Regarding Onlygurlinthewurld, this is a brand new account that is altering genres on articles that were targets of prior socks:
- present sock vs. prior sock
- Present sock vs prior sock.
The listed IP reinstated much of a prior blocked sock's edit here (see recent past sock vs. the present IP's edit. Onlygurlinthewurld then immediately edited the article to make additional changes. The IP's editing history suggests it is a static IP that MJH has used sporatically going back to August of this year (also note the block log, so I am requesting a long-term block on this IP.
I also requested a CU to see if there are any sleepers readily apparent (that is, if a clerk or CU thinks a check would be helpful). Thank you. Aoi (青い) (talk) 18:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

- Note that Special:Contributions/80.175.171.150 and the sock listed above worked in tandem to make the same genre-warring edit, within a few minutes of each other.[1][2] This IP was blocked last August for the same stuff. Binksternet (talk) 18:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Although username is not themed unlike some others, but I do see obvious editing behaviour relating to other sock puppets (today's[3][4] compared with on 4 May. CheckUser is unlikely to hook up any other accounts at this point since it was last activated only two days ago. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:51, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

It could be an obvious sock because that they have edited previous articles where previous socks edited, including Doo Wop Hop and RnB-Hip-hop-soul. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 21:43, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Skalette appeared yesterday to engage immediately in genre-warring in music articles already plagued by MariaJaydHicky socks and IPs.[5][6][7] Skalette requested genre changes on a user talk page; the request asks for genres that would restore the preference of previous MJH socks.[8][9].
Checkuser requested to sweep for sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 13:51, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

All their edits are genre changes in articles about music.
Same articles targeted by Maria (note the inappropriate use of AnyDecentMusic as a source for music genres):
- Glassheart[10][11] (prior socks: [12][13][14][15])
- Against All Odds (N-Dubz album)[16][17] (prior socks: [18][19][20])
- Love.Live.Life[21][22] (prior socks: [23][24][25][26])

This user added an edit request at Talk:Iggy Azalea where also previous sock [31] used the same references as the edit request shown by this sock. [32] They added genres here [33] where IP sock [34] used the same source for R&B.
An IP [35] added an edit request on the Iggy Azalea talk page requesting to remove pop rap as a genre, but pop rap was repeatedly removed by sock RnB-Hip-hop-soul, and one of the genres on the edit request had sources (this source) which was also added by RnB-Hip-hop-soul and the first sock listed.TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 19:23, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Same pattern as prior socks. This is a new account that jumped straight into genrewarring, including at articles targeted by prior socks (see this edit by a prior IP sock versus this edit by the current user). After 4 days and exactly 10 edits, the user went to the semi-protected Tulisa article, which is a perennial target of MJH socks, and edited their preferred genres back in (see this edit by a prior CU-confirmed sock versus this edit by the present user.
Requesting a checkuser to also check for sleepers. Thank you. Aoi (青い) (talk) 19:48, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
