Hello,
I suspect that the new user Prime1996 is the well known sock of this one. He made vandalisms in the Italian article Statura that is featured and several edits in the article we akready know... I do not know well en.wiki, so thanks for your help --Walther16 (talk) 20:03, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
I just took notice and it looks like a moderator already blocked his account and reverted his vanadlism. However I am sure the same user will create another fake account and will be back to cause more disruption, so I'll keep an eye on it. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 00:01, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
By the way, each language Wikipedia has its own blocks, so blocking his accounts from here will not block him from the Italian wiki. You might have to check for evidence that he is using socks in Italian wiki if he keeps vandalizing that page as well. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 15:24, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
Thanks! --Walther16 (talk) 10:40, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
Edits
Hello!
Unfortunately it seems our discussion was not read by users like LouisBStevenson or Isah Khan: I reverted their edits (they replaced the same information you removed), but I suppose this edit war will continue. It means that a good work on the article will be hard if not impossible --Walther16 (talk) 09:56, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
It looks like there is another sock puppet, TDF2026. This user is quite clearly a sock of PenultimateStride, as he makes edits on the same pages, but I will wait to report the user until he makes another edit that will clearly prove who he is beyond a doubt.

New socks
Hi!
Look at the talk page of Average Human Height etc.: I think a new sock wrote with heavy accuses against our work. Of course there is no any personal opinion in what we are doing. Could you please check? --Walther16 (talk) 13:21, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
It is definitely a sock, it also attacked my proposal on a different wikipedia page just to spite me. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 17:44, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
I noticed it and mentioned in the talk (hounding with Quantum on the article "Thor"). Let me say that it is a pleasure to edit and discuss with you, and that (if it has any value) you have all my esteem --Walther16 (talk) 19:10, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Thank you. Likewise, I say the same to you. It has been a pleasure editing with you as well. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 19:16, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
I confess that reading the last intervention by Mr Sock (on the talk, some minutes ago: "5G", "heightism" and so on XD) was really ruther funny. I did not imagine similar peculiar cases of socks and POV could really exist --Walther16 (talk) 19:30, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
That was a really strange unhinged post. That user has some issues, but it was funny to read through. Apparently having problems with small sample size studies which give height figures much higher than standard deviation would allow for, and thus being skeptical of them, is the same as believing in big foot. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 19:54, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
I thought these kinds of subjects used to post on social networks or those websites on statures of celebrities and similar grotesque things, not here. I remember that Mr Sock presented himself as "autistic" and I really hope he has no health problems. However, the fact he is not able to understand written words in the discussions appears a big problem. Now I understand why this article was so absurd. Several years ago it was written on it.wiki that mean Italians height was 6 foot (1,8 m), I'm starting to fear it was written by him --Walther16 (talk) 20:10, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
That seems very possible that he wrote that. It appears from his edit history, at least in the edits on the talk page, that he is very insecure and wants to take his insecurities or frustrations out on others, by demeaning them. Very unhinged antisocial(psychopathic) behavior. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 20:16, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
The three sock accounts have been banned. Keep any eye out because I suspect the other one on that talk page was also a sock, as are some others, but I don't have enough evidence for them yet Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 21:03, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
You did a great work, thanks. I also suspect the other intervention was a sock. I was thinking that probably it could be necessary to delete from the talk all the last absurd (and embarrassing) interventions of the sock to make the page readable, but I am not sure it is possible (or, perhaps, with "s" tag?) --Walther16 (talk) 21:32, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Thank you as well, you have also earned my esteem. Additionally, I have asked user:Izno to revert the talk page, so I will see what he has to say. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 21:52, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Hi!
I noticed that your post here was deleted by the sock: I think this is a vandalism, because messages cannot be deleted from the talks, just archived (and, in this case, even the object was a personal attack: "unhinged"). This sock is particularly aggressive, highly problematic, and made a lot of demages in the articles, I fear: there is even a discussion between himself in which he supported 271rpm (!). Do you think it is possible to replace your message? --Walther16 (talk) 10:20, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
I noticed this as well. I believe in regard to talk pages, since it was his own talk page, he is actually permitted to delete the comment archiving is preferable in this regard but not necessary. However, if he becomes unbanned(his ban was already reviewed and the administrator kept him banned), then I will lobby to keep him banned. My ban at least will still show up in his history, so I would be able to show an administrator my message if I need to. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 16:03, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
