Just curious- why, and why me? Never seen the article, that I can recall. Surfer Joe (talk) 17:18, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

This IP is a sock of prolific sockmaster Cadeken. See WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Cadeken/Archive, who has created dozens of accounts and used even more IPs. The editing pattern is identical. IPs in southern California always pop up when a registered sock is blocked. The IPs seek meatpuppets with this message to evade a block or policies. This IP was recently blocked for such solicitations. Sundayclose (talk) 01:46, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
