TOPaner is definitely a sock of someone, I think they are CafeGurrier but I've requested checkuser to confirm.
CafeGurrier was blocked about a month ago due to long term issues with incompetent screwing around in project pages that they obviously do not understand. Since being blocked they have been avoiding their block as various IP's in the range 154.121.0.0/16 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS), see evidence here and here. The range block Tamzin put in place has just expired, and one of the first edits out of that range was another WP:DUCKY edit handing out a warning template to Tamzin [1].
Looking at the edits of TOPanner there's a significant amount of overlap with CafeGurrier and their logged out IP socking. Incorrectly trying to archive threads at the village pump, even using two copies of the {{ atop}} template [2] [3]. Requesting changes to pages in the Mediawiki namespace that do not make a lot of sense [4] [5]. Nominating redirects for deletion for incorrect/semi nonsensical reasons, which was a favourite behaviour of cafegurrier [6] [7] [8]. Finally the creation of this talk page in their third edit is highly suspicious, how many newbies genuinely know about things like centralised discussions two edits in? [9]. Overall I think the evidence points strongly to them being a sock of someone, and based on behavioural overlaps (especially the village pump and redirects) I believe this is most likely cafegurrier. 192.76.8.78 ( talk) 11:37, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Seems similar to the MO. Brand new account, jumped right in to vote on an editing tool at VPR, on the sockmasters tp a WMF person had spoken to them about the upcoming skin change. GOes and creates own tp with an archive temp, much like the last sock. Also at BN, "Closing" the inactive sysop section by marking {{ Done}} as all of them were desysopped. Also the name is somewhat similar to the last sock. Happy Editing-- IAm Chaos 16:32, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Obviously not a new user, very similar behaviour to previous socks.
First edits were to create a user page quoting a system message, and a talk page with a template, which are both odd edits for a newbie to make and match up well with the contributions of previous accounts, which tend to make blank talk pages with templates and user pages quoting bits of Wikipedia policy of tools.
They made a post at the teahouse stating that they thought you got paid for editing wikipedia, [12], 30 minutes later they go to a talk page to start quoting wikipedia policy like WP:NOR [13]. I find it implausible that someone would both simultaneously know so little about Wikipedia while also being aware of its policies and templates.
Adds raw {{ stub}} to articles, just like previous accounts [14] [15]
Makes exclusive use of the 2017 wikitext editor, just like previous accounts.
After making a few edits to articles followed by jumping straight into disrupting the village pump, which is a favourite pastime of this sock master.
Requesting checkuser due to the ridiculous number of accounts they have made over the last few weeks. 163.1.15.238 ( talk) 14:38, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Created user page in the same way as a previous confirmed sock, diving right into advanced projectspace. DanCherek ( talk) 14:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Quacks like previous socks, e.g. Harminder24 at Template:Blocked text/sandbox. Certes ( talk) 15:24, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

After apparently going silent for a fortnight, here's another report for CafeGurrier66. Unfortunately, cluelessly jumping into metapedian areas is his modus operandi at this point. Qhnbgjt has redacted another's talk page comment, removing the name of a blocked user with the edit summary " WP:DENY", and has made a report at AN with a heading of "Off-WP discussion" and a simple link, seemingly implying canvassing (though it is admittedly difficult to tell). The user has also jumped into answering edit requests, including this strange, strange edit.
Qhnbgjt was created at 07:36, 27 June 2022, less than a day after someone blocked Wesvender ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki). Qhnbgjt makes edits until 08:48 and goes silent. At 11:46, Unedifan ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) is created. Given how incredibly blatant Unedifan was, Qhnbgjt may be an attempt to try to fly under the radar and lull us into a false sense of security. Sdrqaz ( talk) 01:07, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

WP:DUCK Algeria telecoms IP, first edits were mucking about at ANI, third edit was changing the unblock template sandbox. 163.1.15.238 ( talk) 13:18, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

A load more IPs in the same /16 range as the IP blocked yesterday. Typical Cafegurrier behaviour - mucking about with sockpuppet and blocked templates, warning other editors and handing out block messages, messing around at the noticeboards etc. One of these has already been blocked. 192.76.8.85 ( talk) 12:37, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

im not a spambot, im a human.; Ilovemydoodle:
I am not a sockpuppet or a troll. Don't see many new users say this on their userpage for no reason.

@ CX Zoom: I've spotted and reported a lot of Cafegurrier socks, but I don't think Ilovemydoodle is one of them. Ilovemydoodle has stated that they edit logged out as 2603:7080:DA3C:7A33:0:0:0:0/64 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS), and looking at the contributions and overlap it's obvious they're not lying. That IP range is based in New York, CafeGurrier is Algerian. There are issues with Ilovemydoodle's editing, mostly based around a complete lack of basic competence, but they don't appear to be a sock (at least, not of this master). 163.1.15.238 ( talk) 11:17, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
WP:DUCK. Algerian IP screwing around in project space. The ovelap is especially obvious if you look at the edits from the /16 range on mediawiki, mw:Special:Contributions/197.202.0.0/16. This [16] is an obvious cafegurrier edit, compare to [17]. Alternativley compare [18] to [19]. Might be a bit stale to block, but it's probably worth noting that they've been editing as 197.202.0.0/16 on other projects. 163.1.15.238 ( talk) 12:07, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
