You blocked the master on September 9 for one month. Do you wish to increase the block on the master for the continued socking or do you want this closed with no action?--Bbb23 (talk) 12:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * As the user has now evaded the block twice I think we need to extend the block to indefinite, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 13:47, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I've indeffed and tagged the master. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:52, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Sock: Master: –  General Ization  Talk   15:04, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Based on BilCat's finding, this SPI should probably be merged with Sockpuppet investigations/Itititiitl, as that account was created (only minutes) earlier than this. (Look carefully to note that that master's username is not the same as this sock.)  General Ization  Talk   15:07, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  14:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * - We need to check whether this case and Sockpuppet investigations/Itititiitl should be merged.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:09, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Itititiitl and Tinypunyisland are ✅.
 * , who is older than Itititiitl, is also ✅. I believe it's a behavioral match, although the account wasn't as aggressive in their style. If so, Subtorp should be the master. I have not blocked Subtorp.
 * The following accounts are ✅ and will need to be retagged, along with any others that are part of this case. I did not specifically check these accounts, but they popped up in my check, so I am noting them:
 * --Bbb23 (talk) 21:16, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * - OK, I think I've tagged appropriately. Could an admin clerk please histmerge that other SPI? Also - please block Subtorp, as there is clearly a behavioral similarity. Thanks, GABgab 03:01, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
