Suspected sockpuppets

By checking earlier contributions, I can see most of them are related to TV articles such as Dance Dance Dance (British TV series) and Just the Two of Us (TV series), which, as far as I know, follows the same pattern as previous socks found in the archive, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A00:23EE:1398:4A69:1FF:328A:8777:67. However, I'm not entirely sure as I have never seen this master editing a football article before so I am requesting CheckUser to see if there is block evasion going on by this person or someone else.

@Ponyo:, I can see that you've already CU blocked this account above as a sock of a different user instead of ZestyLemonz who I thought was the master instead of "Biuc" as you've already tagged the user page. Therefore, this SPI needs closing, thanks. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 06:58, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't keep track of all of these UK-based sockpuppets. Bgsu98 (Talk) 07:21, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This brand-new account is attempting to add the same material to Dancing on Ice added yesterday by User:Hello20blake. This is the same sockpuppet User:Ponyo has been dealing with. Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note to Clerks: I am compiling the evidence (and uncovering additional socks), will complete this shortly. The WordsmithTalk to me 20:34, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how much of this is sockpuppetry/hoax, and how much is UPE or meatpuppetry. This sock drawer might be from a recruiting/talent agency per [1]. I stumbled upon it through MfDs on Draft:Bickes Limited and Draft:Alex Bickerton, and it has evidently been a problem on simplewiki as well. Bickes Limited links 202bjsjsnsj to previous Biuc sock Hello20blake. 202bjsjsnsj is linked to 23Charles23 via Draft:Gladys II.

92.40.201.102 created Draft:Saturday Night Takeaway and edited Draft:The Companions (Doctor Who), which was also edited by Biudjjsks and 2020bihu. Related draft Draft:Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway (series 20) was created by sockmaster Biuc. The IPV6 address is linked to the rest of the cluster via Draft:Alex Bickerton and to Starklinson via Draft:Christian Contreras. Starklinson is linked to 002lu via Louis Tomlinson, Faith in the Future (Louis Tomlinson album) and Faith in the Future World Tour.

There are also a bunch of edits to several of these drafts and pages from the 92.40.200.0/23 range, but that's obviously massive and I can't even begin to sort it out or narrow the range further. I believe there are definitely plenty of other accounts here, but the connection between them is too tenuous for me to list here based on behavioral evidence alone. Checkuser is requested to root out the other accounts (and confirm I'm not imagining these connections, I feel crazy putting all this together).
