A person in the Indiana–Kentucky area has been creating a series of throwaway user names to start biography articles and drafts.

Most of the registered users listed above have brought the biography Dolores Rogers out of redirect. Most of them have also brought Caety Sagoian out of redirect.


 * – Lots of edits immediately preceding or following a user listed above. Also this. Sometimes edit warring the same material.

2601:248:C400:FE40:6CF7:ADBD:19D5:3C37 requested the undeletion of Draft:David Korr which was subsequently edited only by Ashley45675. That draft had been written by throwaway account Special:Contributions/Augustina123.

Another old throwaway account was Special:Contributions/Mariya96834 who wrote Draft:Ashley Flannegan. The draft was worked on by Veramack95, Kentucky IP 2601:485:4100:6300:6809:BCAA:714B:13AE who added the "Nintendo people" category, and Ashley45675 who tried to put the draft categories in main space.

Checkuser requested to make certain. Binksternet (talk) 20:59, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Adding Augustina67 because of the connection with Draft:123 Count with Me, created by throwaway username Special:Contributions/Angelika46t, and edited by Special:Contributions/Mariya96834, various Indiana–Kentucky IPs, and Ashley45675.

 * This person hates the "Blame Canada" page, and has nominated it for deletion several times: Veramack956, Augustina67 and 2601:485:4100:6300:B00B:AEE9:8E9F:C20E. Ashley45675 took the song out of some categories, as an alternate to deletion. Binksternet (talk) 17:01, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

blocked all of the socks, pointing to a checkuser trail leading to who was editing a month ago, but likely going a lot further back. Binksternet (talk) 00:16, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't know a ton here, I was just notified by an experienced editor who noted that a few of these accounts were repeatedly making some bad calls on categories and labels in some subjects I was familiar with, and could tell were misguided. Binksternet generally had a good head on their shoulders for identifying this sort of stuff though, and the fact that they all kept trying to restore that relatively obscure voice actress article is extremely suspicious, so I definitely support looking into this further. Somethings going on here. Sergecross73   msg me  15:11, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Sergecross73, you'll see that I placed a few CU blocks; those are confirmed. Older accounts were found through article overlap, but in a lot of cases you won't see that unless you also compare now-deleted edits--a lot of that took place in drafts that are now gone.

 * I was the one who requested a lock against both and  a while back, and they were locked for obvious socking, and inserting racial slurs into both an article and in an edit summary. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:24, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Vera7567, Mariya968 and Vanesa34233 all showed up in the last month, repeating the style of blocked sock.

One giveaway mannerism is that they all tend to cite URLs in their edit summaries without actually placing the cite in the article.

The previous links show that Veramack95, Mariya968 and Vanesa34233 are connected. Vera7567 is connected to Mariya968 because of the exact same edit on Smoke on the Water.

Checkuser requested to connect the recent three accounts to each other, and to hunt for sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 04:00, 3 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Adding Florentia56 who just reverted again on the same material. Binksternet (talk) 04:11, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

At You Know I'm No Good, Vanessa removed an archived link and adds unsourced trivia. The edit is reverted and Mariya968 restores it citing two unreliable sources. The edits are reverted and Florentia returns them again. If the user wants to collaborate constructively, the user has to stop creating multiple accounts to edit-war.
