Clearly there is a misunderstanding about the definition of a serial comma. I did not add a serial comma. I added the comma required after a parenthetical. And the word hoogerhigh doesn't even mean anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:e000:35c6:c200:c522:44a:e109:f43f (talk • contribs)

Hi, I'm DatGoodDude342. I sincerely apologize for the addition of a serial comma. I was pretty sure that this was the correct thing to do, grammar-wise. I honestly didn't realize that I was doing anything wrong, and will refrain from doing this in the future. I am a fairly new addition to the Wikipedia community, and I'm still trying to learn about, well, everything.

:A large number of accounts have been set up in the past few weeks with very similar editing patterns, editing multiple random articles with trivial changes, adding commas where they are inappropriate, and pointless wikilinks.

- This is a waste of my time. I've checked 9 accounts thus far, and the only one that is {{confirmed}} is Come on down and see. These accounts have not been scrutinized properly before throwing them in a very long list. There may be accounts that are socks of each other and unrelated to the master, but I'm not doing that kind of fishing without evidence (diffs) tying them together. I've put the status back to CU. Any CheckUser can do what they want, but I suggest no more checking until this list is pared down and evidence is given for each user left on the list. Whether the filer wants to do that or a clerk, that's not up to me. Don't bother, obviously, with the accounts through Atkins Cafa.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:21, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Same steadfast adherence to putting commas everywhere, despite the composition of the sentence. Robotically follows strictest interpretation of MOS and copies and pastes it, however not all sentences make sense if you put a comma behind every date for example. Also puts Oxford commas everywhere. General nuisance editing behavior and has ducked block dozens of times. I know this vandal largely through {{u|Ebyabe}}'s diligent work.

Typical persistence of needless insertion of Oxford comma, stretching back years, largely at music and aircraft-related articles, including favoured target of several years, Nashville tuning (high strung). Other needless MOS changes. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:04, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Per this recent unaddressed report (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Hoggardhigh/Archive#21_March_2020), typical persistence of needless insertion of Oxford comma, stretching back years, largely at music and aircraft-related articles, including favoured target of several years, Nashville tuning (high strung). Other needless MOS changes. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:14, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
:Sure, and apologies for not listing some in the submission.
:Regarding the puppetmaster, User talk:Hoggardhigh is replete with discussion about their forcing of the issue regarding the serial comma, with some individual edits listed but to give a few examples, see: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&diff=prev&oldid=776290186], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_Thomas&diff=prev&oldid=776292598] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nashville_tuning_(high_strung)&diff=775947451&oldid=775936924] (amongst numerous examples in that article's history, under that user name, other names and IPs, identified in rv edit summaries as being Hoggardhigh).
:The new sock made such an edit at the latter article: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nashville_tuning_(high_strung)&diff=946643836&oldid=937578049]. Other examples include [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jazz_fusion&diff=prev&oldid=946644637], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wayne_Krantz&diff=prev&oldid=947121796] (same article also targeted by a previous IP sock), [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grumman_American_AA-1&diff=prev&oldid=939957373], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grumman_American_AA-1&diff=prev&oldid=939922767] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Journey_(band)&diff=prev&oldid=939953571].

{{ping|Mutt Lunker}} In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
- At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
- At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
- In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.

The IP sock made a series of Oxford comma insertions such edits at: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=IDW_Publishing&diff=prev&oldid=971880307]. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Plumb_(singer)&diff=prev&oldid=971874986], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J57_(rapper)&diff=prev&oldid=971872782], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Amazing_Rhythm_Aces&diff=prev&oldid=971833245] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Amazing_Rhythm_Aces&diff=prev&oldid=971833060], to name the most recent. They appear to have adopted a new strategy for the Nashville tuning article, i.e. the removal of the word "and" which they previously persisted in preceding with a serial comma: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nashville_tuning_(high_strung)&diff=prev&oldid=971888817], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nashville_tuning_(high_strung)&diff=prev&oldid=971880889]

- {{clerknote}} {{ping|Callanecc}} you looked at this last, and blocked 179.53.163.135 for a month. With this new IP, it would be 179.53.0.0/16, which seems like a big range to block for any significant amount of time. Thoughts? -- RoySmith (talk) 12:26, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
