Both accounts made rapid use of Twinkle (contributions of sockmaster contrib of sock), the sock also immediately reverts any talk page warnings as did the sockmaster. Both accounts also used similar infoboxes, the status updater, and is a British person in his 20s (see this version of the account of the sockmaster).

"AutisticAndrew" is a young account but has already used Twinkle a lot, immediately reverts any criticism and already knows how to pimp up his account with many infoboxes and links. This all is very similar edit behaviour to StarryNightSky11, the blocked sockmaster. Even clearer, both "AutisticAndrew" and "StarryNightSky11" change the infoboxes/ledes of football stadiums to their own liking (removing F.C.), see e.g., and.

I have found a potential useful clue: On the userpages of MisterHarrington's last revision before the tag and the version as of my edit, the top of the user pages thanks users to view them. I have not known of anyone else who has started user pages this way. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 12:30, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * As well as userpage edits I've linked in the above comment which basically changes the number of edits made. That would be a second useful clue. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 12:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * To support Eem dik doun in toene's suspicions, "MisterHarrington" and "AutisticAndrew" both made very similar edits to the Burnley F.C. article - e.g., MH's, , and AA's , . Paul W (talk) 13:13, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

SShreddies is a new account within the past ten days (as I type this), created on July 8. As I type this, the account has 201 edits. I became aware of the user through edits to 2026 FIFA World Cup in which the user was changing grammar from American to British English and the term "soccer" to "football" based on purported "consistency" with prior World Cup articles (see diff 1 and diff 2, the latter after being told it's a MOS:ENGVAR issue). I explained it twice in edit summaries and left a talk page message explaining both the ENGVAR issue and past consensus that international soccer tournaments played in the United States use American English. Around that time, I decided to take a look at the user's contributions and I was struck by the extreme similarity to User:AutisticAndrew, who was recently banned as a sockpuppet of StarryNightSky11 (see archived SPI here). In particular, I notice that SShreddies, a user registered for only nine days, has dropped a ton of talk page messages along the lines of "caution," "notice," etc. when people didn't use edit summaries, which is something AutisticAndrew did constantly within a very short time of registering. AutisticAndrew also engaged in edit wars on international soccer tournament articles, including making some of the same sort of edits SShreddies is making (example: changing singular American English to plural British English). 1995hoo (talk) 21:20, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
