Undid a recent edit to NASCAR Cup Series because of socking. Look at this edit and that edit.  NASCARfan0548  ↗  02:49, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm seeing an IP editor who is passionate about auto racing. I don't see any evidence that they're a sock, let alone specifically a sock of TheriusRooney.  Feel free to file a new report if you can provide pairs of diffs that show they are specifically restoring TheriusRooney's edits. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:32, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Persistent sockpuppet user making edits almost exclusively on car related articles and motorsport, often technical. Diffs: Showed up here restoring reverted content of their latest blocked sock (KarymBorny), persistently restoring content added by the same sock account here, in only their sixth edit on this current account randomly brings up sockpuppetry in their edit summary. In addition to this they practically admitted to being a sockpuppet on their own talk page when questioned here. They are currently active (some of their socks have been active for long periods of time before getting blocked) and I will add more proof as more edits are made but to me it is obvious that this is the same individual.

 * Either there's one heck of a story about how this brand new account found this exact page to restore the edit of a previous sock, or there's socking going on here. The quacking is almost deafening, however given the number of accounts thus far I think a CU would be useful to (1) check for any additional accounts, and (2) refresh the logged data for the future, and therefore; . Please compare to previous accounts (in particular ) and check for any additional accounts. --Jack Frost (talk) 13:11, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * They're very to both of those accounts from a technical perspective; showing up at the same article and restoring previous edits pushes me easily into ✅. Will block and close.  Girth Summit  (blether)  14:22, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Same ISP from Indonesia as 180.242.214.90. Editing same topic areas (motorsport) by adding WP:TOOMUCH detail with a penchant for the word "thus" and an aversion to adding sources. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 14:36, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
