* Hi ], I'm not an expert on Zero sharp and do not remember him as an editor. This is definitely a weakness versus the other banned editors for whom I found sockpuppets over the years (notably Haham Hanuka and Wikixx), who I remember well as editors. Nevertheless, last time when I saw an out-of-the-blue meritless nomination for the Israeli subject domain I thought that this might be a sockpuppet and it was identified by others as Zero sharp's. Here we have a similar nomination by a new user who came around shortly after Zero's previous sockpuppets were blocked. In the history I see again a deep interest in yoga, erasing of a vandalism notice, and cursing, so I thought I'd notify again for professional consideration. This is the stronger case. I have stricken through the weaker case that showed fewer similarities. In any case, this is not a crusade against anyone and there are no objectives other than to keep WP a safe and fair place for everyone. Best, ] (]) 02:02, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
:User started an "ANI" procedure after I reported him. In this procedure he seems to express concern that his IP might be checked. ] (]) 02:39, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

], all this over a template discussion? There is no evidence I'm a sockpuppet of a user I've never heard of. --] (]) 18:39, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

* I am involved in ] with the three editors mentioned here. From there, I have no clue that sockpuppetry would be happening. I also note that in that discussion OP gidonb was casting BF/PA arguments. -] (]) 17:01, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

* His states "JIC" or Just in case. That is not how a sockpuppetry investigation works. There needs to be evidence as stated on the ]. There must be immediate evidence provided and as ] states, "I see a similar account setup as their previous socks, similar interests, and similar editing patterns". That is pretty vague which of course won't be investigated per the rules. --] (]) 21:46, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

* I propose this investigation be closed, ]. It's been four days and no evidence has been provided because Gidonb is only here to cause drama because Catcpoke and I don't agree with him on the Tfd linked above. --] (]) 19:28, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
:: I have shown strong commonalities between a disruptive user and a known sockpuppeteer for whom I have detected a sockpuppet in the past. Whether they are the same, this is a similar case, or all is coincidental is for the analyst to decide. Also, I have never tied between the discussion and the investigation here. On the contrary, I participated in the discussion as if this investigation did not exist while you kept trying to introduce it. Facts do matter. 16:14, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
:::Facts do matter. But you have not provided any facts so far. But I don't see why anyone would open this investigation when it transpired from the Tfd. I don't see why you would've suspect me in the first place. --] (]) 16:35, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

:*{{re|Blablubbs}} I recommend closing this for lack of evidence.--] (]) 22:37, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
::*{{ping|Gidonb}} I have reviewed the diffs you interpolated since I recommended closure, and I see nothing that indicates a connection between Catchpoke and the master or their socks. As {{U|Blablubbs}}'s request states, you must present ''comparison'' diffs, meaning diffs of Catchpoke's edits alongside diffs of the master-socks' edits that demonstrate a behavioral connection. Instead, you focus only on those edits of Catchpoke's that bother you, like weirdly claiming that calling you a "hypocrite" is "cursing". It's not, but, regardless, if you could show that the master/socks have called editors who disagree with them hypocrites, ''that'' would be some evidence of a connection. For these reasons, I am closing this report. If Blablubbs disagrees, they are welcome to reopen it.--] (]) 05:36, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
