Almost all their edits are genre changes/genre warring in articles about music, especially addition of R&B[1][2][3][4] (prior socks: [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]).

Addition of R&B in a infobox in which the only genre adequately confirmed in is pop[13] (Maria hates seeing pop as only genre in a infobox: [14][15][16][17][18][19]).

Both users edited the article Renaissance (Beyoncé album)[20][21][22].

Michrlle LOVES to shop changed their username to Midnight Luvva after 16 edits. Note the similarity to blocked sock Michelle LOVES to shop who also edited the same article. Midnight Luvva made ten edits to attain autoconfirmed status, then jumped into the contested Renaissance (Beyoncé album) article. They quickly chalked up 4RR, restoring previous sock edits.[23][24]

The IP went straight to an article at which MariaJaydHicky was active, restoring the same genre edit.[25][26] More of the same at another article, in both cases citing Drowned in Sound, although with different URLs to adapt to the website getting archived.[27][28][29]

Addition of R&B in the article A.K.A. (album)[30] (prior socks: [31][32])

Edit in the article Jason Derulo[33]:

• Placing R&B first (prior socks: [34][35][36][37])
• new user adding way too advanced templates (prior socks: [38][39][40])

Other genre changes using advanced parameters [41]][42].

Genre change (+ placing R&B first) writing a misleading edit summary[43][44] (prior socks: [45][46]).

Same M.O. as prior socks: making 10 (mostly genrewarring) edits and waiting a few days, then genrewarring at Tulisa once becoming autoconfirmed.

Obvious case based on behavior. Checkuser not needed.

IP 2.124.222.213 made the same edits as previous socks at the page It's About Time (Christina Milian album).[213] After being repeatedly reverted, the IP stopped edit-warring and new user Timeless-for-me resumed the same activity.[214]

The album article has a long history of UK-based IPs and socks trying to add the R&B genre. One of these was Special:Contributions/2A02:C7C:7B18:3A00:8B2:80E9:B613:50C[215] which got rangeblocked as Special:Contributions/2A02:C7C:7B18:3A00:0:0:0:0/64. Another one is Special:Contributions/151.230.28.253 which immediately got blocked for just one edit.[216] Blocked socks who made the same edit include User:3rd St. Saint, User:Stlishminxx and User:R'n'B Playa. Stlishminxx was blocked naming MariaJaydHicky. Binksternet (talk) 22:59, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Almost all of their edits are music genre changes in the infoboxes of R&B or hip hop related articles.

In their first edits they were already using advanced templates[221][222][223][224] (prior socks: [225][226][227][228])

Among their earliest edits were restorations of edits of Maria's sockpuppets that had previously been reverted[229][230] (Socks that had made the edits: [231][232])

Sparkliieee was silent for a month and a half and started writing as soon as Ms. Amerykah was blocked as Maria's sockpuppet. They added R&B in the infobox of the article A Girl like Me (Rihanna album)[258] (prior socks: [259][260][261][262][263][264][265])

Kimpossible2023 hastened to restore Sparkliieee's edits in the article A Girl like Me (Rihanna album)[266]

"Still counts"[267] (prior socks: [268][269])

Kimpossible2023 included the R&B genre in the infobox of the article The Sweetest Days using a source that confirmed (not even very explicitly) both R&B and pop[270]: this behavior reflects Maria's obsession with the R&B genre and disdain for the pop genre, as described in Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/MariaJaydHicky.

This IP address has edit warred and had received a warning about it from Binksternet about 2 months ago, so that also might be an sign of sockpuppetry because that Maria's sockpuppets can easily edit war. They have also added the unsourced genres back, and I have reverted them. But, I am not sure if this is really a sock because that their contributions tell me that they have actually edited on some articles that are not really used by Maria's sockpuppets, so I do not know if, or is.

Liscious2k24 was blocked yesterday as a sock after obvious genre-warring behavior. After gaining autoconfirmed privileges, Iggyiggzis followed with much the same edit at the semi-protected Iggy Azalea biography, trying once again to replace the pop rap genre with plain hip hop, using similar wording in the edit summary.[292][293]

After checking the page history of Iggy Azalea plus following the directions on the block log of Iggyiggzis and the tag of the user page of Pink Friday 2.0 Roman Reloaded, I can see that the account operator may be MariaJaydHicky which is where this SPI is located. The 14 March and today's look suspicious in my view. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

• Yes, this is MJH's typical behavior: a brand new account focused solely on genrewarring. Upon becoming autoconfirmed, they began edit warring at Tulisa, which is a perennial target of MJH socks. Compare this edit by a prior blocked sock versus this edit by the present user. Aoi (青い) (talk) 21:40, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

  Shall we put the CheckUser box on since you've requested that before realising I've added in this report before you did? Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:42, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

  I added another suspected sock to the list. Same MO: new account, genrewarring, targeting some of the master's prior targets. See this edit made under an IP compared to this edit by the sock. Thanks Iggy the Swan, good idea. I am requesting a CU since there are probably other accounts out there. Aoi (青い) (talk) 06:57, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

• The second user mentioned is also rapidly reverting my edits, when they are obviously socks. In one of their edits, they removed Europop as a genre. When I let them know about this in their talk page, they seem to get so upset about it and say in their edit summaries that they are not. I only asked them to come here to give a full explanation to explain why they think they are not a suspected sock of Maria. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 16:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  Anyways, I am done dealing with their mess, like them refusing to talk to me. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 16:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

• I added a third sock, DudleyinHorsham. This is another new account that has jumped straight into genrewarring, targeting the usual articles. See, for example, this prior sock's edit versus current user's edit and this prior sock's edit versus current user's edit. Aoi (青い) (talk) 07:45, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

  Yeah it looks obvious. If this does not stop, admins may have to protect these affected pages further than semi. Unfortunately, there is more edits made after your comment. p.s. the section made below by Binksternet is irrelevant given the sock reported is definitely part of this section. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 12:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

  Also: it is claimed by the current "third sock" here says that "DollysOnMyMind" is a sock, given the edit summary starts with "Rv sock," though who knows if that is true or not regarding possible sock puppetry here or elsewhere. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 13:01, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

  They may be accusing them of being User:Giubbotto non ortodosso. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 14:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

  It’s not true. She’s just blabbering nonsense. Valddlac (talk) 15:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

  I was also accused as a Sockpuppet by RnB-hip-hop soul and I literally had a full conversation with the third suspected one, so I was just guessing that because the first suspect accused DollysOnMyMind as a sock of Giubbotto non Ortodosso. Here is some edit summaries I found [294], [295], [296] repeating the same edit summary TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 15:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

• I added two IP socks who undid DollysOnMyMind's edits on The Sweetest Days and Future History (album). They are using AllMusic as a source for genres, what I recently told RnB-Hip-hop soul not to use. I changed back the order how it was before. They also seem to change genres on where two socks edited. Here is some proof I found [297], [298], [299], [300], [301] (using another IP) TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 15:05, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Kepin' it FUNKY and two IPs from the UK pushed the R&B genre into Cowboy Carter in the same manner as recently blocked sock DinaRFranks.[308][309][310] The style is the same as previous MariaJaydHicky socks.

Regarding Onlygurlinthewurld, this is a brand new account that is altering genres on articles that were targets of prior socks:

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.

This user added an edit request at Talk:Iggy Azalea where also previous sock [353] used the same references as the edit request shown by this sock. [354] They added genres here [355] where IP sock [356] used the same source for R&B.

An IP [357] 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.

Upon reaching 10 edits, they edited Tulisa (which is semi-protected and a perennial target of MJH socks) to restore PRW42581356's prior edit (see this edit by PRW42581356 versus this edit by the present user). (I am not requesting a CU because a check was done two days ago so I'm not sure if it's worth doing another one now, but I defer to the judgment of the CheckUsers and clerks.) Thank you.

Almost all their edits are genre changes in articles about music, especially inclusion of the R&B genre or genre changes in R&B-related articles.

They use advanced templates since first edits[360][361]

New user whose edits consist solely of genrewarring. At least four of the five articles edited so far were targets of prior socks:

• prior sock and current user
• prior sock and current user

• prior sock, prior sock and current user, current user.

Another user added Special:Contributions/151.230.148.195 to the list after I opened this report. The IP seems like a duck as it restored an edit that a recently blocked sock tried to make less than 24 hours before. However, I understand that checkusers can't do much publicly with IP addresses, so please note that my CU request is limited only to the named account.

Almost all of their edits are genre changes in music-related articles, especially the inclusion of R&B genre in infoboxes.

From the first edits they use advanced templates[385].

New account whose contributions consist largely of genrewarring.

Like prior accounts, this account began targeting semi-protected edits as soon as it became autoconfirmed, going after Cowboy Carter. See edit by prior sock and edit by this user.

Other edits have been to long-standing target articles, such as here: prior sock vs current user's edit.

Fleurpeur's first and only edit was to add a genre and a named reference,[400] showing knowledge of wiki markup. Years prior, socks of MariaJaydHicky had been fiddling with the genre of the same article.[401][402][403]

MariaJaydHicky recently began to use IPs from Turkey. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#MariaJaydHicky_and_Turkish_IPs which lists a bunch of them.

Cowboy Carter article has been affected with genre change problems once again: [420][421] from pre-sock versions. Another affected page, Lemonade (album) also has the same problem: [422][423].

New account focused on genrewarring, targeting some past MJH targets. Compare this edit by prior blocked sock vs this very similar edit by the current user.

Fairly new account whose edits thus far are almost exclusively genrewarring, including at Tulisa, which is a perennial target (diff of past sock and diff of current user).

In addition, similar to some recent socks, at least one of the registered user's edits was followed closely by edits by an IP edits from Turkey to either tweak the original edit or revert the edit back after the edit was challenged.

This account is almost solely focussed on adding the "contemporary R&B" genre to music articles, common with previous MJH sockpuppets as in what's written in the LTA infopage.

• diff 1: addition of contemporary R&B and hip-hop using a source
• diff 2: relocated hip-hop soul and then added "hip hop" without a source
• diff 3: added contemporary R&B genre, reusing an existing source in the article
• diff 4, diff 5, diff 6: same as above
• diff 7: removed 'pop' genre and added contemporary R&B using a source.

Compare the pattern to "new accounts doing this or this or this" mentioned in the LTA infopage. Oh, and all but one edits have the R&B genre arranged first in the infobox, consistent with "R&B goes first" on the infopage.

I'd definitely recommend a Checkuser to look for sleeper accounts, as this LTA is known to create at least half a dozen accounts every week. Thanks. — AP 499D25 (talk) 08:46, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

New editor with non-English characters in their user name, similar to last couple of socks. Many of their initial edits consisted of genrewarring[444][445].

Once they became autoconfirmed, they went after the Tulisa article, like many past socks: past sock vs current sock.

Requesting a CU to confirm. Thank you. Aoi (青い) (talk) 01:40, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Juanistro made the same edits as a previous sock IP, adding unsupported record labels.[446][447]

XdeliciousX made the same edits as a previous sock IPs.[448][449][450]

TheOGfemaleboss has a username that recalls The Female Boss, a topic which saw a great deal of MJH socking in 2019. Blocked user Young Female Boss edited that article two days ago.

Same behavior as the last few socks that targeted the Tulisa article (new user, genrewarring, targeting Tulisa once they become autoconfirmed).

DrF13 answered an edit request from the Turkish IP 212.156.113.126, which was requesting the exact same material previously added by multiple Turkish IPs and sockpuppets: previous edits, edit request, request answered, requested edit to article. All of these edits involve putting references in the infobox against the explicit instructions given in the hidden note.
