Evidence submitted by RG (talk) 03:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Similarity in edits and opinions. Byrd claims "Kashmir" isn't metal, as does Y2k. Y2k claims "When the Levee Breaks" isn't metal so does Byrd. Both have edited U2's page,. Also this "new user" in Byrd seems to know a lot about warning policies, which I doubt any new user would. RG (talk) 03:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Comments by accused parties
See Defending yourself against claims. I find it hilarious that the so-called editing "trends" offered as evidence are for the most part reverting dubious edits in the first place. Frankly, a lot of RG's edits are adding dubious genres to music article infoboxes, so you have to believe more than one person is allowed to object. Is it really that hard to imagine that multiple people could disagree that certain songs by Led Zeppelin aren't "heavy metal", or does sharing that same opinion automatically mean you share identities? Also, the single edit to the U2 article by "Free as a Byrd" was reverting some poor language that had been added to the U2 article - something that I or anyone involved with U2 articles would have done. I find this investigation nomination to be trivial, childish, and pointless - I upset this user (as evidenced here - Talk:Kashmir_(song)) by arguing that the song "Kashmir" was not heavy metal, and by removing said genre from the song's infobox.

Per claim from User:Carnotaurus044 on my talk. The suspected sock's edits started within past 24 hrs, seem to be distinct from the suspected sockmaster. Dl2000 (talk) 02:10, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

I would take anything Carnotaurus says with a grain of salt. He doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. He's making that accusation because he thinks if more than one person is diaagreeing with him, naturally they must be the same person.

Genre warrior. Two accounts and IP are all trying to make the same genre changes. Aside from Y2kcrazyjoker4, none has edited prior and suddenly appear simultaneously to attempt the same identical genre-related edits. If Y2kcrazyjoker4 is indeed related, that is likely the sockmaster. SolarFlash (talk) 22:12, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

 * All I did was revert continued attempts to add uncited information to the article Tame Impala. I don't see how that warrants an investigation... Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk &bull; contributions) 15:12, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

 * I don't think the two accounts are related, given that the only similarity is editing the Tame Impala article. Marking for closure. –Darkwind (talk) 09:01, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
