was created May 30, 2017. The first edit was, "See several pages deleted that were created by banned sock puppet captkoons9 that are just as notable as other pages created by that user. would it be possible to re-review some of those?" Fourteen minutes later created Vince Thompson ‎with the edit summary "reviewed and re-submitting page for creation". Zdogg2114 then recreated GameMine and Daniel Starr (businessman).

Captkoons9 had created GameMine, Vince Thompson and Daniel Starr (businessman), which I'd deleted under the perhaps mistaken belief they were G5 able. At anyrate, they'd been tagged WP:CSD.

Captkoons9 was blocked May 28, 2017 "checkuser block" as a sockpuppet of Yobart1.

Yobart1 was blocked May 28, 2017 "checkuser block". Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

. There is also a possibility this is a meat puppet. Blocked, tagged, closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:40, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

ThreeSisters recreated GameMine (see Special:Undelete/GameMine too) and Daniel Starr (businessman) as Daniel Starr (entrepreneur): SmartSE (talk) 15:59, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Tomsellecksdog has edited alongside ThreeSisters and also created Ignited (a book by an author previously promoted) and Jim Jonassen. 16:03, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Surftrip is also suspicious: crossover with the master here last year:  and with ThreeSisters here:. SmartSE (talk) 16:07, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I pinged a clerk at Sockpuppet investigations/Tomsellecksdog, but just wanted to note here as well that there is a parallel case that needs merging. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:22, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Just as a note, I have tagged the following articles for speedy deletion under G5 based on the CU data and behavioral analysis below:
 * Daniel Starr (entrepreneur)
 * GameMine
 * Ignited
 * Joanne Horowitz
 * Jim Jonassen

 * - Please, compare those three to the master and previous confirmed sock. If confirmed, Surftrip is the master (the oldest).  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:22, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * This one is kind of tough because they're changing UAs or devices along with the occasional webhost thrown in for good measure.
 * ThreeSisters and are ✅ to each other and  to the master based on geolocation.
 * Tomsellecksdog is to the master and ThreeSisters based on the UA and geolocations.
 * Surftrip is based on UA, but has only two edits that aren't stale, so I don't have a lot to go on.

Technically, I can't do better than that. However, since there are webhosts involved and some bouncing around, I think this is either the same person or a meat-up. Katietalk 13:24, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged three confirmed and posililikely socks. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:26, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Obvious sockpuppet: only edit has been to contest the G5 on GameMine, an article created by ThreeSisters. , would you mind running a check for any other accounts that might have been recently created as sleepers? TonyBallioni (talk) 05:06, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I just added to this report for creating the pages above that were G5ed today based on this report by . Based on the previous CU finding, I'm not requesting it for this one: it appears to be a duck case of meatpuppetry for both of these users. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:51, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

 * – same general geolocation but the UAs don't work, so it's more likely meat than sock. No sleepers. Katietalk 12:11, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * This is so DUCKish that I have blocked them and G5'd the articles. SmartSE (talk) 18:38, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Is Gnawndare worth blocking? Thanks, GABgab 15:38, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

UPE/Meat is likely. A COIN posting may be good for this case. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  01:58, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * - Given the CU information, please block Therookerygroup and Lee.xta indefinitely. AndrMosss and Chantellemcdonald are strong behavioural matches to previous socks. Please block them also. The technical connection to Noam25 and Ashleyvance appears to be a coincidence. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:09, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

 * - Please compare these accounts to each other and past socks, and check for sleepers. Thanks, GABgab 15:21, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The two accounts are to each other and ❌ (different continents and different other technical data) to the master.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:42, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Since the article content is so similar to past versions, I'm calling meatpuppetry., draft deleted. GABgab 15:49, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
