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.

- I added 96.57.52.66 for future WP:DUCK reference. Back in March 2024, 71.190.208.91 made reference to a previous WP Weather debate (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States tornadoes in May 2008). 71.190 did not comment in that discussion, however 96.57 did. 96.57 has also coincidentally not edited since January 2024, however, their last edits was on 2023–24 North American winter, which 71.190 edits. Andrew5 is also familiar with winter-storm articles. Also coincidentally, 96.57 and 71.190 never edited on the same day, but seem to edit the same articles (late-December 2023 to mid-January 2024), specifically a lot on that winter article. 96.57 shouldn't be blocked as they are inactive, but noting that DUCK connection for future references.
- 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.

- I've W:DUCK blocked the two IPs that are currently in use. They're fairly sticky so I've blocked them for a good spell. Closing.-- Ponyobons mots 21:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
