Creation and overlapping edits on articles like Donovan Shavis, Donovan S Shavis, Donovan Sebastian Shavis, Vage Shavis, Miranda Allison, Sheher Gondon. Article stypically contain a short text about someone who was "chairman of DPS Networks" and "host of the DPS Comedy Awards from 2008 to 2015" (an example can be seen here on Wikia) plus an infobox describing a teenage rapper.

I just added User:Hi there is anything I can Bot, whose name contains the bot suffix and has been creating similarly nonsense pages. Sro23 (talk) 01:21, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

These are all loudly-quacking DUCKs. Most were already blocked as NOTHERE; I have blocked the rest and tagged them all. Moveyoufeel had already been blocked as a sock of For2021: I suggest that WP:Sockpuppet investigations/For2021 can now be deleted as covered by this one.

There is no need for Checkuser to establish that these are socks, but in view of the accelerating rate of activity (one new sock in April, two in June, six so far in July) I wonder whether a rangeblock might be possible. JohnCD (talk) 10:36, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Both users created user pages in a similar manner that has done with other socks in the past, also has included the phrase "shavis" in Donovanshavisbotbot. Both accounts include "bot" which he/she has also used in the past for socks. Would appreciate a check for sleepers too. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 01:29, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

New account created 02:58, 18 September 2016. First edit was to barnstar who been the blocking admin of the previous Tshavis sock, User:TristanSudario8346; whose second edit was to barnstar that sock. (Note that one of the first actions of the previous sock was to barnstar, who had previously reported others from the same sfarm.) Also, trademark redundant sandbox created (cf. , etc.) Muffled  Pocketed  05:51, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

I first believed TristanSudario8346 to be a Tshavis sock because the user was creating similar nonsense pages, but later changed my mind because the account was acting a little differently. Either way, it's clear that Dog8923 is a sock of someone and needs to be blocked. Sro23 (talk) 16:34, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
