Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Same contribution pattern focused on creating redirects for non-existent versions of Windows (see Draft:Windows 8.4 (deletion discussion) by the former vs Windows 8.3 by the latter). Similarity in usernames doesn't help, and 13.234.2FortytwoUser is already known for sockpuppetry. Chaotıċ Enby  (talk · contribs) 08:27, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Similar creation of abusive and grammatically dubious warning templates (e.g. Template:Uw4ul), cf. technically likely sock User:User2802.172. Naming pattern fits previous socks too. Chaotıċ Enby  (talk · contribs) 12:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Both this user and a previous sock, 71211.21User, both have created awfully similar user pages (compare: 1 2). The sockmaster is also known for editing Windows related articles and adding unconstructive changes, as has the suspected sock. Also, it has a similar naming pattern to previous socks, which leads me to think that they are related. If I find any more evidence, I will add it here. thetechie@enwiki :  ~/talk/  $  16:00, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Only two edits so not a lot of information to work with, but I'll note the specific draft they edited was previously edited by another sock. Chaotıċ Enby   (talk · contribs) 16:24, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Exhibits the exact same behaviour as previous accounts, creating badly spelled and useless user warning templates. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:01, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

WP:DUCK. Compare this IP address to the name of the oldest account. Also exhibits the same behaviour as other accounts, messing around with templates and writing about nonsensical, non-existent versions of windows. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 23:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Man, this sockmaster has no creativity. They have effectively doxxed their location. Though I agree,. thetechie@enwiki :  ~/talk/  $  00:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Continues same behavior, creating badly spelled pages that don't need to exist (1), and creating questionable redirects (1 2 3 4 5). In addition, naming is similar to a previous sock ("0xc0REDACTED") and edits the same page other socks have edited. SPI clerks/admins/CUs, can we start an LTA? thetechie@enwiki :  ~/talk/  $  23:53, 2 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I meant ban, though I still think LTA is a good idea.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  00:22, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

 * The examples seem less obvious than the previous cases at first (, while useless, doesn't seem to be badly spelled), but the edits to Draft:Windows Server 2025 show it's very likely the same person indeed. Chaotic Enby   (talk · contribs) 05:45, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

 * The repeated attempts to disrupt this SPI, recorded in the edit filter log, remove any doubt there might otherwise have been that this is another sockpuppet of 28062F033EOF457DC93EEFAABBET2C3. I have blocked the account. JBW (talk) 12:38, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
