This is an obvious attempt by a globally blocked user account to avoid the block. The new account popped into existence a few days after the old account was blocked for long-term abuse. The edits immediately fell into the pattern of disruptive editing: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Cyane_and_HMS_Levant&diff=654106034&oldid=653451259|this edit]] inserted inaccurate [[WP:OR|original research]] in front of citations for other details; in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=654309363&oldid=648235732|this edit]] the user was actually boasting that by the account holder's standards, the original research was accurate, introducing unncessary cruft into the information box, a favourite pastime of UnbiasedVictory. Also concentrates on US/Canadian military topic, as did UnbiasedVictory. Even on a bare dozen edits, the behaviour easily passes the [[WP:the duck test|duck test]]. [[User:HLGallon|HLGallon]] ([[User talk:HLGallon|talk]]) 20:31, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

*[[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=604147916&oldid=604147678|this edit]] by UnbiasedVictory: places the Eastern Atlantic Ocean in the Southern United States. The user made a storm of similar edits which took some effort to clean up.
*[[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=612062464&oldid=608612903|this edit]] gives some idea of the level of UnbiasedVictory's scholarship; wrong British commander, no idea from what source, and missed one of the best known officers in the history of the U.S. Navy;
*[[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=616169755&oldid=615223332|this edit]] is absolutely unsourced and contradicts all printed sources;
*[[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=619205497&oldid=619194003|this edit]] UnbiasedVictory inserting [[WP:SYN|SYN]] in front of citation;
*[[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=654229828&oldid=648235732|this edit]] Editing Net repeating the same [[WP:SYN|SYN]];
*[[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=654229828&oldid=648235732|this edit]] by Editing Net; unfounded [[WP:SYN|SYN]];
*[[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=654309363&oldid=654229828|this edit]] trumpets Editing Net's discovery that the crew of a U.S. Navy vessel consists of sailors and marines, a favourite hobby horse of UnbiasedVictory.

The two users share similar degrees of incompetence and wilful disregard of all Wikipedia's core principles. This is why I believe that Editing Net's edits pass the [[WP:DUCK|duck test]] easily. However, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ARjensen&diff=654861642&oldid=654818600|this edit]] by Editing Net might make comparisons unnecessary.

UnbiasedVictory is globally locked for "long-term abuse". But, as much as I know, UnbiasedVictory was never proven to be a sock of Light2Shadow, although he was accused several times. I don't really know what kind of "long-term abuse" is he locked for. An admin is needed to deal with this.

::I dont think they are the same person ..but UnbiasedVictory has had a problem with editing (as indicated by the block log) . Not many edit summaries or sources for all the changes with some edit summaries referring to other Wiki articles as the source. We spend lots of time cleaning up after this editor. We have tried [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:UnbiasedVictory&action=history many many many times to explain the problems but to no avail]..just blanking ( no interest in working collaboratively).

That said user 99.233.100.189 is Light2Shadow same edits some even coped from over 4 years ago. -- [[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 22:54, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

::::What i am saying is that  UnbiasedVictory is  not Light2Shadow.  UnbiasedVictory has had edit wars with  Light2Shadow and  Light2Shadow's other names and IP's.in the past. Both editors have the same type of edits but they are not the same person in my opinion. They both are guessing at what they are doing and not adding sources...but they are different people. Lets be honest here...we will never stop them...both have been at this for years. At WP:Canada we just try and fix what we can when we see it...but they both edit any military article. Sometimes UnbiasedVictory  catches his own mistakes and fixs it [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Lower_Canada_Rebellion&action=history as seen here]...this is not so for Light2Shadow and his/her socks. Both editors are a problem but I think UnbiasedVictory a young man will learn more as he goes  and in the end could be an asset to the projects. We just need UnbiasedVictory to stop getting info from Wikipedia and websites over scholarly publications (no guess work)  -- [[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 21:22, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
{{od}}
For what it is worth, I think it was a mistake to have moved this investigation to that into that of [[User:Light2Shadow]]. That was a complex investigation and on the basis of past behaviour, [[User:UnbiasedVictory]] was included in it. Of course, when exonerated from Light2Shadow's activities, UnbiasedVictory crowed that he had never engaged in sockpuppetry, despite having been found guilty of it on indisputable evidence on two occasions. I would suggest moving the investigation back to focus on UnbiasedVictory, where the issues are very clear-cut. [[User:HLGallon|HLGallon]] ([[User talk:HLGallon|talk]]) 21:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
::Yes we could focus on  UnbiasedVictory..but the fact is Editing Net is still editing ask we talk this out ....[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Cyane_and_HMS_Levant&diff=655717778&oldid=655500761 more guess work] this needs to stop ASAP. 99.233.100.189 also still editwaring all over.

The editor is currently blocked for 24 hours for edit warring and 3RR. However, the editor's changes are clearly that of the previous editor through the [[WP:DUCK|duck test]] in: the articles on which the editor concentrates; concentration on leads or info. boxes, without any evidence of having read the sources for the article; refusal to acknowledge [[WP:V]] and [[WP:NOR]] (copypasting sentences with ref tags from body of an article into the lead, or even the lead of other articles, does not constitute proper research); use of Wikipedia as a source; repeated disruptive reversals when an edit is challenged.

I previously reported this user on based behavioral and circumstantial grounds, namely, time of creation and apparent subject matter interests.  The report was processed without action when a CU (which I did not request) came back showing no relation.  After the passage of a week or so the behavioral evidence is clearer and I am again reporting this user as a puppet of UnbiasedVictory.  Evidence:</br>
*User:BrixtonBox, a confirmed sock of UnbiasedVictory, was blocked at 23:54 (my time) on February 14.  Wowser Bowser was created 24 hours later, at 23:26 on February 15.  Several prior confirmed socks of UnbiasedVictory were created in the short hours following a prior block - see the archive.
*Wowser Bowser soon created a user page wherein he [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Wowser_Bowser&direction=next&oldid=705219525 described himself] as an advocate of "good grammar".   Prior socks have expressed similar sentiments - BrixtonBox joined the Wikipedia typo team, [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:BrixtonBox&oldid=704899337 see link]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Ameriwikipedian&oldid=704380271 Ameriwikipedian] indicated the intention to ferret out punctuation, spelling & grammar mistakes; [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Nacho_wifi&oldid=696159892 Nacho wifi] said he had joined Wikipedia to "ensure accuracy and detail" in Wikipedia articles; and as Sombrero Spaceman he complained of [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:SombreroSpaceman&oldid=704205919 false and/or insufficient information] that characterized Wikipedia.
*Wowser Bowser - ostensibly a brand new editor with no connection to UnbiasedVictory or his interests - immediately proceeds to make substantive edits identical or extremely similar to confirmed UBV socks, e.g., 
**[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=704718894&oldid=704604914 Ameriwikipedian] / [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=prev&oldid=705310048 Wowser Bowser]</br>
**[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Cyane_and_HMS_Levant&diff=704721713&oldid=704604856 Ameriwikipedian] / [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Cyane_and_HMS_Levant&diff=prev&oldid=705319944 Wowser Bowser]; and again with [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Cyane_and_HMS_Levant&diff=706115671&oldid=706003409 the same edit today]
*In addition to the foregoing, there is this illustrative, not exhaustive, list:
**[[Battle of New Orleans]] - has been edited by WowserBowser as well as socks Detectionist, Drugsby, Amerijuanican, and Editing Net.
***(NB the substantive overlap as well - [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_New_Orleans&diff=700320526&oldid=700320174 Dectionist] vs. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_New_Orleans&diff=706117006&oldid=705456556 Wowser Bowser])
**[[Battle of Romanovka]] - WowserBowser, Amerijuanican, UnbiasedVictory.
**[[Confederate States Marine Corps]] - WowserBowser, Amerijuanican
*** - not to mention substantively similar edits:  [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Confederate_States_Marine_Corps&diff=671777617&oldid=671770960 Amerijuanican], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Confederate_States_Marine_Corps&diff=705573183&oldid=701657301 Wowser Bowser]
**[[Battle of Fallen Timbers]] - WowserBowser, Amerijuanican
*** - where [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Fallen_Timbers&diff=705414714&oldid=705105595 Wowser Bowser] fleshes out an edit originally made by [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Fallen_Timbers&diff=693304494&oldid=693269571 Amerijuanican].
*In the same fashion as 3 prior socks before him, (Drugsby, Ameriwikipedian and BrixtonBox), Wowser Bowser has, in the guise of a newly-minted and just-trying-to-behelpful user, opened discussions at [[Talk:Capture of HMS Cyane and HMS Levant]] advocating acceptance of one of the edits repeatedly inserted by UBV puppets.

I haven't done the math but probably 75% of the edits made by WowserBowser are to pages that have been editing by one or more UBV socks.  The timing of this account's creation, the expression of similar interests on this user's user page, and the extremely high correlation between pages edited by this user and pages edited by prior, confirmed socks leaves no room for simple coincidence or misunderstanding.  This is yet another sock of UnbiasedVictory.  Finally, any lack of a CU matchup is neither surprising nor conclusive, inasmuch as BrixtonBox, complaining about the unjustness of his block, insisted that the CU results could not be correct inasmuch as he edits from his phone and has no fixed IP, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BrixtonBox&diff=705137813&oldid=705127406 this edit].  Wowser Bowser has just done a better job of covering his tracks. [[User:JohnInDC|JohnInDC]] ([[User talk:JohnInDC|talk]]) 17:49, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Please note that even though some of my edits took place on the same articles as the user, I did not support his or her information. [[User:Stateless editor|Stateless editor]] ([[User talk:Stateless editor|talk]]) 22:46, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

:Incorrect. Other than a slew of edits to churn the editor's home page and presumably earn auto-confirmed status, the editor went straight for the articles most repeatedly subjected to personal opinion and original research by [[User:UnbiasedVictory]] and all that user's subsequent sockpuppets, and reinstated UnbiasedVictory's edits, albeit in [[WP:SNEAKY|sneaky]] fashion. [[User:HLGallon|HLGallon]] ([[User talk:HLGallon|talk]]) 21:06, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

::If I supported the user's previous edits I'd understand your suspicion. But I didn't, so I don't. The fact that a user edits an unrelated section of the same article as a blocked user is hardly sufficient evidence for a sockpuppet-based accusation or block. [[User:Stateless editor|Stateless editor]] ([[User talk:Stateless editor|talk]]) 06:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

:::A week or so ago, Stateless editor - ostensibly a newly minted user - was asking what it means to "patrol" a page, and "is that good or bad" ([https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:John_from_Idegon&diff=prev&oldid=711508755 link]); and [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Stateless_editor&diff=prev&oldid=711779303 professing confusion over HTML markup].  But today he is sufficiently well-versed in the nuances of sock puppetry to be able to discuss with conviction the adequacy of evidence in an SSI investigation.  Which is he, a naif or an experienced user?

:::It is, in fact, one of UBV's tells to portray new socks as a naive user just trying to get his bearings in the difficult and confusing world of Wikipedia, see for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Nacho_wifi&oldid=695923492 Nacho_wifi's User page], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Drugsby&oldid=696386554 Drugsby user page] - then immediately launching into sophisticated and purposeful editing, on the same pages as prior socks.  This is a textbook example.  UBV is just getting a little bit subtler in his deception, by not instantly duplicating his prior edits.

:::Oh incidentally for what it's worth - both this user and at least one prior sock have (presumably tongue-in-cheek) explained an edit as the product of their obsessive-compulsive disorder:  [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BrixtonBox&oldid=704900651 BrixtonBox]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States&diff=prev&oldid=711511182 Stateless editor].

:::It's ridiculous to suppose - and insulting to contend - that Stateless editor is just some poor unfortunate soul who decided Wikipedia might be a good way to pass the time, created an account, and is being unjustly accused of puppetry solely by reason of his own idiosyncratic editing interests, which by the ''most striking of coincidences'' happen to overlap almost perfectly with the pages that have been victimized by a series of UBV sock puppets.  [[User:JohnInDC|JohnInDC]] ([[User talk:JohnInDC|talk]]) 12:53, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

::::Firstly you seem to like using the term "ostensibly". Doesn't make you appear any more or less intelligent, unfortunately, so let's pull that one back a tad, shall we? Thanks. Secondly if it were, in fact, a fact, I'd already be blocked indefinitely instead of assisting in the expansion of this thread via pointless bickering with you. So for the sake of both of us, please drop your bottomless accusation so we can be done with this.

Made the same edit ([https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=712149809&oldid=710975388]) as a previous sock did: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Capture_of_HMS_Penguin&diff=712149809&oldid=710975388]. [[Capture of HMS Penguin]] is infested with sockpuppets, all of them obsessed with the photo caption.

A friendly IP was kind enough to tell me about this. Off we go:
*Exhibit A: [[Rio de Janeiro Affair]]. Overlaps with other socks: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rio_de_Janeiro_Affair&diff=648460068&oldid=647929099][https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rio_de_Janeiro_Affair&diff=677699901&oldid=664770082][https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rio_de_Janeiro_Affair&diff=726732224&oldid=722105509] (note  the similarity of edits 1/3.)
*Exhibit B: [[Bombardment of Greytown]].

The same "town/protectorate destroyed" thing, plus the fact that UBV is '''absolutely obsessed''' with adding in details of Marine involvement.
*Exhibit C: [[Canadian Army]]. Yup, overlaps, and editing the same area: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Canadian_Army&diff=729494580&oldid=729099845][https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Canadian_Army&diff=649341220&oldid=647298964][https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Canadian_Army&diff=649509842&oldid=649452275][https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Canadian_Army&diff=649956475&oldid=649944204].

These two new accounts were created within days of one another.  Both immediately created blank User & User Talk pages, as well as blank Sandbox pages.  The immediate creation of a user and / or user talk page is characteristic of UBV socks – see (by way of partial listing):

The user name “ChrisInNC” may have been chosen to tweak me, inasmuch as I’ve reported half a dozen or more UBV socks.

As for substantive overlap, [[User:Wikimikimotion]] has edited 11 unique pages.  Six of those have been visited by UBV or a prior sock (most often, [[User:Amerijuanican]]).  The pages are,

:[[War of 1812]]
:[[Capture of HMS Penguin]]
:[[Afghanistan–Pakistan skirmishes]]
:[[List of wars involving the United States]]
:[[Formosa Expedition]]
:[[North Russia Intervention]]

This is just by eyeballing – it’s possible I missed a couple.  Furthermore, at [[Formosa Expedition]], there is plain overlap between edits by [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Formosa_Expedition&diff=747314370&oldid=736115526 Wikimikimotion] and confirmed sock [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Formosa_Expedition&diff=729006518&oldid=729006327 Space man J].

Similarly, [[User:ChrisInNC]] has edited 7 unique pages.  My manual review revealed that five have previously been visited by UBV or socks:

:[[Pakistan–United States skirmishes]]
:[[List of wars involving Canada]]
:[[Easter Offensive]]
:[[Second Battle of Vailele]]
:[[Mexican–American War]]

So combined – 18 unique pages, 11 previously edited by UBV or socks.  As with all the  prior UBV socks, it is highly unlikely that an innocent editor, new to the project and with merely a generalized interest in military matters would, within hours of creating their account, zero in on the very articles favored by UBV and begin editing significantly there.   Double this unlikelihood by reason of the second editor here, created within days of the first, and the circumstantial evidence becomes overwhelming.

I’m requesting CU to check for sleepers. [[User:JohnInDC|JohnInDC]] ([[User talk:JohnInDC|talk]]) 01:44, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
