Editing patterns suggest that User:BRClover2008 is a sock of banned indef-blocked user User:ElboMisery1993; constant unnecessary edits to Billy Ray Cyrus discography, Lady Antebellum and other similar pages. Note that the three other listed socks have already been indef blocked, as their edit histories indicate a similar pattern to the puppeteer.
 * Evidence

One example is the constant and unnecessary addition of dashes to discography tables; see this diff for example. Also, the insistence on having his or her way, and demanding that the tables not be changed back; see here. And finally, the addition of unsourced info regarding upcoming singles; see here.

More evidence: User:ElboMisery1993 and the other socks showed a similar pattern of making unnecessary changes to discography tables as well; see here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.

None of these edits by BRClover2008 truly constitutes vandalism (at least not yet), but given the puppeteer's penchant for starting out with similar semi-legit edits and then spiraling into vandalism, and given the obsession with Billy Ray Cyrus, I believe that BRClover2008 is indeed a sock of ElboMisery1993.

 * More incorrect info in this diff; "Stay With Me (Brass Bed)" was not a #1 on the Radio & Records charts. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 03:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The diffs and the fact that the socks were all created in sequence after the prior one was blocked convince me. He's now blocked. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 10:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
