and TPA revocation was at the time Sheeryn21 (the first account in this pile of socks) was created. Please confirm & check for sleepers.  Cabayi (talk) 19:06, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
