 * and are ✅ to . No CU comment on the IPs. Per the complaint at ANI I had made a DUCK block of Special:Contributions/2600:6C5D:4500:34E3:0:0:0:0/64, for a month. Maybe someone can point out additional ranges that ought to be blocked. This guy appears to specialize in US elections in the southern states, which suggests where more sock edits could be looked for. Or, we could just wait to see if more violations show up.

 * The accounts are all blocked, now tagged; all IPs that have been reported are currently blocked, either individually or caught in a range block. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  12:59, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Similar username, interest area (recent elections), and communication style.

For example, compare communication style here with that of (previous sock) here -- asking others to add election maps while using improper grammar.

Also similarity in edit summaries, here compares to their usual  or  (just look at this, many similar summaries. While this evidence is circumstantial, the coincidence of it all leads me to believe it's almost certainly the same user.

Requesting CU as the previous SPI shows user can use multiple socks at once. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 22:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

 * And, once again, we check conflict :-). But, I also found .  There's one more account I found that's a technical match, but zero edits, so no action on them yet. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:13, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

 * 1) "WikiFazBear1984" made their first edit in April 2022 but didn't start editing heavily until late-December 2022.
 * 2) WikiFazBear1984 shares many of the same editing interests as Trenton 1214 and the other socks, such as Tennessee, American politicians, and American elections.
 * 3) On their userpage, WikiFazBear1984 writes that he lives nearby Clarksville, Tennessee. Four of the five IP addresses used by Trenton 1214 are located in Clarksville, Tennessee.
 * 4) Finally, WikiFazBear1984 is a nearly identical name to one of the Trenton socks, User:WikiFrazbear. Novemberjazz 04:45, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

 * This is exceedingly ducky, and the evidence is strengthened by the fact that this account was created under the name . CU does not show any other accounts, but is consistent with the CU logs for the master. Blocking, tagging as proven.  Girth Summit  (blether)  12:50, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
