Significant overlap in editing at Menopause and U.S. history of alcohol minimum purchase age by state. Compare edit summaries of and, especially the same spelling errors. clpo13(talk) 22:07, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, Unkownzero reverts an IP user at Middle age and Betaman12 warns the user. clpo13(talk) 22:10, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

And tag-team editing at the menopause article where Betaman12 restores text added by Unownzero. clpo13(talk) 22:13, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

first off how is the [] even a reason his/her last edit was a hour before mine and I deleted the ref because there was no point to it I did not look at the view history look at any wiki article and you will see edits a hour apart and spelling errors are not evidence of sock some people do not spell correct on internet the middle age part I just created a account and for the first thing was give a warring to the ip and the reason why was not to defend  unknownzero the reason was beacsue that the ref said differently [] the changes he made was wrong for example one thing he put was The Collins English Dictionary, list it between the ages of 30 and 60. which is wrong http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/middle-age so I aksed the ip not to do that again since the person who reverted did not

this is not meta if anything I think cpo13 is on [] jytdog when he reveted 3rd time he/she said they were gong to fill out spi and now a little while later 5 min cpo13 did that and even reverted the edits on menopause page [] then 25 min later jytdog followed up on a spi himself or herself

every thing I said above with cpo13 applies to here to the only other thing I will add is that I think they are met puppets. The two accounts were started on the same day and if you open their contribs side by side, their edits track together almost exactly (one account edited a couple of articles the other did not). This is either SOCK or MEAT, and it is blatant. They are currently jointly edit warring bad content into Menopause. Examples:
 * first edit by Unknownzero was reverting an IP address's change to an article
 * first edit by Betaman12 was leaving a warning message at the IP's address, about that change
 * history of drinking age article, where you series of edits by one directly followed by the other
 * history of Menopause article where you can see them tag-teaming to retain poor content. Jytdog (talk) 22:32, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Article in question is Ages of consent in the United States The "Yo uheman221q2w3e4r5t" account was just created, same as Jujujujuj56 was, which was previously identified and "sock blocked" as resolution after "Jujujujuj56" had filed an "edit warring" complaint over the same edit 2-3 days ago.

I see the request to block the "third account". If this is a reference to, that's already blocked as a sockpuppet of. I am not clear what additional evidence would be needed to demonstrate is a sockpuppet, aside from similar behavior to a previously-identified sockpuppet, e.g. a newly-created account which is being used to achieve the same purpose.

Several new, SPA making the same edits to the same articles. Johnatanjoster and Studmen reinstated blocked sock User:Yo uheman221q2w3e4r5t's edit on Ages of consent in the United States. Hotaka222, Cattywoman, and Kinggoblin all display WP:OWN on Midlife crisis, just like socks User:Oojoj and User:Kubo567. Dopplebeast's threat to the editor who was in dispute with the three previous suspected socks matches the threats left by socks on User talk:Fabrickator. Sro23 (talk) 01:48, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

 * I've blocked and tagged this account on the basis of WP:DUCK (the edits to the userspace also indicate gaming the system to get around the semi-protection). The one thing that strikes me is that this was a sleeper account was created in April, yet slipped through several CheckUser checks throughout the history of this SPI. If it would be helpful, could a CheckUser please check if there are any other sleeper accounts related to this one? Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 20:24, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

 * The rate at which he creates these accounts and uses proxies is concerning so I'm wondering if we should just go the LTA route (as I've been doing) and reporting at AIV.
