 * Since this person has created a sockpuppet to continue the Shannon Sixx hoax, I think it would be wise to perform a checkuser search for sleepers to protect Wikipedia from further hoaxing. Binksternet (talk) 16:34, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

As soon as the last batch of socks was blocked, Jzzypearl was created, adding the same old hoax name "Shannon Sixx" into various articles. This account was soon blocked indefinitely by less than five hours after first activity. Ten days later, the account DeeJamieson was registered, creating the hoax biography Shannon Sixxxx with four exes because the versions with two and three exes were salted. This account also created the hoax biography Charles Harrington O'Neal III, supposedly the estranged father of actor Ryan O'Neal, who already has a famous father: Charles O'Neal. This account then created the hoax biography Harry Beckham, supposedly the brother of footballer David Beckham. I'm not asking for checkuser because the connection is so obvious. Any account hoaxing "Shannon Sixx" should be blocked on sight at this point. What we need is an edit filter for that combination. Binksternet (talk) 01:03, 7 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Adding Stephaniemurrin who has also created the hoax articles Harry Beckham and Charles Harrington O'Neal III. Blocked by Bbb23 in July, a week after first activity. Binksternet (talk) 02:44, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Very similar edits on Ryan O'Neal, Griffin O'Neal and Mick Mars. Altering basic biographical details of these artists without sources. Also preoccupation with altering Farrah Fawcett-related BLP details in various articles. . Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 19:07, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Evidence
 * Stephaniemuue on Ryan O'Neal, Stephaniemuue on Ryan O'Neal vs.Dee Dee Nolan on Ryan O'Neal
 * Stephaniemuue on Mick Mars vs.Dee Dee Nolan on Mick Marsl Both edits alter BLP details and add an identical sentence: Shortly afterwards Nikki's younger brother Sebastian Sixx joined as lead guitarist and Mars took over on rhythm guitar.
 * Stephaniemuue on Griffin O'Neal vs.Dee Dee Nolan on Griffin O'Neal Both edits alter the chronology and add an identical sentence about a "cameo appearance": He had a cameo appearance in the box office comedy film The Cannonball Run(with Burt Reynolds and mother Farrah Fawcett)his father Ryan O'Neal was the films producer.

Both /DeeDeeNolan and StephanieLarkin are blocked, as blatantly obvious sockpuppets (DeeDeeNolan blocked by me, and StephanieLarkin by Floquenbeam). Normally, I would favour a CheckUser in case of sleepers, but at present the SPI queue is severely backlogged (over 70 open cases) and so perhaps it is better to forego the luxury of a CheckUser "just in case".

 * I've added Rainbow334. The user is making the same kind of vandalism edits to Griffin O'Neal. See here. Changed O'Neal's mother to Farrah Fawcett and the birth date from 1964 to 1968, like, a confirmed sock of Stephaniemuue, did here.  Out of seventeen edits, this user has edited three articles that Stephaniemuee did.  <b style="color:#000080;">APK</b>  whisper in my ear  06:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

I would call it Possbile. Without any proper diffs it's hard to tell for sure, and with only One edit to Griffin O'Neal i don't really see a connection.In respect for the deleted article though, i cannot say for sure what the Evidence of that suggests as i cannot view it myself.

(Oops.)
