 * Suspected sockpuppets

For a while now I have suspected Ozzykins97 of being a sock puppet. Their style and contribs reminded me of a disruptive user. But it just really connected tonight for definite. The strange edit on Doug Carter changing the infobox field value from civil partner to husband is just too unique. I knew who did it before and looking at the edit history the only edit before was my revert of ziggyroscoe. I checked the last edit on ziggyroscoe (banned indef 25 Sep 2014) and Ozzykins97 began editing on 2 Sep 2014. Looking at a trend for both accounts on average the contribs data looks on point. I'd also play a game of checkuser on this one - FYI I haven't been incorrect once to date either. I watch then report. Rain  the 1  00:03, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

User also edits mainly Hollyoaks and other British fictional character articles. Quack, quack.  Rain  the 1  00:03, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

The editor is over-invested in the McQueen family article too. Just like ziggyroscoe and is being rude to the same pool of editors. He also accused another editor of bullying today - - compare with this -  Rain   the 1  23:49, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Editing same type of articles, soap articles such as Hollyoaks, EastEnders and Neighbours:

Making same types of edits on those pages - removing relatives for no reason etc etc.

I've blocked the account as quacking, however this user created another account recently, User:Ozzykins97, I didn't request CheckUser then but I am now to check for any sleepers. 5 albert square (talk) 13:55, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
