First off, similarity in name. Both accounts have a penchant for creating articles about non-notable BeeGees songs and other non-notable artists/songs. Master account went quiet about 2 weeks before the sock started creating similar articles. Master account is now back !voting on the related AFD's. ES &L 17:24, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

IP 121.54.13.51 in the Philippines has been connected to PogiJmon, stated explicitly in October 2011 by Arjayay here. As seen in this intertwined contribution tool, IP 121.54.13.51 and Rhenier Brizuela were interested in the same articles, primarily ones about the Bee Gees musical group.
IP 121.54.13.51 had been editing Bee Gees articles through 5 July 2014, then the Rhenier Brizuela was started the next day. On 7 July, Rhenier Brizuela was editing the Bee Gees biography when IP 121.54.13.51 dropped in with one edit, having the appearance of Rhenier Brizuela accidentally getting logged out. [1] The same thing happened the next day but then apparently Rhenier Brizuela mastered the problem of staying logged in.
Right before the Rhenier Brizuela account was registered, IP 121.54.13.51 performed this series of edits, adding text which was a too-close paraphrasing of a book by Andrew Môn Hughes. IP text in red, original author in green:
The first edit that Rhenier Brizuela made to the same article on the next day was the addition of more text copied too closely from the same book by Andrew Môn Hughes. Rhenier Brizuela's text in red is compared to the original book text in green:

More background to connect the dots: PogiJmon and his socks were known for relying too much on email engineer Joseph Brennan's "Gibb Songs" pages hosted at Columbia University where Brennan works. For instance, PogiJmon posted this copyright violation in July 2012, copying and pasting the text from Brennan "Gibb Songs" 1982. Now-blocked sock Sam navera also copied and pasted text from Brennan to the same article on 22 September 2012, but it was later revdeled so I cannot read it. [4] In November 2012, both Syzygy and Ferdinandhudson commented on the copyright problems at Talk:How Old Are You? (album)#Massive copyright issues. A few months later, blocked sock Sam navera re-posted the copyrighted text, taken from Brennan.

Clerk note: @ Binksternet: Given how complicated this all is for me to wade through, you did an admirable job. I especially like the use of colors. However, I still need some help "connecting the dots", as you aptly put it. First, this diff to I assume Brennan's website doesn't work. Second, in your second section where you start comparing Rhenier to the master, could you please quote the copyrighted text and the source that makes it a copyright violation. Some of the edits for which you have diffs are very long, and it's not always easy for me to pick out which part of the edit is problematic. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:53, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
