appears to have some sleepers around, they are currently blocked for disruptive editing on Usher (entertainer). was registered on January 17, 2010, and only edited that day. Today, the account basically comes back out of no where and continued on Texasmade2010's edit, which include removing maintenance tags without resolving the issues and adding excessive detail to the littlest things. I created this under Tony254trill, as that account was created first; Texasmade2010 wasn't created until February. I'm requesting CheckUser to weed out any other possible sleepers (and perhaps a sockmaster?). — ξ xplicit  04:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Requested by — ξ xplicit  04:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC) both the accounts have a similar style or writing, and they both tend to add POV material to the articles they edit, typically including material about charts. If a checkuser could please check the link (if it is confirmed then the block on the Texasmade2010 account (and possibly Tony254trill) would need to be upped to indef) and run a sleeper check that would be appreciated.

Khaledfooty seems to be another sock of Tony254trill; same article interests (Usher (entertainer), Raymond vs. Raymond, Usher discography, etc.), same editing pattern and so on. I'm requesting CheckUser for a sweep, as Khaledfooty was created in February 2010, while the CheckUser that got Tony254trill and his socks blocked took place earlier this month, but did not turn up this account. I should also note that it's worth mentioning that this all might be related to blocked user. Aside from the evidence from the relation of Tony254trill (who predominately edited with ) and Khaledfooty, WikiStalk shows that Texasmade2010 and NewOrleans4Life have edited several of the same articles. Not only that, but both accounts make several edits to an article within a short time span, both accounts used the same referencing technique, and the usernames are suspicious as well, when comparing them to past socks (whose first edit was blanking Texasmade2010's userspage after being blocked for sockpuppetry; this one really sticks out when comparing the username to NewOrleans4Life) and. — ξ xplicit  22:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

– Behavioral evidence clearly indicates that Khaledfooty is Tony254trill (after comparing Khaledfooty's contribs with Texasmade2010's contribs. No CU necessary, and I've already blocked and tagged Khaledfooty. –MuZemike 00:18, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Both Rayman95 and Lakers 2010NBAChampions both appear to have the same interest as, a prolific sock of Tony254trill. As with other socks in the past, Rayman95 tends to push his POV on articles, especially Usher (entertainer) and charting information. Lakers 2010NBAChampions makes similar edits to Usher-related articles, while obsessing over Kobe Bryant, just as Texasmade2010. Requesting CheckUser as these sockpuppets seem to come in groups, and a sleeper check could be helpful. — ξ xplicit  21:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

ScottieAngelo's interest in the Usher Raymond article (and individual song articles of Raymond's songs) and the Kobe Bryant article matches that of already established socketpuppets of Tony254trill. Also matching is ScottieAngelo's defense of contested edits to the Kobe Bryant article by pointing out that that similar information appears in the Michael Jordan article; this also fits the pattern of Lakers 2010NBAChampions, an established sockpuppet of Ton254trill.

Self-endorsing for CheckUser attention. Besides the fact that I was wrong in blocking last time, I'm noticing that ScottieAngelo is using edit summaries – something the previous socks have not used at all. –MuZemike 22:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Chrishomingtang
This user's interest in Raymond v. Raymond and Kobe Bryant make me suspect that he/she is a socketpuppet of Tony254trill. This edit by User:ScottieAngelo on Kobe Bryant directly matches this by Vanessa Aragon NY. Also, the creation of this account occurred soon after its previous incarnation was blocked. — Chris! c / t 01:39, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

On User talk:Tony254trill, in an unblock request, user threatens more socking if we don't unblock his account. Figure it may be worthwhile to try and clean out the sock drawer since he claims to have another account. Syrthiss (talk) 17:18, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Similar edits to Tony and his sockpuppets. Edits only Usher pages and most edits are attempts to make the artist seem better (i.e. adding Usher's name to song credits when he didn't write them). Candy o32  - Merry CHRISTmas :)  03:22, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

The user's frequent edits and edit-warring behavior in Kobe Bryant and Raymond v. Raymond match another of Tony254trill's earlier sockpuppets, User:Vanessa Aragon NY. The common use of "Aragon" in the username is also suspicious. A recent edit by this suspected sockpuppet advancing Bryant's jersey sales and overall greatness in the lead section is similar to a reverted POV push by another earlier sockpuppet, User:Lakers 2010NBAChampions. —Bagumba (talk) 01:07, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppet shares same interest with past confirmed puppets in articles of Kobe Bryant, Usher (entertainer), and Raymond v. Raymond. Lil Miss Angelic is edit warring in Kobe Bryant, pushing POV of replacing (among other things) "losing in the 2008 NBA Finals" with "while leading the Lakers to the 2008 NBA Finals." This was even after an edit warring warning was given. There was a previous discussion in the article talk page initiated in August 2010 by, a confirmed sockpuppet of Tony254trill, after edit warring over similar edit. Similar edits by other confirmed sockpuppets include  in July 2011 and   in September 2010.

Other similar trait with previous sockpuppets are long edit summaries compared to ScottieAngelo and Rose Marie Aragon. Username of Lil Miss Angelic follows recent pattern of blocked sockpuppets of Tony254trill using female's names (Rose Marie Aragon, Miss Beautiful Princess, Natalie Bakerfield, Melissa Melody Cali, Lilian Diane Moore, Vanessa Aragon NY). —Bagumba (talk) 20:28, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

As with previous sockpuppets, James edwin engages in tendentious editing and edit warring regarding Kobe Bryant. Similar to the last confirmed sockpuppet at Sockpuppet_investigations/Tony254trill/Archive, James edwin removes mention of Bryant losing in the NBA Finals. Search for removal of " loss in the 2004 NBA Finals " and " losing in the 2008 NBA Finals " at 02:56, 5 January 2013 03:59, 7 January 2013 17:40, 19 January 2013 02:15, 7 February 2013

The user has also been edit warring at Recovery (Eminem album). After two initial edits to add "biggest hits of 2010" and "four million copies in the United States to date", they are repeatedly re-added at 03:14, 7 January 2013 04:29, 7 January 2013 03:14, 7 February 2013. While Recovery (Eminem album) was not previously mentioned in past sockpuppet investigations, sockpuppet User:ScottieAngelo also made common-themed edits regarding sales figures and popularity of the album at as did puppet User:Vanessa Aragon NY at .

I believe that WP:DUCK passes by the Kobe Bryant style of edit warring, and the articles edited overlap with past sockpuppets, including an edit of Usher (entertainer) which was prolific in past reports. Also, as reported last with User:Lil Miss Angelic, James edwin also uses long edit summaries at. Still, CheckUser is advised based on the past number of sockpuppets and the fact none has been reported since November 2011; sleepers might be out there. —Bagumba (talk) 09:59, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
