It might just be a coincidence, but some of these edits seem oddly similar to that of another troper I reported a few months ago, jessicaotiesha. They've got the same angry, sexist edge to their edits and a tendency to resort to borderline-Ron the Death Eater.

The only real point against that is that ashaunti has been editing since long before jessicaotiesha was suspended in July 2018.

On the other hand there's not a lot of overlap, either. On a quick skim it seems that one is often editing when the other is quiet.

If it's a sock puppet, then it could mean they were initially using the spare account to agree with themselves.

Is an IP check in order?

Might as well, still calls for a tap even if they aren't a sock though even if just for the grammar and indentation issues going on that are happening in addition to the possible bias.

There are a few IP matches. Boing!

I've deleted all the Simpsons-related examples they added that I could find.

Any overlap with rlomax15? Their grammar is similarly dodgy, they linked the same site as ashaunti (nohomers.net, I have no idea if it's a well-known site or not), and their only edits since 2015 are negative edits about Lisa Simpson.

ETA: Actually, there's definitely something hinky going on here. rlomax15's only edits before this spree was four years ago, to a fanfic that both ashaunti and jess edited.

And I'm pretty sure half the contributors to the fic's WMG page might be the same person.

Mrs.Barch make similarly misogynistic Simpsons edits (and similar edits on other pages.

Monique.mudie seems to do the same.

ashleybud does the same, dodgy grammar and all.

So... yeah. That's a thing. Haven't gone any further but the overlap between those accounts is incredibly questionable.

Oof. Several of these accounts just HAVE to be alts, considering they've all got very similar (if not outright exactly the same) styles of editing (in particular their penchant for run-on sentences) and the same sexism-related Single-Issue Wonk some of the other ones have been banned for.

Overlap confirmed, and bounced.

Okay, going over the rest of the WMG page's history:

noahheath12 might be the same guy, he's only edited that page

Could we get a check on Hyp3rB14d3 as well?

The rest are either known tropers, or their actual decent editing patterns and use of grammar make me pretty sure they're not the same person.

So yeah, there's a lot of cleanup to be done. Between the half dozen or so confirmed accounts, the bad edits are pretty pervasive.

Positive hit on noahheath12. No conclusive data on the other account.

Could we get a check for hubison?

Nothing conclusive other than PM-ing me asking if they can add back an example ashaunti made that I removed and general dodgy grammar (which might be enough for a tap on the shoulder itself). A few bad examples, but not ashaunti's normal wonks.

EDIT: Nope, spoke too soon. They're definitely tied to ashaunti, what with filling out a Darth Wiki page ashaunti made.

Can I go ahead and cutlist that Darth Wiki page?

Yes. They were an old sock and have been bounced.

Would it be safe to say that Darth Wiki pages for any permanently banned tropers can be safely added to the cutlist?
