Suspected sockpuppets



 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

These two editors use the same style in their edit summaries. For example, see (ES1) by YoungDylan, and (ES2) by 134.3.168.40, where the edit summary is "update (complete!) infobox" in the former case, and "updated (complete!) infobox" in the latter case. The types of edits they make are also similar, and often not helpful. Both users have a tendency to make minor unsupported formatting changes on various biographies and career statistics pages in the Tennis WikiProject; for example, see (E1) by YoungDylan, and (E2) by 134.3.168.40. This user has been warned by several different users (including myself) against this type of behavior on YoungDylan's talk page. See for instance: (T1), (T2), and (T3).

The three IPs just added also have the same editing style and edit summaries, as described above. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 17:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

 * None of the IP's have edited since 19 November. We, meaning the clerks, patrolling admins, and checkusers, dropped the ball here in letting this sit so long.  :  You are hereby warned that if this behavior happens again, you will be blocked indefinitely.  Log-in to edit, and do not be disruptive.  Case closed for now, as there's nothing left to do. Courcelles (talk) 01:24, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

The evidence is the same as in the last sockpuppet investigation. The editor has continued to make unsupported stylistic changes to many articles related to tennis, just like they were at the time of the last investigation --- including this 4RR. This editor edited under the first IP for much of the last year before switching to the second IP this month (in April). Sportsfan77777 (talk) 07:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

 * , noticed that ip 92.211.217.213 is editing again since a week. Is that allowed per the terms of the block? --Wolbo (talk) 22:17, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Some characteristic edit summaries lead me to the conclusion that the IP is indeed YoungDylan. However, the master account appears to have been abandoned (no edits in half a year), so I don't think this is really sockpuppetry. I've blocked the IP for a week for disruptive editing. Closing.
