New editor immediately continues unhelpful GA review like Eluike. Admits his user name backwards is "loose on vandal" because our community continually AGFs. Chris Troutman ( talk) 14:36, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

New editor creates account less than 30 hours after most recent socks of Eliuke (including Ladnav no esool) were given indef blocks, posts to WT:GAN the following day hoping to be a co-reviewer at GAN, and despite being told there that they shouldn't be reviewing or co-reviewing as a new Wikipedian (see WP:GAN#Co- Reviewer), reopens same GA review ( Talk:Binary search tree/GA3) that Ladnav no esool had opened and was subsequently deleted. (The socks had also opened an earlier review iteration, Talk:Binary search tree/GA2.)
Note: as I was working on this, having posted to the GAN talk page that I was going to request a check user as notification, they posted to have their review deleted, which has already been done, but I think the check should still be made. Up to you, of course. BlueMoonset ( talk) 16:00, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
Further evidence: both Finnish Idea and a prior Eliuke sockpuppet, Ewdqwdq, have edited Indiana Pacers, and also Talk:Los Angeles Lakers; Ewdqwdq also edited the Lakers' article. BlueMoonset ( talk) 16:15, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Though this editor is already blocked, it is obvious they are a sock of User:Eluike and should be connected to that user's SPI - see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Eluike/Archive, evidence is their editing history, filter log, etc. Shearonink ( talk) 22:16, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Pro-forma. There are WP:BEANS reasons to believe this is a sockpuppet of ThatChemist25. Additionally, the only edits so far are to an article targeted by ThatChemist25. Yamla ( talk) 23:33, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Same pattern of ThatChemist25: performs incomplete GA reviews like Talk:Maurice_Duplessis/GA1 and Talk:Arithmetic/GA1. Both ThatChemist25 and History6042 started a GA review of Arithmetic. In relation to that review ( Talk:Arithmetic/GA1), the pattern is almost identical. The user first creates a GA page by checking all the checkbox without including any review text ( [1]). When I prompted them about this on their talk page ( User_talk:ThatChemist25#GA_review_of_Arithmetic and User_talk:History6042#GA_review_of_Arithmetic), they respond "will do" and add a few minor lines to the review. For the current review, see [2]. The review by ThatChemist25 got deleted when they were exposed as a sockpuppet so I cannot add any diffs but an admin with access to the deleted page should be able to confirm the similarity. Phlsph7 ( talk) 16:54, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
I'll ping @ Yamla: since they were already involved in the previous case with ThatChemist25. Phlsph7 ( talk) 18:07, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
