{{sock list|1=69.123.50.215|tools_link=yes}}<!-- Add more accounts or IPs to this template as needed -->


(69.123.50.215) There second edit today (1 minute after their first edit today) was to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=June_2021_North_American_storm_complex&diff=prev&oldid=1216189969 complete a merge], which Andrew5 was confirmed (via blocked-sock 208.253.89.50) to have participated in along with a possible 2nd DUCK account. Their edit summary commented about that talk page discussion, where only 2 actual users commented + 2 Andrew5 comments. 69.123.50.215 is also working on [[Draft:December 2023 nor'easter]], which is a common theme for Andrew5 socks — Being aware of draft-space weather articles. Seems very DUCKY here, given Andrew5 having confirmed knowledge of that merge discussion and then an unregistered user actually merging that discussion after only 4 registered users (2 commenters, the admin closer, and myself) seemingly having knowledge of said merge discussion…Also the 2nd unregistered user was suspected by myself along with the admin to have maybe been Andrew5, who coincidentally opened that merge discussion. I.e. based on DUCK evidence: Andrew5 wanted to merge the article, commented in it, had others agree, and finally today actually merge that article via a new IP address based on a talk page discussion which had 49 views in the last month.

Suspected sockpuppets

Their first edit since 2007 was to reinstate a SOCK reversion edit saying “The sock is right though”. DUCK block needed on Andrew5 sock here. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 13:47, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Their first edit since January 5 was to yet again revert a SOCK reversion edit for that merge discussion. Easy DUCK account of Andrew5. The account also edit warred for it with Fantastic Mr. Fox. The account was also previously blocked for 1 month for ban evasion. Given previous block and edit warring behavior, requesting the 2-year block which previous Andrew5 IPs have received.
