Master account Rapster101 was created on 3 May, sock account was created on 28 April. Master's second first edit was to create draft DJ JY (artist) via AfC, a variation of an article that has been deleted and salted more than a dozen times as DJ JY, Johnathan Yesson, etc. Less than a week later, sock's account - which had less than 120 lifetime edits by this point - "discovered" the draft in AfC and moved it to mainspace. Sock has made 100 or so unrelated edits which appear to be designed to generate "cover" and disconnect it from the master. Sock's sophisticated understanding of areas like AfC, new page patrolling, etc. have led other editors to directly question it about whether it is a sock or not.

 * Update: KnowledgeChuck was blocked as a sockpuppet of Josh.172 by Bbb23 a couple hours ago. As Rapster101 has also been blocked since this SPI was opened, it can definitely be closed without further investigation of KC, as per Sir Sputnik, below. Chetsford (talk) 05:28, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

 * See Sockpuppet investigations/Yesson20. Regardless of whether KC is anyone's sock, R101 is almost certainly a sock of Yesson20 and this discussion should be taken over there.  --Finngall talk  16:23, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Thanks Primefac - apologies for my sloppy editing. I've corrected the narrative above, however, IIRC only a clerk or admin can edit the header? Chetsford (talk) 15:37, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

 * - Could an admin clerk please merge this into Sockpuppet investigations/Yesson20 as requested above? That being said KnowledgeChuck does not look like Yesson-sock to me. Once merged, please close the case without further action. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:29, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ - note that KnowledgeChuck was subsequently blocked as Sockpuppet investigations/Josh.172. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:20, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Created Draft:DJ JY Rapper and Draft:DJ JY (MC). Edits are too stale for CU, but master is not known for creating sleepers and edits certainly pass the WP:DUCK test. --Finngall talk 06:29, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
