The sockmaster was edit warring on the page New Zealand Wide Pro Wrestling and was reported to 3RR here. Three edits that the sockmaster made were replicated edits here, here and here. The sockmaster hasn't edited since this unrelated edit and yet we get these two replicated edits from the sock giving similar excuses in the edit summary here and here. It should be noted that an admin that observed the 3RR report asked the sockmaster if the previous reversions would continue and there was no answer. See here. I believe WP:DUCK applies and the sockmaster should get the block the admin warned of per 3RR, this time for the SPI violation. Addicted4517 (talk) 08:36, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

 * There's enough overlap that I'd consider it possible that Socks 01 and the IP are the same based on overlap in interests. However, while it's an edit war, it's not a 3RR violation, since the change took place about a week later. I'm going to drop a uw-login on Socks01's userpage and close without further action.
