[edit]TyMega jumps his block again his block using its IP to add the same occupations of the actors using the term actor and voice actor to several articles including the most recent James Arnold Taylor 1 but his comparison of pattern is everything, the IP also added the same terms without indicating sources that say that one of them appears series and live-action movies 123, although I have reviewed many of the articles that I have corrected at times and deleted these terms, but unfortunately Ty Mega insists on putting them back the same terms in each opening sentence as in previous editions just like his sockpuppet Octoprey, which has the same pattern of edits than the IP I have mentioned. 148.101.43.191 (talk) 21:20, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Clerk note: I looked into this a bit more. All of the IPs in the archive geolocate to one small area in south-coastal Oregon. 73.49.197.16 is in Delaware, and does not appear to be a proxy. I agree there's extensive topic overlap, so there may be some connection, but it's apparently not just plain logged-out block evasion (unless they moved). -- RoySmith (talk) 18:28, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]Anonymous edits from this mobile IP started yesterday and while most do not seem to be the usual Jinnifer edits or interests, one particular one, with the usual Spider-man being the most popular Marvel character nonsense, stands out.[19] NJZombie (talk) 00:39, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
- Behaviourally this does not look like Jinnifer, but the editing pattern struck me as unusual for an IP user so I looked further into it. The IP (actually the whole /48 range) appears to be a sock of WP:Sockpuppet investigations/TyMega. See e.g. [20] and restorations of sock edits: [21][22], [23][24]. I've moved the case there.In the process of looking into the IP range I also came across 011Default, Default01100, and Default01010101 who have similar usernames to confirmed TyMega sock KSIKAdrianPiromanTomKennyDefault011 and Default0110 (who was blocked for DE, not socking, but is obviously a sock based on behaviour, e.g. [25][26]). These accounts have edited the same articles as TyMega socks, each other, and/or the IP range (e.g. [27][28][29]). I've added these accounts to the sock list and Clerk endorsed for a sleeper check as recent checks found many socks ([30]). Obviously, there will be no comment on the IP.

- Thanks. Based on behavioural evidence, nearly every edit from 2600:6C55:4800::/48 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · spi block · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)) going back to 2019 seems to be this sockmaster. The range has been blocked previously [31]. Awaiting administrative action - please block the range for 6 months this time (anon-only, account creation blocked).

- DatGuy suggested exactly what I was going to do :) In case it's not clear from his comment, the connection between these accounts and the TyMega case is their similar usernames (0110Default, Default01010101, Default0100) and editing interests (see e.g. the history of Ralf Scheepers).

I don't think this is necessary, their sockpuppets are already blocked and locked pretty quickly.
