Based on the edit history as a whole of this user since December 31, 2024, he may or may not be ConsumersDistributingonline. But the edit made on the The Source (retailer) page alone most certainly indicates he is. The edit of UserYak basically mirror that of the two previous confirmed sockpuppets Fuddlle and RachellTensions both blocked in last December.

UserYak and Fuddlle both removed a logo of RadioShack.[1][2]

UserYak and RachellTensions both restored a useless logo of The Source from 2009 to 2019.[3][4] As indicated in the long-term abuse page above, the user has a fascination with adding former logos in articles even when the former logo has no significant difference with the latest logo as it is the case here.

Finally, all three users removed a description about The Source being a subsidiary of Circuit City from 2005 to 2009 and replaced it with the generic "Logo from 2005 to 2009".[5][6][7]

I give a 50/50 chance UserYak is a sockpuppet of ConsumersDistributingonline. And if he's not a sockpuppet of ConsumersDistributingonline, then he's the sockpuppet of someone else. 76.64.222.10 (talk) 15:52, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Right device, but it's common. However, with the behavior, will block. Izno (talk) 20:12, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
