Contributions reminiscent to previous socks (Special:Contributions/Mister_Rogers vs Special:Contributions/Mrs_Sandman, Special:Contributions/Get_Your_Feet_Wet, Special:Contributions/Mrs_McBaker). All accounts focus pretty much exclusively on category maintenance. There's direct intersection as well:      Sro23 (talk) 02:41, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for User:Ferret for pointing this out to me; the edits from this user seem awfully suspicious; they seem to have an overlap; category manipulation of children TV shows, changing "children" to "preschool"; the creation of a category for television shows about babies wizzito &#124; say hello!  02:11, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Saw some interaction here between this user and Cyberfan195 and recent socks, but I'm not overly familiar with this sockmaster. On the flip side, they are mobile tagged edits which doesn't seem typical. -- ferret (talk) 02:14, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * More likely to be User:Son of Zorn. Most of the category-editing socks are virtually indistinguishable unless you know them very well, and even then it's often difficult to distinguish them.  Son of Zorn mass-creates trivial categories about TV shows, mostly cartoons. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:29, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

User is recreating categories that a previous sock created. The names of this account and the past sock both involve dinosaurs. I may block this account as DUCK to stop ongoing disruption.

Recreated pages are:
 * Category:1990s American animated sitcoms
 * Category:2000s American animated sitcoms
 * Category:2010s American animated sitcoms
