Just completing the paperwork started by the ANI report on CRWG, just in case there are any sleepers. Both socks have been blocked by. Please see also the ANI report, and block notice on CRWG's talkpage. Please see comments by Carole at the ANI report, and Antandrus's rationale for blocking CRWG. Dr.  K.  01:38, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Sir Clever has great overlap with the latest blocked sock and original sockmaster Smart Aleck. The editor interaction analyser shows extensive overlap with CoolRichWiseGuy and Smart Aleck. Multiple edits in the overlapping articles are identical or similar. Usernames are typically cocky and obnoxious, as the master's. . Dr.   K.  02:18, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Very similar to identical edits to blocked sock and sockmaster

 * Copyright violations
 * Both Smart Aleck and Sir Clever have engaged in copyright infringement. Smart Aleck was blocked by Diannaa because of copyvios and Sir Clever has been warned on his talkpage about copyvios and had several edits revdeled.

Similar tendency to add presidential last words in some detail to article, see diff vs. diff (Presidentrapper was found to be a sock of Smart Aleck on May 3). Editor interaction tool surprisingly large for such a new user as Talented Knowledge, also very sophisticated edits for such a new user -- Wehwalt (talk) 05:21, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Clearly is the same user. Edits hip hop articles and articles on former US Presidents. They also add "singer" to a lot of rapper articles, like this account did here. This is something I saw the Presidentrapper account do a lot. Do a CU if needed. StaticVapor message me!   05:17, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Both share an obsession whether a rapper is a singer too, or is only a rapper. You can see examples of that here and here. Both edit similar articles as other socks including older song articles such as Fuckin' Problems. The edits labeling rappers as singers is very WP:DUCK to me.

Comes across as a clear WP:DUCK based on obsession of labeling rappers as singers and vice versa. The other previous accounts would also do this to similar articles StaticVapor message me!   01:48, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Edits both hip hop articles and articles on historical figures including US Presidents. Similar article editing and edit summaries as previous socks. Also edited a draft that was edited by one of the other socks. here StaticVapor message me!   22:26, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

The duck feathers match. Washington Adams Jefferson was the most recent contributor to Draft:A-F-R-O and is blocked as a sock. The two previous contributors to Draft:A-F-R-O are User:Jeffs72 (who only made a profane comment) and User:Frothizzle97, the primary author of the draft, who pops up immediately after Smart Aleck is blocked for copyvio.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Sorry not up to speed on what a sockpuppet is, or duck/feathers, fwiw sorry for the profane comment. I'm just an A-F-R-O fan, not sure what the rest of this is about. peace Jeff Stokes (talk) 05:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffs72 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * is ✅,.
 * Frothizzle97 is stale.
 * Jeffs72 is ❌.
 * Frothizzle97 is A.F.R.O. and has shown no interest in anything but himself. Smart Aleck's socks have shown a wider range of interests. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 04:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
