Similar usernames (see also previous socks such as MmmMcGriddles and ILoveKrabbyBurgers, currently tagged as socks of StewieRox, but StewieRox was a sock of IBB...) and similar edits to a similar range of articles:

• Cf edits to Pearl Krabs by this account and blocked sock SoapSoapWhatIsSoap.
• Wendy Testaburger was created by blocked sock User:KlausSmithHeissler and was edited by IIT.
• IIT has nominated Gerald and Sheila Broflovski for deletion, an article which blocked sock IWannaRockBro attempted to remove here, using a similar rationale. bonadea contributions talk 10:55, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Note After opening this report I discovered WhenDatHotlineBling who was blocked back in November (but posted several unblock requests in April). I'm sure this is the same user and am adding it to the list of suspected socks above. One reason is StewieRox copying WhenDatHotlineBling's unblock request; their talk page posts, especially unblock requests, are also very similar to those of other blocked socks. Examples: ImmaBeeBe, WhenDatHotlineBling (that's the one the StewieRox sock copied), KlausSmithHeissler. Before WhenDatHotlineBling was blocked they also edited a similar range of pages to the other socks, such as McGriddles (also edited by ImmaBeeBe, IWannaRockBro, StewieRox, and KlausSmithHeissler). Assuming it is the same user, WhenDatHotlineBling should be the sockmaster. --bonadea contributions talk 15:01, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Much like previous socks of his, this user has a tendency to add non-defining/inappropriate categories to animation-related articles, especially categories that have to do with child abuse. However, I do not see a restrictive focus on a certain subject with this user; there appears to be a variety in his contributions, whereas WhenDatHotlineBling and his socks would stick to one or two subjects and very rarely had variety. I'd say they are the same person based on their edits to animation-related articles, though. Oldnick34 (talk) 12:26, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Obsessed with the same set of articles, adding nonsensical child abuse/pornography categories, and writing in the exact same voice as previous socks. The only peculiarity is the age of this account, but maybe it has switched owners or something - there was a three-year gap until a few days ago, and the current user is clearly identical to WhenDatHotlineBling. bonadea contributions talk 20:34, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Using identical phrasing, editing the identical subject areas including some specific articles that are clearly their favourites, mixing semi-constructive edits with useless and disruptive ones - obvious sock. bonadea contributions talk 04:34, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Just as a FTR, a couple of other obvious socks have been blocked for disruptive editing (not blocked as socks) recently: DrakeFan373 (talk · contribs) a week ago and YouTheYouTheBest (talk · contribs) today. There is a clear overlap in the edits, behaviour and language of these two accounts with each other and with OneDance1 and previous socks.

This user whom the SPI is a about appears to be male; I on the other hand am a female, and I only restored that edit because it looked to be accurate; the image for the Happy Meal article shows the Japanese version of the meal rather than the recognizable American one. That said, I can safely pass over the speculation that I have any affiliation with this user. Esther2001 (talk) 09:02, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Just because a user joins and suddenly makes constructive edits does not mean they are a sockpuppet. Just because said user edits articles related to Family Guy, South Park, SpongeBob, The Simpsons, songs by the rapper Drake, and fast food, does not automatically make them a sock either.

• We have seen separate 9 reports, involving more accounts than I can be bothered to count, in just a shade over one week. Compare this with 24 reports in the archive covering more than a year and 37 tagged sockpuppets. It is clear that getting blocked does not put him off and he might even be accelerating. Is it not time to look at rangeblocks, edit filters or whatever else might work to stop this loser coming back indefinitely? Would adding an entry at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse help? --DanielRigal (talk) 12:11, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm afraid I agree with Sro23 below - this is somebody who is desperate for attention, and a LTA would serve to give them that. (Note that there is a certain amount of cross-Wiki vandalism, and several accounts have been globally blocked.) --bonadea contributions talk 10:16, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

• DanielRigal, bonadea, I don't believe that an LTA page is really much of a reward, though it is obvious that this person is in desperate need of a hug. But if there is animus against an LTA, what y'all could do is place a note here that explains to the next batch of admins what this person does, and what one should look for. What one should do is RBI, and deny talk page access. Drmies (talk) 23:19, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

• DanielRigal, I'm not sure creating an LTA entry would be helpful, considering the sockmaster has attempted to create one on themself in the past. I have requested a rangeblock of the underlying IP before and was told it's not feasible. Sro23 (talk) 15:24, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Food-related name, claiming to not be a sock of Fast Food Nazi Vandal after they created an LTA for the account of the same exact name (good hand, bad hand). All the signs are here. It's got webbed-feet, a yellow bill, and lives near ponds. Lupin VII (talk) 16:40, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

WP:Duck. Same focus on short descriptions, adolescent, and child sexual abuse topics. I usually report this one to Berean Hunter. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 02:46, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Compare, for example, to TwelvePerson, one of the various WhenDatHotlineBling socks I reported to Berean Hunter. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 02:52, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Unless someone is impersonating this sockmaster, Mirvblast is clearly one of his socks. Using "Mirvblast" instead "Nirvblast" this time. Focused on me. Noting the sock here for documentation and to check for sleepers. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 01:05, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

ST47, checked already? Checked but not confirmed as a WhenDatHotlineBling sock? I know that editors like to apply WP:Deny to this sockmaster, but documenting his socks helps. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 01:29, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

ST47, thanks. Yes, I know from another case, it seems that this sockmaster has started to use colocation hosts/proxies. Looking here, it seems that Berean Hunter was the one to check. Whoever did the check, or if there was more than one check, I understand that there is nothing more to see here. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 01:36, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Was checked already, and already blocked, so closing. ST47 (talk) 01:24, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
  • @Flyer22 Frozen: The CU who checked believes that the IP address was a proxy, so probably was not enough information to call it confirmed. ST47 (talk) 01:31, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
    • Mirvblast and DringerGringer are Unrelated to WhenDatHotlineBling. First one used a proxy but the second one used a non-proxy in the same range. This is an LTA that tries to imitate other LTAs/sockmasters. Not naming him publicly per DENY.

Made a very similar edit to a suspected sock of the user. The user all of the sudden started making (now RevDeleted) personal attacks on their talk page earlier today after a 3-year dormancy. Goose^(Talk!) 23:44, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

A newly created account that seems already quite familiar with Wikipedia, editing in the sockmaster's typical topic areas of child abuse and pop music. Cheers, gnu57 22:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

RoySmith - is a one-click mass revert of all his edits possible by admins? Crossroads ^-talk- 21:15, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Such things are possible, but it's not my area of expertise, so I'll have to punt to somebody else on that one. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:29, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

• Note All edits for Guacjeans have been rollbacked (saw the one-click discussion after doing so); feel free to revert if incorrect but judging from Hotline's longtime NOTHERE behavior I'm not apt to be kind here, especially with this wave of 'adolescent' edits to weird things that don't use that term for teens.

Familiar obsession with adolescent/child development stages and history of absurd/nonsensical edits. Interest in Japanese culture and child murder, all of his edits have something to do with this, including his most recent in November. History of edit spam and removing bits of articles without a good reason or context. Will probably pop up again, so keep a look out. Schwarbage (talk) 22:47, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Literally the exact same typing style and content obsessions. Obsessed with extending adolescence and changing the age ranges on all articles, obsession with Japanese media. This guy has been doing this for nearly 10 YEARS. This is 100% all 1 person and this dedication borders onto lolcow territory. Schwarbage (talk) 16:51, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

• The purpose is that they all seem to be the same guy and should probably be listed under the same investigation. Yes, they're from last year but the fact that this has been ongoing for almost a decade is concerning. Schwarbage (talk) 17:25, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

  Added one from a little over a month ago. This guy is still at it for sure and will be back for more. Schwarbage (talk) 17:54, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

• Closing without action - every single one of these accounts is already blocked, aside from two; one that doesn't exist and one that is globally locked. Furthermore they're all from last year. I'm not sure what the purpose of this request is? CoconutOctopus talk 17:22, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

  I see absolutely no compelling reason to waste anyone's time with having to tag year-old blocked socks or merge anything at this time. CoconutOctopus talk 17:35, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

• Reopening so that the most recent account added can be checked. In future please don't add accounts to already closed sections but start a new one, thanks! CoconutOctopus talk 18:07, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
• Vladivostok1967 is in {{unconnected}} territory with regards to historic data for this case. The data I looked at is old, and people move, so it's not impossible, but I don't think it likely that Vladivostok1967 is WDHB. With so little behavioural evidence to go on, I am closing this case.
