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.

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.

– This SPI case is closed and will be archived shortly by an SPI clerkorcheckuser.

Suspected sockpuppets

Immediately resumed prior behavior for which they had been blocked. Noah, BSBATalk 15:39, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

For the 71... IP, it has added trivial content about airport/road closures into recent tornado outbreak/winter storm articles (here and here), has edited multiple sports-related articles since December 2023, and edited Andrew5's LTA page shortly after attacks took place on Meta, linking to them here. The IP has also edited Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Samlaptop85213, an LTA page one of his socks created (here). It has been intermittently active for multiple months in the same topic areas of sports and weather. For the 69... IP, it has edited 2 recent tornado outbreak articles today, and edited several sports-related articles on teams and players in football. His linking to certain policies while making edits, like this one, as well as the particular topics the IP has edited of sports and weather since July 2023 also leads me to believe this is an Andrew5 sock.

Also noting 71.190 is picture-perfect Andrew5 sock. Within their last 50 edits, we have sport edits, winter storm edits, hurricane edits, tornado edits, and most importantly, even an edit on WP:LTA/A5, which funny enough is LTA DUCK evidence as Andrew5 is familiar with that specific behind-the-scenes page as well as this SPI page.
