User is already blocked at 'DJ Devilsman' and 71.178.44.174. 'DJ Hellbringer' is a sleeper account used back in May 2020 with same focus of The Masked Singer articles and edits somehow involving me (whether on my talk page or mentioning me in edit summaries or talk page comments). 'DJPrinceCharming' once again has same focus of The Masked Singer content (see this edit and this edit) and has same username pattern with 'DJ' at the start of it, possibly a WP:DUCK case at this point. Magitroopa (talk) 15:36, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Just added 74.96.187.96. Seems like this person has recently gotten interested in Hell's Kitchen as well, continuing to mention me (such as here and here). Possibly some more block evasion going on...
- As shown here, a similar Hell's Kitchen IP clearly said in their edit summary, "just a little editing done by yours truly, DJ "Devan Jax" Brimstrom", so highly likely all these accounts/IPs are sockpuppets/block evasions. Magitroopa (talk) 17:36, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- And I now have some off-wiki evidence showing that 74.96.187.96 is indeed block evasion/a sockpuppet... same message here and here as the one here from user 'DJBrimstorm'. All my previous info in this investigation should be enough, but pretty sure this off-wiki evidence now entirely verifies it is true. Magitroopa (talk) 17:52, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Just removed DJPrinceCharming- they are indeed a sockpuppet, but not to this person. See here. However, I am positive the unblocked user and IP are indeed DJ_Devilsman. Magitroopa (talk) 21:43, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- Clearly from this edit, the IP is indeed the same user. Note the title, DJ Brimstorm Masked Singer Fandom Block: infinite expiration date remove request. Magitroopa (talk) 16:36, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- FYI, the 74.96.187.96 IP was blocked yesterday: as I mentioned in my AIV reported here, this edit was enough to prove it was at least block evasion of 71.178.44.174. However, now looking at the edits of 74.96.187.96, DarkWariior's contributions seems to match up exactly, all of which are Hell's Kitchen related and even editing another article the IP also edited, BattleBots (season 10). This edit summary also mentions myself (yet again) and another Hell's Kitchen editor, Makro. Even this edit matches up almost exactly with this edit! That being said, seems like DarkWariior might be yet another sockpuppet/block evasion account, so I've added that account up top. Keeping the IP listed (even though it's now been blocked) just as a precaution. Might be useful to use links such as the interaction utility/timeline, so I'll have all accounts (even if already blocked) listed in there. Magitroopa (talk) 16:00, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

[edit]- CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - Please, compare those two. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- The sock account is too Stale and no checkuser data will be available, and I can't compare and confirm accounts to IP addresses. Declining CU... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:41, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

- RoySmith - Sorry! I meant DJ Devilsman. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:55, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- It's pretty clear these DJ Hellbringer is also the same person, based on editing history, writing style, timecard, etc. I'm going to move this to DarkWariior (as the oldest account), and indef/tag the two DJ socks. This seems like a fairly minor transgression, so I'll give DarkWariior just a short block to make sure they're aware of our socking rules. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:35, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

IP back after 3-month long block, definitely still confirmed to be the same person via this edit. Magitroopa (talk) 15:23, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- If it's no longer block evasion since the master account and IP it was doing block evasion from are both no longer blocked, is there anyway to get this user/IP at least blocked from editing my talk page or something? I don't wish to discuss anymore with them, and they keep coming back begging/whining to be unblocked from an off-Wiki website I blocked them from personally.

Note the username paired with 'Brimstorm' info previously discussed/mentioned at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DarkWariior/Archive#12 January 2021. Also now back at previously-blocked IP 74.96.187.96. Magitroopa (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Based on this, "Dmargi," edit, 2600:1003:B038:345E:0:0:0:0/64 may be related due to this edit. Magitroopa (talk) 17:34, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Also an FYI as to why the master account 'DarkWariior' is currently not blocked- this. However, based off of the same targeted articles, same Brimstorm as information as previous report (mentioned above) and other info, it's very clear this is yet another account from the same person, and they clearly have not learned of the, "socking rules"... Previous unblock requests + responses at User talk:74.96.187.96 should be noted as well. Magitroopa (talk) 19:43, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Should also be noted per User talk:DJBrimstorm, the user immediately engaged in disruptive edits/edit warring. At this point, the master account should probably be blocked, as well as this sock. Very clear it's the same person back to cause more trouble. Magitroopa (talk) 21:34, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- User is still actively editing despite having previous accounts blocked, as outlined above. Will anything be done here?... A month later and nothing. Magitroopa (talk) 22:39, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
