Intersection is four articles,, , and most pertinently. Toadforthe7's edits to the latter resulted in their indefinite block. Their problematic edits were relating to three pieces of unreferenced information they kept adding/changing; a claimed date of birth of 20 December 1937, a claimed birthplace of Gravesend, Kent, England, and a claimed nationality of British. See for example this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this.

ZenoTheIonian has added the same information in their edits to the article. In their first edit they add an unreferenced birth date of 20 December 1937, birthplace of London, United Kingdom (while saying in the edit summary he was born in Gravesend, London), and a nationality of British. In their second edit they amend the birthplace to "Gravesend, Kent (outside London)", without a reference.

Given they are adding the exact same unreferenced information (the birthplace in particular, Toadforthe7 conceded that "his birthplace in Kent cannot be cited, therefore (while the absolute truth), I will leave it as County Donegal), and have edited some other similar articles, they would appear to be the same editor.

 * The intersection between ZenoTheIonian and sockpuppet CambysesMoon is very revealing, 12 rather obscure articles, and similarly ZenoTheIonian and sockpuppet Nikephoros1 is 16 rather obscure articles. FDW777 (talk) 13:52, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Requesting CU per existence of recent non-stale socks in Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Toadforthe7 and this request by the filer. I think FDW777 shows reasonable suspicion here.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 13:41, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Largely the same as detailed at Sockpuppet investigations/Toadforthe7/Archive, with the exception of being narrowly focussed on the Paddy McNally article. Peter.mcnally uploaded various copyright violating images of Paddy McNally to Commons, just like previous sockpuppet did. Looking back through the history of the article there have been another attempt to use an account names McNally with making the same claims of McNally being born on 20th December 1937 in Gravesend Kent, just like the other sockpuppets do. That account name would also bring used a few months later under suspicion, and later still we have  trying to make the same edits. Assuming these are all the same person, which isn't unreasonable, we're looking at long-term disruption on this article. FDW777 (talk) 20:35, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Two articles edited so far, firstly adding a date of birth at Paddy McNally which is probably the same edit as all previous sockpuppets. Other edits are to Donald Cameron of Lochiel, previously edited by the master account and sockpuppets ZenoTheIonian and Empolo. FDW777 (talk) 15:19, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
