*The following accounts are all {{confirmed}} to {{noping|Mrbarron}}, and also to many of the socks in the {{noping|Elkridge}} confirmed socks category: {{noping|Mrrevan}}, {{noping|Eatwishyoudie}}, {{noping|Mrespy}}, {{noping|Markhardball}}. Based on what I can see in the CU logs for the 21 October, they are indeed highly likely to that batch of {{noping|Therazzors}} socks, and I endorse the merging of the two cases into one.

*{{Clerk Request}} - I've blocked without tags.

*It appears that there's no pre-existing case for Elkridge - all of the socks were blocked outside of SPI. I'm just going to move this case to Elkridge as it is the oldest of these accounts. For reference, the accounts previously blocked as Elkridge socks are:

Clerk assistance is requested in the case below.

Suspected sockpuppets

First of all, User:Mrbarron who is listed above, is already a confirmed sockpuppet of User:Elkridge, but a diff presented below, suggests that User:Mrbarron/User:Elkridge might be the same individual as User:Therazzors; if indeed the same, the investigations of User:Therazzors and his/her sockpuppets should be moved to the sockpuppet investigations of User:Elkridge, since this account predates the former.

The IPs listed below appear to be the same individual; located in Maple Ridge (British Columbia). Furthermore, they all focus on the article of George Stephanopoulos, and their edits are mostly or exclusively about controversies/criticism concerning the individual. This behavioral/editing pattern, matches perfectly with the one of User:Therazzors (and his/her other socks) who also tried to add similar content in the article. The IP 2001:569:7505:CD00:9180:2119:3CAF:8DC4, is located in Pitt Meadows (British Columbia), about 6 km west of the aforementioned Maple Ridge. This is important, because this IP is currently blocked and associated with a sockpuppet of User:Therazzors.

As for User:Mrrevan, other than adding one more controversy/criticism (diff) concerning George Stephanopoulos, his/her last edit is on the article of Politico (diff), where he/she replaced "Controversies" with "Criticism" as the title of a section. His/her edits reminded me of this diff by 2001:569:538A:D800:60A7:6486:3FF5:3508 (not listed below, but also from Maple Ridge), which added "and criticism" in a section title of George Stephanopoulos; and this diff by 2001:569:538A:D800:F51B:7899:13FC:94A5 (listed below), which added a report by Politico in George Stephanopoulos.

Diffs of User:Therazzors

User:Stephencottenberg (confirmed sockpuppet of User:Therazzors)

  • diff; about Michael Corn
  • diff; about Stephanopoulos and Dee Dee Myers

2001:569:7505:CD00:9180:2119:3CAF:8DC4 (IP from Pitt Meadows; associated with User:Therazzors)

  • diff; about Stephanopoulos and Dee Dee Myers

Diffs of suspected sockpuppets

User:Mrbarron

  • diff; about Michael Corn

2001:569:538A:D800:715B:2F2F:59D9:6447

  • diff; about Michael Corn

2001:569:538A:D800:7DF8:D554:CBFE:428D

  • diff; simply added another reference in support of a controversy

207.81.120.115

  • diff1, diff2; about Stephanopoulos and Dee Dee Myers

Other controversies/criticism, pertaining to different cases:

2001:569:538A:D800:F51B:7899:13FC:94A5

  • diff; about report by Politico

User:Mrrevan

  • diff; about Brian Ross interview

Sockpuppets aside, can an admin also protect the page, because the aforementioned activity is quite disruptive? I believe a WP:BLUELOCK would be the most appropriate for this situation. Demetrios1993 (talk) 10:51, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
