Editor interaction utility

All three exhibit similar editing patterns as User:Plateau99, who was indefinitely blocked for disruptive editing on Zoophilia related pages. Plateau99's sock User:MarkB40n was also blocked after Plateau99's indef, and this leads me to believe that he has not stop sock-puppeting.

User:BlackF8's first few edits[1] are towards the Zoosadism article, which I've edited before, and includes him adding in comments in parenthesis and quotes from Beetz, both of which Plateau99 commonly did. Edit summaries are similar. New editors are unlikely to add in quotes with refs like that. BlackF8 also made small changes on different articles before editing the Zoophilia one, so his sock puppeting wouldn't appear obvious to others.
User:Paperynl is an obvious sock of Plateau99, editing only Zoophilia related pages and trying to add in materials that Plateau99 tried to add in the past.
User:Female bodybuilder enthusiast This sock is harder to spot, but the account is created a week after Plateau99 is blocked in August. Edits only include adding icons/ tables/ or rewording phrases on different article so to appear different from Plateau99. Similar hours of editing as Plateau99, and if edited on the same day, edits only hours after Paperynl (4 hours after on April 11 and 20).

If these are indeed confirmed socks, I highly doubt Latitude0116/ Plateau99 will stop sockpuppeting in the future. Someone963852 (talk) 13:45, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

CheckUser requested - Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention - Strange parenthetical usage by both Latitude and previous sock plateau. [2]. Limited usage of edit summaries, similar editing times, and similarly strange POV pushing all make me highly suspicious. There are some differences in editing but the underlying edit behavior seems highly similar. If all the accounts are related, they are surely related to Latitude.

Paperynl and BlackF8 are now blocked because they were completely using proxies/tor to evade CU.

A clerk should make sure I come back and block the proxies before closing this, as I have not yet blocked them yet. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 06:53, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Who is User:Female bodybuilder enthusiast a confirmed sock of? Plateau99? User:Fbbfan was created in 2013[3], after User:Female bodybuilder enthusiast[4] in 2012. Recent edit summaries[5][6] by User:Female bodybuilder enthusiast are highly similar to Plateau99's and his other socks. Someone963852 (talk) 12:13, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially bodybuilder is related to Fbbfan. The other two users used proxies to evade linkage, so there isn't a technical relationship between them and Female bodybuilder enthusiast. I think there is enough evidence to block bodybuilder on behavioral evidence alone though. I'll look into it later today or tomorrow, I'm quite swamped right now. Other clerks are welcome to act on it as well. NativeForeigner ^Talk 21:26, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Based on behavioral evidence, I'm blocking the other two accounts. I'll go remind DeltaQuad to block the proxies too. Closed. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:50, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
