DUCKY chances seem high that this is Andrew5. Their first edit on Wikipedia was in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/2023_Little_Rock_tornado&diff=prev&oldid=1217552921 an AFD], which is currently nominated for a TNT due to SOCK copyright violations. A confirmed SOCK from {{noping|Lokicat3345}} did edit the article, however, several IP users have also edited the article, including one of the large copyright violations. Andrew5 and/or Lokicat3345 are often is aware of non-mainspace things (like AfDs or drafts). My senses also went up as that AFD comment (their first edit) stated “{{tq|'''We''' are becoming way too lax in giving individual tornadoes article}} (emphasis mine), followed by them listed two articles (a GA and a GAN) which I created. A brand-new editor should not be that familiar with things, let alone trying to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2022_Pembroke–Black_Creek_tornado&diff=prev&oldid=1217553098 AfD] an active GAN two minutes later. This is definitely a SOCK of one of the two weather-sock masters, I just don’t know exactly which. Andrew5 is my gut due to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:2022_Pembroke–Black_Creek_tornado&diff=prev&oldid=1217553960 edits] like this mentioning policy and things like a behind-the-scenes effort of WikiProject Weather to reassess GA articles. No new editor should even be aware of that process, but Andrew5 100% would and DUCK evidence from previous SOCKs back that idea up.

*Well, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Edit&diff=prev&oldid=1217554670 there is the simple] near-confirmed DUCK [[WP:LTA/A5]] evidence. The IP just requested an edit to be made on the SPI, which matches Andrew5s LTA and SPI talk page history (last bullet point of the LTA). This occurred less than 5 minutes after the SPI was filed.
