Suspected sockpuppets
Both SCG, GWT, and LWU, have a similar editing style in that they change temporal ranges and taxonomy templates without consensus. Now, here are all the diffs for my evidence: Also, see this interactions analyser, as well as this one.
 * 1. removal of references, same here.
 * 2. Both the 45 and 70 IPs edited alongside SCG on the Dinosauromorpha article (see here)
 * 3. Both SCG and GWT removed the redirect on the Bolosauria article (see here
 * 4.  GWT's edits have been scrutinized before, as can be seen here
 * 5. The link between GWT, LWU, and the 45 IP is their edit summaries; they have a tendency to say "Fixed temporal range based off x" (compare this and this
 * 6. LWU also posted this on 's talkpage, which is kind of sus given that he says But I have a reason why User:45.73.93.182 reverted your edit and then you reverted it again. It's probably because he did the edit, then you reverted it. But you reverted it while he was editing it and taking a few seconds of break (possibly eating some snack or Mac n' cheese, you know). And then immediately while you reverted the edit and screaming "Hooray", he published the edit after finishing his break., which could imply that LWU is the 45 IP.

Note: The CU request only applies to the connection between LWU and GWT, not the IP, which is to be solely evaluated on behavioral evidence. Magnatyrannus (talk &#124; contribs) 02:36, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * - all named accounts are . On behavior, I find it likely that SCG, GWT, and LWA are all the same person, as is the non-stale IP 45.73.93.182. . GeneralNotability (talk) 23:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Has a similar editing pattern as the previous socks, was created 11 days after the initial ban, has the Chinese flag on his userpage (GWT also stated that on his userpage), and also has a tendency to say Fixed temporal range based off x, which is also typical of the previous socks, (see here).

 * Three consecutive edits three days ago. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 13:02, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Same primary focus on changing the "temporal range" parameter on taxoboxes of prehistoric animals as previous socks. There's significant article overlap with previous socks (See ). I think they are deliberately trying to avoid detection, so they're avoiding using edit summaries, which is what gave them away last time. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:08, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

 * CU is inconclusive. The geolocations of this and the older accounts are pretty close together - different countries, but both very close to the border. Aside from that, there aren't any technical similarities - different device, different IPs. .  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:03, 28 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Behavioural investigation leaves little room for doubt. I have blocked and reverted, and I shall tag. JBW (talk) 21:18, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
