{{sock list|1=Mattcymru2|2=Schwarbage|3=Matt2378|tools_link=yes}}<!-- Add more accounts or IPs to this template as needed -->

There's a history of at least one LTA (possibly two: see also [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/WhenDatHotlineBling]]), that have odd fixations with fiddling around with ages in articles like [[Adult]], [[Adolescence]] and [[Puberty]]. Many of these were blocked in 2020 and 2021 as sockpuppets of GTA5Player. [[User:Mattcymru2]] has already been blocked on account of very strong [[WP:DUCK]] behavior relating to that account (corresponding edits to another fairly narrow topic area). Schwarbage is a newish account that is making similar poorly-sourced age-fiddling edits to related topic areas. (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Puberty&diff=prev&oldid=1101299725], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Hebephilia&diff=prev&oldid=1099155263]). Matt2378 also has the same narrow range of focus and behavior ([https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adult&diff=prev&oldid=1032382117]). <b>[[User:Ohnoitsjamie|OhNo<span style="color: #D47C14;">itsJamie</span>]] [[User talk:Ohnoitsjamie|<sup>Talk</sup>]]</b> 14:57, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

*The accounts in the archive are stale, but Mattcymru2's CU data is consistent with the IPs that are in the CU log for GTA5Player. 
*The other two listed accounts are on the wrong continent to be GTA5Player; they are in the same country as WTHB, and I see the overlap in editing interest, but there's nothing technical linking them to previous socks, or to each other, as far as I can see - behavioural evaluation would be necessary to make the connection.

* Schwarbage's POV is clearly similar to WDHB's, although differs to an extent. In particular, WDHB [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Limited_Too&diff=prev&oldid=1099156074 views] "preadolescent" and "tween" as synonymous, while Schwarbage [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ohnoitsjamie&diff=prev&oldid=1102453887 takes the position] that adolescence starts at 10. Between that and a chat with a CU, I come down on "probably not" despite the similarities. Matt, meanwhile, doesn't seem very much like WDHB, although the shared interest in [[Drake (rapper)|Drake]] is an odd coincidence.

I'd like to preemptively apologise to whichever CheckUser goes through this. See [[Special:PageHistory/Baligh]] and username patterns. I think that article might have two groups of warring sock groups. {{checkuser|Eddy54fyv}} is tagged as suspected to GTA5Player so filing here. CU is for sleepers and any I've possibly missed.

:I'm also unopposed to leaving them all unblocked and simply leaving the page protected, if that's the course of action you'd like to take. [[User:DatGuy|DatGuy]]<sup>[[User talk:DatGuy|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/DatGuy|Contribs]]</sub> 22:08, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

*Yeesh. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Baligh&action=history&offset=&limit=500 page history] makes it pretty clear that these socks belong to this case. {{awaitingadmin}} - please indef all accounts as proven socks of GTA5Player.

All of these (except Johanah53636) are short-lived accounts editing [[Facial hair]] and/or [[Baligh]], two articles previously targeted by GTA5Player socks, and all of them following the username pattern evident in 21 of the 30 accounts [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/GTA5Player/Archive#19_November_2022|blocked last time]].

Johanah53636 is a new account following the (admittedly common) username pattern and editing [[Sexuality in Islam]], a related page targeted by the other accounts.

I'm not familiar with GTA5Player and so can't say whether all of the accounts listed here are socks, but given the ongoing disruption in the articles named I do think it's time for another CU sweep. As suggested last time, leaving the accounts unblocked and protecting the affected pages may also be a viable alternative.

Identical style of editing - often making changes to numbers to (supposedly) increase precision without increasing accuracy and relying on a low quality source. In this case this is simple block evasion with many examples of detail focused changes such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rhinog_Fawr&diff=prev&oldid=1245933895 here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rhobell_Fawr&diff=prev&oldid=1245923733 here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Fan_Gyhirych&diff=prev&oldid=1245924015 Here] and many others. 
The master had a very similar tendency as at [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Anglesey&diff=prev&oldid=1091577073 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Easter_Island&diff=prev&oldid=1094960356 here].
Edits frequently concern Welsh topics and username is a giveaway. <span style="background-color:lightblue">'''''&nbsp;[[User:Velella|Velella]]&nbsp;'''''</span><span style="background-color:lightblue">&nbsp;<sup>''[[User talk:Velella|Velella]] Talk ''</sup>&nbsp;</span> 23:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
