IP is making the same reverts to the same articles. For example, compare the following two diffs: [3] vs. [4]. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 00:23, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Added an obvious WP:DUCK, CHROMEPDX2018 24, to the above list. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 02:58, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

@Sir Sputnik: The account was being used to get around an IP block; there may be an earlier master but I'm not sure who it is. It's probably best left under the CHROMEPDX2018 SPI and use that account name as identification as I can't link the accounts to the blocked IP.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:57, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

WP:DUCK - same changes at the same pages. For example, compare this change from the last block-evading IP of the user to this diff from this user. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 03:09, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

@Ivanvector: you may want to see this report I made on another user's investigation of sockpuppetry. I propose merging it with this one, as this may indicate the user in question is related to CHROMEPDX2018. --Bankster (talk) 21:19, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

@Bankster: thanks, yes, that case does appear to be related. Please note that you should comment in the section for "comments by other users", not in this section (I've moved your comment), and that the other case that you filed is malformed (I'll fix it). When filing a case, please use the template on the WP:SPI main page, or use Twinkle if you have it installed. Thanks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:57, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Similar edits on TBS and Turner Classic Movies, trying to continuously disrupt the picture format parameter on the infobox. It's recommended that this ongoing investigation be merged with this one, due to the identical username the user employs. --Bankster (talk) 18:19, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Adding HBO2008 due to recent edits he made on Nicktoons (United States), Nick at Nite and TeenNick. --Bankster (talk) 03:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

WP:DUCK per username and same type of edits to articles. See for example Nick Jr and Science Channel. --Bankster (talk) 06:15, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

@Vanjagenije: the user is known for messing with the "picture format" parameter on infoboxes, which he twists in order to create confusion among users. Also, when editing articles about programming blocks on major networks, the sockmaster adds very specific air timeslots, which are fake. The current sock has made these same edits on Nictoons (United States) and Nick at Nite, which was already done in July by CHROMEPDX2018 24 and by CHROMEPDX on March. --Bankster (talk) 20:13, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

  •  Additional information needed - @Bankster: In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:50, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

User is engaging in the same behavior as previous socks, especially changing the picture_format fields of TV channel infoboxes. In addition, the user is restoring edits very similar to prior socks; see, for example, this vs this; and this vs this. Aoi (青い) (talk) 01:18, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Like prior socks, this user has an obsession with messing with the picture_format parameter of TV channel infoboxes (diffs of current sock: [5], [6], [7]; diffs of most recent sock at SPI: [8], [9], [10]. Mannerisms are also similar to prior socks, including personal attacks with similar grammar: see this edit summary and this comment from current user vs this diff from older sock.

New duck block evasion; all edits are either changing aspect ratios to incorrect values, or nitpicking about children's network start and end times. Nate • (chatter) 23:05, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

24 June 2021

Suspected sockpuppets

Like prior socks, this user displays the same weird obsession over changing the picture_format parameter of the infobox of television stations:

  • Current user: Almost all of the user's contributions, but for example [11], [12]
  • Prior socks: [13], [14], [15]

Arguing in edit summaries/edits over the start-times of network blocks:

Note user name similarity to prior socks in archive (e.g. NickFan2011, Toonamifan58). Aoi (青い) (talk) 03:12, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
