SexyRoad40 created Bajotz., an article that is clearly a duplicate of Slugterra. ARTWORK888 arrives several days later to create Bajotz (same article, just missing the '.' in the title), with the exact same duplicated content. ARTWORK888 has also removed the db-a10 tag from SexyRoad40's version of the article. WikiDan61ReadMe!! 02:25, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Creating articles with Bajotz variants in title (see talk page for the CSD notifications). Image they're using is referenced on Commons as being used by this sock, and the previous evidence seems to bear that out. Crow 21:23, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Yalexandrov created this version of the article Slugterra, which was deleted and oversight apparently (at least I'm assuming that what the line through the edit history means). Then Artwok777 creates this page nearly a year later that is almost identical to the version Yalexandrov created, suggesting either they know each other or that they both really like this particular version of the article. All three seem to be using the same edit summary as well "unblock - reason here", and that collectively makes me think this may be a sock. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:37, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

 Clerk note: A few clarifications before I get to the main problem. The revision was rev/del'd, but not oversighted. It's fairly uncommon for an IP of the named account creator of an article to remove the speedy tag. And the unblock - reason here is normal. However, there is definitely an obvious behavioral tie-in between Yalexandrov and ARTWORK777. Yet, ARTWORK777 is blocked per Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/SexyRoad40. Indeed, many accounts have been blocked in that SPI. If Yalexandrov is the same person, then he would be the master as the account is much older than SexyRoad40. The question is should this SPI and the other one be merged under Yalexandrov, plus, of course, the obvious retagging involved. The Yalexandrov account is not being used anymore, but it would show that the problem goes back much further in time than thought.
