E4R was blocked in mid august for WP:UPE. They've since made several unsuccessful appeals. Newwikiexpress was created on September 17th and has a note on their user page that they have an alternate account but have not said what account when asked. An IP editor added a note to E4R's talk page that Newwikiexpress (NWE) was an alternate account (a month after they were blocked). There's a reasonable amount of overlap between the two accounts [1], but the extensive editing both accounts have on Draft:Crime Alert is highly unlikely to be unconnected accounts. The first edit NWE made to that draft [2] was to restore a massive cast list that had been removed after E4R was blocked. Ravensfire ( talk) 14:53, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
This case is being reviewed by MarioGom as part of the clerk training process. Please allow him to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on his talk page or on this page if more appropriate.
:P
I blocked Newwikiexpress before your endorse
MarioGom as I felt that the behavioural evidence presented was strong enough on its own (large overlap across rather obscure subjects in 116 edits, the restoration of the draft content, and (least probative) the use of the advanced mobile editor). Good point re: sleepers!

11:24, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Significant overlap in focus, with Jha09 picking up where Entertainment4Reality had left off across a fair number of articles. Not sure if this is recent enough for a CU to find anything, but figured I'd list it in case they can. signed, Rosguill talk 22:13, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
It's always suspicious to me when a new user begins editing almost immediately in draftspace. There is overlap between this user, the puppeteer, and two other socks, see this. It was the new potential sock's edit on Nikki Aur Jadui Bubble which really made me suspicious. Onel5969 TT me 09:25, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Account created on February 3, 2023, a few days after SOCK King1253 was blocked. Went directly to the same target pages as you can see from the user interaction tools. CNMall41 ( talk) 21:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Created after prior sock was blocked. Early edits are to add excessive details to plot of Yeh Hai Chahatein which was also done by prior socks - see history of that article. Ravensfire ( talk) 15:25, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Adding user ElectroPrime who did a lot of the lifting on the draft prior to it being taken over by GoldenHills. Note the similar style username of two words, both starting in caps.-- CNMall41 ( talk) 23:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
121Fam created on May 10, 2024, a few days after the most recent block of socks from this farm. Only 16 edits to a total of three pages that include Yeh Hai Chahatein which was heavily edited by sock GoldenHills, Mann Sundar which was edited by sock JudeinLenovo, Draft:Deewani which was edited by both JudeinLenovo and GoldenHills.

Recreated Sun Neo which has been created several times by prior E4R socks. Ravensfire ( talk) 13:35, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Adding Faze fire1, created December 2022, made the same unsourced edit to Sun Neo [6] as Andro789 [7], [8]. Wikishovel ( talk) 13:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Adding Bakelmuhammad0, autocreated 22 May. Recreated unsourced B4U Plus (now at draft), and in the middle of their additions about B4U Plus to B4U (network), 121Fam (see 17 May SPI above) added B4U Plus to the channel list [9]. Also worth noting that B4U Plus was created twice in 2017 by User:Rajesultanpur, blocked sockpuppet of User:Prashantpking. Wikishovel ( talk) 11:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I firmly beleive there's some fairly extensive WP:LOUTSOCK happening from E4R in the range above. Looking at several drafts submitted or heavily edited by the last sock, JudeInLenovo, there's frequent activity from either JIL, 2409:4071 or 49.43.40/22. See [12] and [13] There's a clear smoking gun where a 2409:4071 edit created a previously deleted draft with a G5 tag for E4R sock. [14] Most of the LOUT editing is from the IPV6 range and only recently the IPV4 showed activity. I'm asking for a range block at least on the IPV6, but wouldn't mind teh V4 as well to see if E4R can be slowed a bit. Thanks.

Fairly high overlap with previous sock JudeinLenovo [15], but it's the focus on Deewani and especially Dhamaal (TV channel) which has mainly been edited by E4R socks in the past. Ravensfire ( talk) 16:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
