Edit history would suggest this is a [[WP:DUCK]] of Andrew5. Between 2023-24, they have made less than 50 edits, consisting of sports (baseball) and weather edits, even on the same day (20 May 2023). This is exactly the lookout on [[WP:LTA/A5]]. Coincidentally (DUCK-coincidence), [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:December_2021_Midwest_derecho_and_tornado_outbreak&diff=prev&oldid=1225658962 their first edit] in several months happen to also be telling others to discount my !vote in a requested move discussion. This is also common Andrew5 behavior, with either personal attacks against other weather editors (plus a few admins) or inserting themselves in discussions in an attempt to say several long-term editors are stupid/irrelevent. Even if they have not edited recently when this SPI is reviewed, if the reviewing administrator feels this is Andrew5 DUCK evidence, I would still appreciate a block or some agreement statement at least, given they are involved in an ongoing RM discussion.

100.12.36.99's first edits in the last two years was to nominate [[Elizabeth Leitman]] for deletion. Majority of their edits in 2022 were weather-related plus an edit on [[Long Island City]] (NYC, where Andrew5 is located). Coincidentally, I started this article and Andrew5's latest IPs went on a shpeal about several articles (all of which I started) needing to be deleted. Both this AfD request and the one tried for [[2022 Pembroke–Black Creek tornado]] were posted on [[Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion]] coincidentally a day apart. 174.216.209.32's only edit was to PROD that article. In fact, 174.216.209.32's PROD is the exact same and idential AfD reasoning that 100.12.36.99 put out. Also coincidentally, both of these IPs started edited mere hours after Andrew5 was blocked on 3 IPs. I feel confident on a DUCK report for 100.12.36.99, however, 174.216.209.32 was listed more for future reference of being suspected Andrew5.

*So um what exactly did Andrew5 do wrong? Those edits look fine, not disruptive, quite helpful and productive actually. Is it just because he’s “socking?” Well, SchroCat blatantly engaged in abusive sockpuppetry but is still allowed to edit. In fact he never had to serve the sanctions that the community decided he deserved. Why doesn’t he get blocked?? Maybe it’s time to realize that Andrew5 is actually an enthusiastic contributor to wikipedia… or else block SchroCat. Can’t be treating certain people differently.[[User:Defjotme|Defjotme]] ([[User talk:Defjotme|talk]]) 12:21, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Along-term abuse case exists at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Andrew5.

This SPI case may involve cross-wiki abuse. Please consider reporting the results on Meta; checkusers can send an email to the interwiki checkuser mailing list if required.

A clerk or checkuser recommends that new socks in this case not receive tags per WP:DENY.

This case's socks should have their talk page and email access revoked due to abuse.
