This is confusing to follow because the editors have the similar names to the video game articles.

It began with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RRArchive210#User:Ground_Zeroes_editor_reported_by_User:Prisonermonkeys_.28Result:_Blocked.29 this report] at [[WP:ANEW]]. After looking at the master and the first sock listed above, I blocked the master for one week and the puppet indefinitely based on [[WP:DUCK]]. The master account had been created on [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=1&username=Ground+Zeroes+editor March 6, 2013], and the puppet on [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=1&username=Metal+Gear+Solid+V+editor March 28, 2013]. Both accounts were named like the games they were discussing. On the master's talk page, he says he is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Ground_Zeroes_editor&oldid=542443227 "Exclusive editor for Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes."]. On the Metal Gear puppet user page, he said [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Metal_Gear_Solid_V_editor&oldid=547411070 "I only work on the Metal Gear Solid V article."]. The content disupte was whether to split [[Metal Gear Solid V]] into two articles. Both the master and the puppet wanted to split. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Metal_Gear_Solid_V:_The_Phantom_Pain&diff=prev&oldid=547305865 This] shows Ground Zeroes moving Metal Gear Solid:Ground Zeroes to Metal Gear Solid:The Phantom Pain. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Metal_Gear_Solid:_Ground_Zeroes&diff=prev&oldid=547612245 This] shows him creating the second article, Metal Gear Solid:Ground Zeroes. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Metal_Gear_Solid_V:_The_Phantom_Pain&diff=prev&oldid=547613182 This] shows Metal Gear Solid V editor indicating, "I just split them now."

My blocks of the first puppet and the master occurred on March 30 at [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AMetal+Gear+Solid+V+editor 1:56] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AGround+Zeroes+editor 1:59]. Neither account requested an unblock. SOCOM created his account on [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=1&username=SOCOM+Warrior March 30 at 9:21]. He created a [[User:SOCOM Warrior|user page]] that says he's been on Wikipedia for over 7 years and that he is on several wiki projects or ise interested in them, unclear ("I'm an editor and several wiki projects"). He said he was interested in various kinds of articles, including Metal Gear articles. However, the only articles he's edited have been [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/SOCOM_Warrior&action=view Metal Gear articles]. Finally, like the other two accounts, he has [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Metal_Gear_Solid_V:_The_Phantom_Pain&diff=prev&oldid=547799533 argued for a split].

I have already indefinitely blocked SOCOM as a puppet, but because we now have two puppets - and there may be more - I felt it wise to open this report to obtain technical confirmation if possible. Whether you look for sleepers is up to you. [[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 00:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

*{{Endorse}} - Per Bbb's excellent report, the socking is obvious here. Since Ground Zeroes felt it necessary to create two socks to participate in content disputes, I feel it is worth looking for more. [[User:Someguy1221|Someguy1221]] ([[User talk:Someguy1221|talk]]) 02:00, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
*I had already run a check on SOCOM Warrior before seeing this case when I was reviewing their unblock request. A check on Metal Gear Solid V editor now reveals that the following are all {{confirmed}} as the same user:
** {{Checkuser|AnddoX}}
** {{Checkuser|Ground Zeroes editor}}
** {{Checkuser|Metal Gear Solid V editor}}
** {{Checkuser|SOCOM Warrior}}
*Note that AnddoX is the oldest account. ​—[[User:DoRD|DoRD]] ([[User talk:DoRD|talk]])​ 14:57, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
