Slaylordaniel13 was blocked for 1 month yesterday by for continuous disruptive edit, unsourced content addition as well as false certifications in the Taylor Swift articles. The user does not heed to any warning and even ignored weekly blocks installed by Acalamari.This account was created after the block and added the same content in the Taylor Swift song articles. Pretty evident socking IMO. — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 12:02, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Quack! The fact that this new account also has the number 13 in the username and has a term pertaining to T-Swift doesn't seem like coincidence, either. Requesting CU based on similar Taylor Swift-related fancruft.  Snuggums ( talk  /  edits ) 16:23, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

. I think there's sufficient evidence to raise a serious suspicion of socking, but with so few edits by the puppet account, and in the absence of a "smoking gun", I prefer to have the relationship confirmed.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:35, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * A connection between the following accounts is.

Same evidence of fabricating and addition of chunks of unsourced statements praising Taylor Swift and glorifying wherever possible. — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 04:47, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Adding the same unsourced content for which its socks were blocked. Also, the prominent appearance of the number 13 at the end and the user name being inspired by Taylor Swift — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 17:45, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

 * - They are using proxies. Tiptoety  talk 19:46, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the behavioral evidence, with the reoccurrence of the number 13 in the username and the same interest in updating numerical data related to Taylor Swift, is sufficient to block the accounts. The fact that they are both using proxies seems to provide a bit of additional credence to the claim. Mike V • Talk 20:41, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Note the same instance of creating and adding false content on Taylor Swift articles, creating non-notable songs and ultimately all the socks are named after the current TS single released, followed by the numeric 13. Goes on reverting when confronted. — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 12:40, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, these socks target the Katy Perry tour article The Prismatic World Tour like here, seeing supposedly Taylor and Katy are enemies. Another evidence. — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 12:43, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Other evidences: Megaswiftie13 added an unsourced recording date, Taylorswiftswift's unsourced addition and look at what Mike V said while tagging the last sock " think the behavioral evidence, with the reoccurrence of the number 13 in the username and the same interest in updating numerical data related to Taylor Swift, is sufficient to block the accounts. The fact that they are both using proxies seems to provide a bit of additional credence to the claim". Can the CU check whether Badblood13 is again using proxys? — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat ] 14:07, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

 * - Please, provide some WP:diffs of edits made by both the sock and the master to illustrate their similarity.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  13:57, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * have provided above. — Indian: BIO  [ <b style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;color:#1C1CF0;">ChitChat</b> ] 14:07, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, if they are using proxies, than CU is of limited use here. Anyway, . I think Badblood13 should be indeffed.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:26, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
