Editing overlap with previous sock. Interaction checker

Sturg made this edit which I reverted. Dontworry reverted me

Dontworry messes with table colors  just like Sturg.

Dontworry was created days after Sturg was blocked. Both edit on reality tv shows. Both typically edit tables. Both have initial edits creating user page and user talk page.

Originally posted at WP:ANI for a range block.


 * Special:Contributions/2600:6C44:5D00:F72::/64
 * Sockpuppet investigations/Starbucks6789

This range is likely being used by the same user as Starbucks6789. The IP geolocates to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Note Sturgwis12 is a sockpuppet of Starbucks6789 and the SPI archives shows an IP that geolocates from a similar area.

On August 25, I reverted an edit by Sturgis12 and on October 21 an IPv6 from this range undid my revert.

The IP range edits almost exclusively on reality shows, just like the sockmaster.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 01:52, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

 * I came across IP 24.183.100.236 via my watchlist and was going to report them here as well but beat me to it. The behavior of this IP is similar to previous blocked users where they want to revert and in some cases discuss via edit summaries and not discuss changes via the article talk page or their own talk page. I would also recommend semi-protecting affected pages temporarily to detour use if IPs to evade blocks.    Alucard 16  ❯❯❯ chat?    21:24, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

This IP reverted my edits made on 4 Big Brother related articles to versions that were made by IP 24.183.100.236 which was found as a sockpuppet of Starbucks6789. So this smells like WP:DUCK to me.   Alucard 16  ❯❯❯ chat?    04:04, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

New account registred less than 24 hours with a name similar to previous socks. First four edits made outside of userspace were to pages edited by previous confirmed sock which are reality show pages. Pretty much a WP:DUCK situation.   Alucard 16  ❯❯❯ chat?    15:23, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

I am claiming WP:DUCK on these. Both named accounts have been changing "left" to "removed" and vice versa on Bad Girls Club pages. (e.g.,, ). We've seen this behavior with past socks (e.g.,, ).

I know the IP cannot be confirmed to any accounts per privacy rules. I list it because it is from Sturgeon Bay, WI and we've seen similar geolocated IPs with this SPI.

I am requesting CU to confirm the two named accounts to each other and look for sleepers related to them. I assume past confirmed accounts are too stale to connect to these, but I submit the behavior evidence to show their connection to Starbucks6789  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 18:19, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Similar naming pattern to previous socks (e.g., ). All edits are on Bad Girls Club, specifically the cast sections. WP:DUCK

Asking for CU given the history and prolific socking. Please check for sleepers  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 18:27, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Blocking and tagging the remaining unblocked accounts as suspected. Based on the CU results, maybe it should be proven, but it doesn't seem worth sweating the difference.  I'm also claiming hazard duty pay for making me read plot summaries of reality TV shows.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
