Editor interaction analyser shows significant cross over in Insomniac187's editing history with LB&SCR E2's editing history. Their contribution history shows a strong interest in west coast US locomotives which is known to the Australian IP. Their talk page shows three topics in which articles have either been moved to draft or where an editor has discussed with them that they need more than one source to create an article, which strongly correlates with the Australian IPs history of creating articles which are lacking in notability.

This might be a bit stale, however when the first ANI discussion about the Australian railroad IP happened at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1143#Australian railroad IP I noticed that a not insignificant number of articles edited by the IP were originally created by Insomniac186. Given the similarity in names I'd say it's well beyond a coincidence. I'm adding them to the suspected sockpuppets list. TarnishedPath^talk 03:31, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For further behaviour evidence that Insomniac187 is the Australian Railroad IP, please refer to Baldwin Class 12-32 ¼ E and article created by Insomniac187 which is not being sourced sufficiently to demonstrate notability. This behaviour is consistent with the Australia Railroad IP. TarnishedPath^talk 08:07, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• From my experience with this sockmaster, behaviorally I'd say this is at least likely to be them. Strong overlap in editing interest. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I can say they're on the right continent to be this user, and that there has been some block evasion, but no, nothing better than a   Possible for this SPI.   Behavioural evidence needs evaluation Izno (talk) 06:16, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
