I observed the abuse filter logs, and noticed that {{noping|Mayson.Jones}} was disallowed by edit filters from making changes to other editors' user pages. The user's first edits were attempts to add sock puppetry templates to the user space of other accounts. This is obviously suspicious, as this user is definitely not new. I also noted that a discussion at ANI involving this user was occurring here. After investigating the technical data, the list of users is a result of the investigation and findings.

I just declined a check against Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CafeGurrier66, but looking closer at the matter, I think there's a case to be made for one against Awolf58/Mrbeastmodeallday. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:United_States&diff=1097220738&oldid=1097188301 This edit] removing MBMAD's name at Talk:United States is incredibly suspicious, and the subsequent [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1097224674 targeting] of CactiStaccingCrane, who had been professing strength in the face of MBMAD's disruption, is in-line with MBMAD's recent harassment of various perceived enemies. The generally CIR-ish behavior in projectspace is as fitting for MBMAD as it is for CafeGurrier. Focus is on articles about countries or other major topics and their talk pages, like MBMAD. Many edits adding links to "X in " on country articles [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yemen&diff=prev&oldid=1095245738] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=El_Salvador&diff=prev&oldid=1095250589] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Norway&diff=prev&oldid=1097104641], much like MBMAD [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1087751989] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1087751665] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1087751740]. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 06:49, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Special:Diff/1099477941 and Special:Diff/1099483806 look quite suspicious. Two accounts created less than an hour apart, making these almost identical edits to talk pages of more established users (likely to be returning user(s) in some form). The former account's edits also loosely follow some patterns of other blocked socks – hopefully this doesn't keep spiraling out of control, but there could be a broader connection.

:::The editor with a history as "MrBeastModeAllDay" was angered by a couple of my grammatical changes, then followed me/reverted me under a similar username to mine, "Mayson.Jones." He had a later dispute with several other regular editors of "United States" over the term manifest destiny, then adopted that name as a new moniker. Today he reverted an old edit of mine, and in his edit summary (strangely) berated me because another editor had reverted him. Mason.Jones (talk) 16:01, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

  • ::Thanks, I pulled TPA from the two where I forgot to check the box. The header doesnt differentiate between TPA and email, and usually it's set only because of talk page abuse{{snd}}I simply went with matching Tamzin's settings for the account that prompted my check (no TPA, email untouched). No objections to you or anyone else pulling email if that's what's recommended for this case. For what it's worth, there seem to also be quite a few accounts in the archive (inluding CU-blocked ones) that still have access to both. --Blablubbs (talk) 22:10, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
  • :::I added the no-TPA flag because of Awolf's long history of trolling and timewastng on talkpages; but at the same time, he's not exactly the sort using talkpages to post death threats against the blocking admin or such, so even I haven't always remembered to be 100% consistent with my own recommendation. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 22:41, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

The usual.

  • Hmm I don't see it: the attempted edit (caught by the filter) looks like basic incompetence and carelessness to me, not something that Awolf is known for. Drmies (talk) 14:52, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
  • :{{Ping|Drmies}} Looking a bit deeper, it seems like you may be right. JiafeiInformated had made a post to the Teahouse within a few hours after Jamaal5 had posted there. I searched and found a mildly popular TikToker named Ayaan-Jamaal5 (the attempted edit made by JiafeiInformated mentioned that "Jamal is a tiktok star"), so I think JiafeiInformated recognized the name after seeing Jamaal5 on the Teahouse page and mistook the account's user page as article space or something. Kind of an odd circumstance. Regardless, this can be closed. Uhai (talk) 18:39, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
  • ::Sorry to butt in, but "Jamal" is also an pseudonym for a caricature of a young black male, and is also very, very popular on TikTok too. Just a possibly when they mentioned Jamal as being a star. Hope this helps {{u|Uhai}}. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 19:47, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Closed per above. Although account should be indeffed for regular disruptive editing if it makes (or attempts) further edits like these. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 20:28, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
