TopGun1066 is topic-banned from Troubles articles. Goldielabrador's first edit is to restore TopGun1066's preferred wording. They also fail to leave a space inbetween their post and signature here, just like TopGun1066 does here. FDW777 (talk) 10:03, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

This is laughable. If you applied this to every new editor on this site, then everybody would be suspected of being a sockpuppet! I have never used this site before. Goldielabrador (talk) 10:18, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

, what's laughable is that you think you can get away with blatantly lying. No, not every new editor is treated this way, but those who make obvious POV edits (of poor quality) that simply repeat earlier edits, they should expect to get scrutinized. But POV editing is simply a specific kind of lying, so it's not really surprising. Block, CU-confirmed. Drmies (talk) 12:25, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Similar to previous sockpuppet Goldielabrador who "Tidied up this section as it is irrelevant information", they also delete the murder of Peter McBride claiming to be "Tidying up Regimental History section". FDW777 (talk) 15:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Probably moot now as they have been blocked as a sockpuppet of the similarly named. FDW777 (talk) 16:09, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

 * All the old accounts are stale, so CU won't give me anything on them; the two sqnbloke accounts are ✅ to each other though, and there aren't currently any sleepers that I can see. I'll leave it to someone else to decide whether it's worth performing a behavioural evaluation to link back to the old master.  Girth Summit  (blether)  20:02, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I poked around their edit histories and found enough links to get me to tag the sqn brothers as suspected to TopGun. I left some notes in cuwiki. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:07, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Obvious from username. Also, same POV-pushing on IRA-related articles. Arado Ar 196 (C✙T) 12:29, 31 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, sockpuppeter claimed to be former RAF pilot, which can explain why sock attacked user from Argentina: Arado Ar 196 (C✙T) 12:36, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

I've added Topgun1069, which had been isted by the filer at the now-deleted Sockpuppet investigations/Topgun1067.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:26, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Two sockpuppets vandalizing the same article and using almost the same name recently blocked. See Sockpuppet investigations/TopGun1066. A clear case of WP:DUCK. Darius (talk) 11:50, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Same edit as previously blocked socks: (compare with ). Same style of edit summaries. Similiar edit to another Troubles article. Arado Ar 196 (C✙T) 12:48, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Rikmayalfanclub blocked as WP:NOTHERE as an exclusively edit warring account, following their initial ten unproblematic edits to become autoconfirmed. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:51, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

I think an SPI is moot, the account is worth indef blocking on its own merits anyway. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

New user have used same articles as previous sock to get auto-confirmed right (Ticehurst and Flimwell, compare and, e.g.). Then proceeded to add BLP violation to Souad Faress. While it's not the anti-IRA POV-pushing, typical for past socks, it's still looks a bit like duck. Arado Ar 196 (C✙T) 12:55, 23 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, this and all that new section on Talk:Anthony Bagnall shows that Catsprotection67 has some inside knowledge about Royal Air Force and (un)popularity of some RAF officers. And sockmaster claimed to be former RAF pilot . Arado Ar 196 (C✙T) 13:12, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I found new evidence: blocked socks User:19sqnbloke and User:18sqnbloke also had added BLP violation to the same article: and . Arado Ar 196 (C✙T) 14:33, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

 * User is now CU blocked. Added tag, closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, this account was ✅ to Rikmayallfanclub, who in the previous round was only suspected. So, there's that. Primefac (talk) 14:34, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Edits English village article just like previous sockpuppets Rikmayallfanclub and Catsprotection67 as well as sockmaster TopGun1066. They also partake in TopGun1066's well documented smearing of Irish republicans here at, and as the recent history of that article shows they've been trying similar edits with many IPs (see the summaries with the common phrase "No reversion of properly sourced material"). 90.203.240.37 seems to be a static IP they use sporadically, although there are other more short-term IPs I don't see much point in listing. 85.255.235.213 (talk) 17:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Seems pretty likely this is the same person. The account is already blocked, and the IP hasn't edited in a month. Tagging, let us know if they come back.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

At Sockpuppet investigations/TopGun1066/Archive it was determined it was "pretty likely this is the same person" in relation to IP 90.203.240.37. 90.203.240.37 and 147.161.225.108 are clearly the same editor based on identical edits to Sue Gray (first IP and second IP), Lady A ‎(first IP and second IP) and Scots Guards (first IP and second IP), as well as similar edits to Apollo program (first IP and second IP). Kathleen&#39;s bike (talk) 11:45, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

IP 147.161.225.106 added, same edits at Scots Guards and Michelle O'Neill‎. Kathleen&#39;s bike (talk) 16:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
