Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

The first three seem pretty self-explanatory... the fourth account, 'Jermry', has recreated drafts originally created by the sockmaster including Draft:HBO Kids Presents The Bonnie & Ashley and the Pony Unicorn Magical Beast: The Animated Series, Draft:The Mop Show, Draft:Baby Little Dinosaurs in the Jungle Island Tropical, and Draft:HBO Kids Channel, with additional bogus/fake/hoax drafts created as well. Jermry also did an almost exact manual revert on HBO Kids, attempting to restore the same things originally put by other socks listed here. (see here vs. here, or simply this).

Before anyone asks, I'm intentionally not protecting the draft since it's a good honeytrap and it doesn't really hurt things to let sox keep popping up there (whereas, if it's protected, they'll probably move to some similar title). -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 10:38, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Free TYI to be a sockpuppet due to the usual posting shenanigans Jeremiah Caquias' sockpuppets get up to on pages like [12] and [13]. If this isn't a sockpuppet, then they are probably really dedicated to Jeremiah Caquias and want to maintain these hoaxes as if they're real.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Draft:NickRewind Jr. (block) — yet another permeation of a common creation by past socks — was created by 2601:5c9:c201:e390:8182:8c0a:e447:f3d5 (on a "/64" already in the archive). Nearly all of JimmyUi's edits were to replace speedy deletion templates on that draft with a short description, and 75.75.116.250 has only removed the speedy templates altogether. Obviously I am not requesting any public connection between any IPs and accounts, but this may well be quacking. WCQuidditch 01:39, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t see the SPI until now. I’ve blocked a couple and salted the Draft page already. Leaving the rest of them alone so as not to interfere further. ZsinjTalk 01:49, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zsinj: It doesn't look like your protection was implemented (no log entry for it); I deleted the draft again and salted the title. Complex/Rational 02:26, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ComplexRational I'll mention that Draft:NickRewind Jr. has a note by @Tamzin about not salting the page - wonder what's that about? LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 02:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Essentially Wikipedia:Salting is usually a bad idea. It just makes it harder to find LTAs like this, and does nothing to deter them. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:32, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense, thanks for the reminder. ZsinjTalk 02:33, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, didn't see that note until now – it wasn't the same title – nor am I aware of details. Self-reverted for now, happy to discuss this further off-site if necessary. Thanks for the notice. Complex/Rational 02:36, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Creation of a page with less substantial, but otherwise very similar, content as a page created by other socks and deleted as a G3 hoax. I have the same suspicions as Wcquidditch, but 50.205.217.119 is labeled as a school IP, so there's probably greater potential for collateral damage.

The "Vector9" accounts and Zoovx9 have only ever appeared to edit Draft:Smile Kids with TeenNick, which was created by Vector9h. The IP's only edits are to there and the creation of Draft:HBO Kids (TV network), which was recently expanded by Get Op Ninety-One Toad.

Came across the 6th sock when patrolling SPERTable with their Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/1920s Soilder, 1950s Sci-Fi request which nominated themselves as a sock. So I went and dig their contribs, and found Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/A Fantasy Castle linking to the sockmaster when the sockmaster clearly isn't a bot neither does the ROA contains any meaningful rationale which seemingly is copied from another ROA, User:1920s Soilder, 1950s Sci-Fi/Userboxes with plenty of fake details, and also commenting on 7th sock talk page. Following which, I go dig the contribs for the sockmaster, till I find even more socks. All of them are WP:NOTHERE, please assists check if there are any further socks that I didn't discover, block all of them, and also delete the pages created by them.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Users have got a similar name, and Jyiop's only edit/filter hit was to edit in Fyiop's user space and user talk space. They also write in a pretty similar way, and are likely connected. [15] [16] Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 07:05, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Their userpages are of similar styles to recent-ish socks (compare to Fyiop's), and their main contributions have respectively been to Draft:Strawberry Shortcake: The Fairy School and Draft:Postman Pat: A Letter Mailbox — both purportedly preschool shows on the TeenNick cable channel (previous socks have insisted this channel, which is intended for a teenage audience, has a preschool block). As ever, there's probably more accounts out there — I particuarly suspect that many of the now-blocked accounts that have edited the article Corduroy and Me!, about another purported TeenNick children's show, tie in as well (particularly the very-similarly-named Ques1977 (talk · contribs) — and note too that Kues1977 has edited its talk page).

And on further inspection, I found that Wues1977 created Wues1977g, with the summary "Smile Kids Jr. with TeenNick". The quacking on that one is as loud as it gets. WCQuidditch 07:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The usual userpages and interaction with each other, much akin to recent socks, but beyond that, Mighty11z and Shadow24p's additions to the list of children's animated television series of the 2020s are the usual fictitious programs, with Shadow24p's in particular adding three such shows already associated with socks in the archives (and they edited the still-extant Draft:Strawberry Shortcake: The Fairy School, too), and now there's one more: Sonic19z created Draft:Yoy! Smiley Clown Jr. Preschool Kids With TeenNick, which by itself is more of the usual insistence that a teenage-oriented channel has a preschool block. As usual, there's probably more that the contributions alone aren't turning up… WCQuidditch 06:35, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since the initial report, Shadow24p welcomed Antoine11zz, and Sonic19z welcomed Fang17p — both of those two users have similar userpages to the other accounts as well. WCQuidditch 00:05, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
