Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Eblackadder3 has recently been using the IP range Special:Contributions/2601:1C2:4100:EC0:0:0:0:0/64 along with the username Ladypeasop. Previous IPs that have been blocked in this case include Special:Contributions/97.120.192.42 and Special:Contributions/97.120.132.77, both blocked for nearly three years as the range Special:Contributions/97.120.0.0/16. Another associated IP is Special:Contributions/73.25.62.240, blocked for three years. All of these IPs geolocate to southern Washington state, the area of Vancouver, Washington. The new range of IPs has the exact same location, and uses the same pattern of editing on the same types of articles. The user Pmc1267 appears to be blocked for the same reasons, working the same articles. Another similar range, Special:Contributions/2601:1C2:4F01:9FDD:0:0:0:0/64, was used from Sep 2017 to Feb 2019.

Ladypeasop continued the edit war of 73.25.62.240 here:[1][2]

LordMcAdder and Baldrick96 were blocked with a note about block evasion, without specifying the puppetmaster. The style is the same, as is the area of interest.

Checkuser requested to make certain, and to flush out any sleepers.

The intersection of unusual article interests is a fingerprint of Eblackadder3. Articles of common interest for these socks include the following:

Many more examples can be brought here. The two-dollar bill article is the one that got Eblackadder3 blocked, and he keeps returning to it with IPs and socks. Ladypeasop's first-ever edit was to that article.[22] Binksternet (talk) 08:27, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments[edit]

  •  Clerk declined - Ladypeasoup is the only non-stale account and CU won't link IP's to registered users.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation Sro23 (talk) 02:09, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was directed here from a talk page message. As the original admin who blocked Eblackadder3, I think this one's pretty obvious. Blocked/tagged where relevant, including the /64 range. Graham87 06:14, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Graham87 has already done everything that needs doing, so closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    BTW, for those of you not up on BBC sitcoms, Baldrick was a character from Blackadder. Lady Peasop was (apparently, I had to google it) from Batman. Unclear how that ties into the Blackadder theme. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:10, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
