Both master and suspected sock have a fixation on cities and towns in Washington state the Pacific Northwest and the erroneous and persistent addition/removal of categories in bulk without explanation. CU please also check for sleepers. General Ization 04:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Fixation on cities and towns of Pacific Northwest, application of false categories, per master and other socks. General Ization 02:57, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

- Blocked by Bongwarrior. Tagging and closing. @General Ization: I assume you wanted CU to confirm this sock, which is now moot, but if you wanted a sleeper check, that can be considered (let me know on my talk page or open a new SPI). Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 02:38, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Clerk declined – After some consideration, I'm going to decline the sleeper check because of how recent the last CU was (10 June) and that no sleepers have been found in archives by a CU (including the time I last endorsed for sleepers). I am moving this to the "decline" pile (from "closed") so another clerk can look at this before closing this (to see if they would disagree and endorse for sleepers).

- A cursory check of Template:Skagit County, Washington leads me to believe this may qualify as LTA. We have similar weird edits there going back to at least August 2014 , and from September 2014, this edit by a CU confirmed sock of Brightify whose contribs elsewhere go back to October 2012.

Topics edited are of the usual sort -- alphabetic systems , Washington State county templates , and children's TV shows . The edits are test/vandalism in some cases, following Vodkapoise usual behavior.

- Just thought I'd add here, while researching for KrakatoaKatie's question, I came across Seoulaglow (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who definitely has the VP signature; no other individual has been so devoted to hoaxing Western Washington county cities/towns like this.

WP:DUCK hoaxing/twiddling of businesses and children's television. Specifics follow.
First: Hoaxing/vandalism to Pacific Northwest businesses, Office Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond.
- REI , Costco are Seattle based companies
- Office Depot this can be considered VP signature editing pattern
- Bed Bath & Beyond . Bed Bath & Beyond has been vandalized in 2016 exclusively by a string of VP socks (also prior to 2016 by Brightify's Banclarknn) and now by this account.
Second: this account used to twiddle Counterfeit Cat which was also target of a CU confirmed VP sock .
Other: Home Depot was also vand by this account and by suspected VP sock Erwinemil of course they also vandalized Office Depot in the signature style . More unlikely intersections with Erwinemil include Pier 1 Imports and Bordertown (see editor interaction ). Brianhe (talk) 07:10, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Vodkapoise/Brightify hallmarks as noted in Brightify LTA. Interest in PNW retail such as Kasala (furniture) and Albert Lee Appliance, vandalizing Bed Bath & Beyond . Brianhe (talk) 05:18, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- Added since initial filing: Gordon Brothers , another signature target noted in Brightify LTA.
- Other signature behavior includes hoax retail chain closure and bizarre incorporation of children's TV show into unrelated topic .
- Prior CU-confirmed sock made nom for deletion of well known entity, followed immediately by un-filled boilerplate contest of own deletion . This sock has repeated the behavior exactly . - Brianhe (talk) 18:46, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

I added another recent sock we missed, User:Nicetints, just for the record. Also, Berean Hunter, if I understand correctly, the only reason you want to keep this case open is to merge it with Knowledge:Sockpuppet investigations/Brightify? Because I think that was proposed once already and rejected. If it would be too complicated, then I recommend closing this and simply being done with it. There are lots of LTA's comprised of multiple separate yet related SPI's, and that's okay. Sro23 (talk) 17:51, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- Nicetints, yes, obviously part of the LTA: children's TV ,
hoaxretail company closures and fake metropolitan areas . Colby, Kansas metropolitan area in this case is a bit unusual because it's not the Pacific Northwest, and the store closure wasn't a hoax, for once. - Bri (talk) 18:06, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

- Clerk note: For now, I'm indeffing the sock with a tag. We could choose to keep it open for the time being to continue investigation or close it for now but keep it on our radar in case we need to merge this to the LTA account. I would like to have gotten a CU but what I see in the archive is stale. I'm just wanting to be sure that we're sure before going with a merge...it's harder to undo once done. This is a behavioral call so more opinions would help. Bri, do you want to keep it open or consider for merging later?
— Berean Hunter (talk) 22:13, 20 April 2017 (UTC)- From their behavior I have no doubt this is the LTA. If you think waiting is best, then by all means; I'm in no hurry to close. - Bri (talk) 00:10, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
