Lasange, Beevor, and Speaker are confirmed to AmSam. ( Jpgordon blocked Speaker.) PlasmaBolt matches AmSam in various ways (besides the rather obvious ducking), and I'mgonnagetyou matches PlasmaBolt in the same ways (geolocation, UA) and their reverts are an obvious giveaway.

I'm filing this because AmSam13, despite saying "If I was to get another chance in future, I would certainly avoid using multiple accounts", clearly couldn't wait for more than a day to start socking again, as if it's compulsive. Moreover, it may be that someone recognizes these edits (war, disasters, lesbian athletes--yeah it's a juicy if juvenile mix) and knows of an earlier incarnation. Also pinging Nick-D, for the sake of formality, and Yamla, because they have such a cool name. Drmies ( talk) 00:05, 15 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Added Comelistentothetruth and Gordimalo.

Wrinkly Ceiling's first edit was this. This shows familiarity with Wikipedia editing unusual for a first edit by a genuine new user. The edit reinstates most of these edits by User:AmSam13, who is already blocked as a sockpuppet of Gordimalo, so I assume that we are probably dealing with the same person here.

Beanom was blocked on 11 February on suspicions that they were a sockpuppet. They claimed they had nothing to do with the user LauraWilliamson, who was blocked for being a sockpuppet of Gordimalo. Beanom was unblocked on 17 February and given another chance. Despite this, they did not make any edits for the next couple weeks until today, right after another sockpuppet of Gordimalo, Caretaker John, was blocked. Beanom right after CJ was blocked then cleared their talk page and began making edits that were nothing other than restoring the edits of Caretaker John that were reverted by Drmies. Beanom restored the edits on pages he never edited before, only restoring edits by the blocked sockpuppet Caretaker John.

1 - making their first edit since 17 Feb right after Caretaker John was blocked, clearing the block messages on their talk page

2 - restoring the edits by Caretaker John that were reverted by Drmies

3 - restoring the edits by Caretaker John that were reverted by Drmies on another page

Okay, now the user is just straight up vandalizing articles like here, here and here.

After being detected, this user was apparently disappointed and started just vandalizing the pages. The behavior is also unusual in another aspect: they did not really try to hide the usage of alternative accounts, but rather acted as if they wanted to be detected. Looks like a plot.

I spoke with Drmies about these two suspected puppet accounts, and they in turn banned them both. If you look at Coats Indoors's edit history [1], it starts in March of this year, almost exactly one month before One Way System was banned [2], and the articles, content, and focus of the edits are nearly identical between the two. Another clear correlation is that One Way System began editing on 6 April 2021 and was banned on 30 April 2021 (see link above). If you look at Coats Indoors's edit history, there is a gap in which they make no edits at all between those exact dates. They make edits from 22 March 2021 to 6 April 2021, the day One Way System started making identical edits, and then stop altogether until 1 May 2021, one day after One Way System was banned. That on on top of the obvious connection between the types of edits and articles between the two accounts makes it pretty obvious they are sockpuppets.

I am slightly suspicious about an edit made today ( this one) where the user account reinstated the lesbian content and I predict an IP will remove that later. I may be wrong that this mentioned user is the same person as the master so I was requesting checkuser for using multiple accounts for the wrong reasons.

Largely for record-keeping purposes and potential CU data, since they are already blocked indefinitely. A quick look at RememberYourSPAG's edits from 17:59 to 18:01 on 14 June 2021, followed by a quick look at the edits from confirmed sockpuppet Special:Contributions/Beanom from 19:43 to 19:51 2 March 2021 will show they are either the same person, or doing a very good impression.

On the 19th of July this suspect reverted my edit on Love Island (2015 TV series) without a valid explanation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1034382350). Did the same thing on 2nd of August when I reinstated my edit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1036765056). The user made an explanation on my talk page, but not one I agreed with. I reinstated my own edit as per my own reasoning.

Literally minutes after this, I noticed that Done Us All Good was blocked for being a suspected sockpuppet. That confirmed to me that that user was likely a disruptive user. But almost immediately after, a brand new user account appeared called User:Go outside or go to the hall, which reverted my edit again ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1036770869). A third Wikipedian ( User:DarkGlow) then reverted Go outside or go to the hall's action ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&oldid=1036784368). The suspect made 2 more edits after, which were reverted by a fourth user ( User:ThisIsDanny) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=1036802782&oldid=1036786665).

Surely it can't be a coincidence. It is clear that User:Go outside or go to the hall was created as a sock for User:Done Us All Good minutes after the latter was blocked for another sockpuppet incident (which I cannot seem to find), reverting my edit on that article with the same reasoning.
