Was recently indefinitely blocked for disruptive edits on anime related articles, has since jumped on another account to request unblock [1], but then changed names altogether to continue editing [2] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:12, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Checkuser requested to make certain, and to look for sleepers. For completeness, this list of Oregon IPs and usernames includes some that have already been blocked as socks of TyMega, and some that have been blocked as socks of each other. The non-stale recent activity in the last three months has been from Strawfan, Watdef19, AWtheme, BAWdefault, 47.224.142.45, 97.90.55.226, 68.118.35.90, 156.19.198.138, Voiceoverfan97 and PatrickStewartfan90. Binksternet (talk) 07:53, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- A few page histories show extensive edit warring, socking and disruption from this person. Take a look at Dee Bradley Baker filmography, Danny Trejo filmography, Christopher Lloyd, and Bruce Campbell for examples. BAWdefault is not blocked yet, so here is some evidence connecting BAWdefault to the others. BAWdefault's first-ever edit was a small note "Grouped under 'Voice Actors'" addition to the Troy Baker bio,[3] just a few minutes after Oregon IP 47.224.142.45 added some material including the note "Grouped as 'Voice Acting'". Oregon IP 47.224.142.45 and BAWdefault continued to trade edits every few minutes, building on each other's work. They did the same thing at the Armin Shimerman bio on November 6–8, and on the Malcolm McDowell bio on November 9. Of course the BAWdefault name is similar to the blocked sock Adefault.

TyMega jumps his block again his block using its IP to add the same occupations of the actors using the term actor and voice actor to several articles including the most recent James Arnold Taylor 1 but his comparison of pattern is everything, the IP also added the same terms without indicating sources that say that one of them appears series and live-action movies 123, although I have reviewed many of the articles that I have corrected at times and deleted these terms, but unfortunately Ty Mega insists on putting them back the same terms in each opening sentence as in previous editions just like his sockpuppet Octoprey, which has the same pattern of edits than the IP I have mentioned. 148.101.43.191 (talk) 21:20, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

- Clerk note: I looked into this a bit more. All of the IPs in the archive geolocate to one small area in south-coastal Oregon. 73.49.197.16 is in Delaware, and does not appear to be a proxy. I agree there's extensive topic overlap, so there may be some connection, but it's apparently not just plain logged-out block evasion (unless they moved). -- RoySmith (talk) 18:28, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Anonymous edits from this mobile IP started yesterday and while most do not seem to be the usual Jinnifer edits or interests, one particular one, with the usual Spider-man being the most popular Marvel character nonsense, stands out.[19] NJZombie (talk) 00:39, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

edit- Behaviourally this does not look like Jinnifer, but the editing pattern struck me as unusual for an IP user so I looked further into it. The IP (actually the whole /48 range) appears to be a sock of WP:Sockpuppet investigations/TyMega. See e.g. [20] and restorations of sock edits: [21][22], [23][24]. I've moved the case there.In the process of looking into the IP range I also came across 011Default, Default01100, and Default01010101 who have similar usernames to confirmed TyMega sock KSIKAdrianPiromanTomKennyDefault011 and Default0110 (who was blocked for DE, not socking, but is obviously a sock based on behaviour, e.g. [25][26]). These accounts have edited the same articles as TyMega socks, each other, and/or the IP range (e.g. [27][28][29]). I've added these accounts to the sock list and Clerk endorsed for a sleeper check as recent checks found many socks ([30]). Obviously, there will be no comment on the IP.

I don't think this is necessary, their sockpuppets are already blocked and locked pretty quickly. For example, Default012Google1211 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) was reported to SRG within one minute of creation and was locked less than 3 hours later.
