This user appears to have registered today, followed me to AFDs I recently edited/articles i recently edited and then showed up to the Phillips Poll AFD just to vote keep with similar rationale to the other socks and very similar mannerisms PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:49, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

• {{Inprogress}} - Girth Summit _(blether) 17:35, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
• {{confirmed}} to Robertsilver270. There are some other accounts on the same IPs, but behaviourally they look different, and there is something of a gap between edits. Blocking etc. Girth Summit _(blether) 17:43, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

yet another SPA here to promote the ever non-notable and spammy The Phillips Academy Poll PRAXIDICAE🌈 18:18, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

:Randyshawn significantly contributed and has a similar username to past socks (ie. firstlastname), and then we have what appears to be a sleeper SPA who suddenly appeared after not editing for 7 months, and never editing in the area that this article is in, just to show up and remove the speedy tag.

::I can vouch for the legitimacy of TheLonelyPather (as I have worked with him on projects in the past few years). Nicholas D. (talk) 20:42, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

:::Well that's interesting because the only edits you guys have in common are one each to The Phillips Academy Poll and Phillips Academy. Curious, isn't it? PRAXIDICAE🌈 20:51, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

::::I have written and edited other such articles (published by myself) that were worked on in conjunction with @TheLonelyPather such as Kwan Sung-sing. These were published by myself due to his being out of the country. I would advise you cease with the accusation of sockpuppetry, for it is entirely unfounded. Nicholas D. (talk) 21:21, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

:::::I've provided the evidence. PRAXIDICAE🌈 21:22, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

::::::Evidence of what exactly? That I've been busy with school the past year and haven't spent much time editing articles? Nicholas D. (talk) 21:26, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

:AT this point i'm not sure what's going on but there appears to be some significant meat/sock puppetry going on with users like the one above showing up out of nowhere after 6 months of no edits, many of which inexplicably have GIPBE/ PRAXIDICAE🌈 20:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

::The GIPBE/ issue stemmed from travel to mainland China and the usage of several VPNs. Further, the issue has been resolved and is thus not an active GIPBE/. Nicholas D. (talk) 21:40, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

• Randyshawn is {{confirmed}} to Pallster, blocked (suspected) socks {{checkuser|Robertsilver270}} and {{checkuser|Jimapple46}}, and sleeper {{checkuser|Catholicbob}}. Vergilreader geolocates right on top of them (same smallish city) but I don't have them on the same ISP or device. Not currently willing to check NCD2004 or TheLonelyPather, confirmed accounts {{bnt}}. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:54, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
• At this point, none of the unblocked accounts have edited in several weeks, so there's no urgency to do anything. We can always come back later and take another look, but closing for now. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:15, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
