Prior SSP or RFCU cases may exist for this user:
Green Squares caused significant disruption in the area of fighting dogs in Roman Britain. The main problem seems to have been assumptions of bad faith and complete inability to accept the opinions of more knowledgeable editors. See WT:CGR#Eyes needed: "Gratius Falsius" and the "Procurator Cynegii" in Roman Britain for details, if needed. Through this behaviour he has drawn the attention of User:Hipocrite on himself, who realised that Green Squares is an obvious reincarnation of SirIsaacBrock. [1] [2] He has now admitted this. [3] [4] Afterwards he attacked Hipocrite. [5]
There is a large number of socks in Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of SirIsaacBrock and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of SirIsaacBrock, with activity from May 2005 till May 2008. I have listed three more that were known to be related to each other, but are in fact also obvious SirIsaacBrock socks, filling a gap of 2 months in the history. (See the collapsed table in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of SirIsaacBrock.) The Green Squares account was created 1 May 2008 at 01:51, 6 minutes after the previous account (Chessy999) made its last edit, in which it denied the connection with SirIsaacBrock. [6] It started editing immediately. [7]
Just to have it in a convenient location, here is a direct link to an old ANI section on the user that is incomplete in the archive. [8] Another ANI thread. [9]
Given that this user has held four accounts simultaneously in July 2005, I am tentatively asking for a checkuser check to make sure this is currently the only account.

JunoBeach has edited a number of unrelated articles that SirIsaacBrock and his sock User:Green Squares edited. I ran across this editor today at Dogs of Roman Britain where the editor was reinserting material [10] that was added in 2009 by Green Squares dealing with an alleged Pugnaces Britanniae breed of dogs. [11] and [12] The Intersec contribs tool shows 25 article/template intersects with Green Squares [13], 23 with the puppetmaster [14] and 2 with a minor puppet [15] and 2 more with another minor puppet [16]. In each of these cases they are unrelated and the minor puppet made few edits. It's pretty much WP:DUCK but I am requesting a check for sleepers. Dougweller ( talk) 13:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
For some background on this editor, see the following:
He was indeffed at some point, then was allowed to return by the ban appeals subcommittee, but subject to a topic ban from fighting dogs. Somehow he managed to believe the topic ban was temporary when that was not the case and he had only been told that it could be revisited on his request. This misunderstanding resulted in a one-month block for what I believe was his last legal account, User:WritersCramp, and he 'retired' under that account. Hans Adler 16:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Blockhouse321 is the latest in a long line of socks of this individual who's edits are focused on, but not restricted to, all forms of blood sports (particularly baiting and dog fighting and dog breeds bred for fighting), Canadian military history, various military materiel topics and snipers/sniping, chess (with a particular fascination with Bobby Fischer) and Nazi history & culture. Recently two accounts have been linked to IQ125 (see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of IQ125), but I believe this goes back much further than that. Blockhouse321 recommenced editing (after a 12.5 year break) the day after TFSA was blocked.
Some of the most telling article comparisons from the user compare report and interaction analyser [17] include: Badger-baiting [18], Bibliography of Adolf Hitler [19], Bibliography of Bobby Fischer [20], Blue Paul Terrier [21], Bobby Fischer [22], Bull and terrier [23], Bully Kutta [24], Dog-baiting [25], Dog fighting [26], Featherston Drive Public School [27], Hockley in the Hole [28], Human-baiting [29], Laugardælir [30], Lion-baiting [31], List of Antarctic expeditions [32], List of conflicts in Canada [33], List of dog fighting breeds [34], Muskellunge [35], Nazi eugenics [36], Old English Bulldog [37], Rat-baiting [38], Timeline of the War of 1812 [39] and United States Marine Raider stiletto [40].
Aside from various sock blocks, there remains in force at least two extant TBANs for this editor:
Blockhouse321 has flouted this repeatedly: [41] [42] [43] [44] [45].
They all predominantly edit at similar times of the day and they have another particularly telling idiosyncrasy in common, I would prefer they not learn it so they can be detected in the future but I am happy to email it to any admin.
They have previously adopted very similar formats for their user pages in different guises: SirIsaacBrock Green Squares & IQ125.
Blockhouse321 has been informed of this SPI [46].

GeneralNotability, I am unsure where I am supposed to respond, please correct me if I am responding in the wrong section. Many thanks for pointing me to that essay, it is a great guide. I am very happy to removed all of the old and blocked users, I have only retained them for the user compare report but now I have added the interaction analyser links I suppose they’re redundant.
Yes, I believe IQ125 et al is in fact SirIsaacBrock, originally I filed this under IQ125 [49] then merged it here to demonstrate consistent editing in the same topic areas (and articles) for over 15 years without any significant breaks in time. Further, the IQ125 account was created [50] three days after the last confirmed SIB sock, JunoBeach, was blocked [51]. Re WritersCramp, they have previously admitted to being a sock of SirIsaacBrock et al.
I believe the most compelling evidence is the consistent editing of the same articles, very disparate and frequently obscure and within the topic areas described in the first paragraph above (also described by Doug Weller twelve years ago [52]), shown in the interaction analysis links by article in the second paragraph above. Some specific diffs for Blockhouse321:

@ Cavalryman: There is a reason why this has been sitting for so long. It's mess. You're mixing up two different SPIs. You're listing accounts as confirmed, regardless of who they're confirmed to, which are not. I can't follow it and don't want to. I'm afraid you're going to have to trim it way down, or it will be closed. Also, do not create subsections that don't exist in the original structure.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:49, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
ChanziP has edited the same diverse topic areas as the others, including but not limited to dogs (especially dog related blood sports), chess (with a particular fascination with Bobby Fischer), accounting and Canadian military history.

Created on the same day that the last account, ChanziP, was blocked [224]. Large overlap with previous socks. Similar constellation of interests in dogfighting (e.g. [225] [226] [227]), Canadian military history ( [228] [229] [230]) and chess - see in particular edits to Bibliography of works on Bobby Fischer, created and substantially edited by SIB socks. Same habit of using ref and template markup in edit summaries ( [231] [232] [233]/ [234] [235] [236] , [237] [238] [239]/ [240] [241]).
