Thestarborn1028 was blocked twice for continuously to wikilink a non-notable cast member of the second season of the Bad Girls Club. TheVodooVixen wikilink the same cast member, a concern of Thestarborn1028 and whose only account is directed to Bad Girls Club-related articles. jona  (talk)   19:51, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Both accounts added the same content to Bad Girls Club (season 4) (Thestarborn1028, TheVodooVixen) Bad Girls Club (season 11) (Thestarborn1028, TheVodooVixen) Bad Girls Club (season 10) (Thestarborn1028, TheVodooVixen), and Bad Girls Club (season 6) (Thestarborn1028, TheVodooVixen). As such, I feel comfortable blocking the account based upon behavioral evidence. Mike V • Talk 20:32, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Recent edit is exactly the same as Starborn's edit. User almost exclusively edits on Bad Girls Club pages like the alleged sockmaster. Also likes changing "following" to "after" and vice versa like the alleged sockmaster ( vs. )  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 18:14, 12 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Interesting that they're unlikely. Oh well. Thank you for looking. I'll keep an eye on their edits.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 02:23, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

 * per the diffs provided above.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:19, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Superwoman23 is technically to be a sock of Thestarborn1028.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  23:04, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Not that needs my confirmation, but my findings were about the same.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:19, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * If despite the technical findings, a clerk is considering blocking based on behavior, bear in mind that Superwoman23 was created and edited before Thestarborn1028.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:23, 12 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Behaviorally there is not a lot to go on, since neither Thestar (and socks) and Superwoman actually talk that much. From the handful of actual comments they've left, they don't have similar writing. There is also the matter of timestamps - if these are the same person, they barely sleep. I think it's more plausible that Superwoman simply has very similar interests to the sockmaster. Someguy1221 (talk) 02:11, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * In the absence of good technical or behavioural evidence, I'm closing this one without taking any action. —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:21, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
