Based on the username alone, it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Both accounts edit on the same pages, predominately dealing with soap operas, ie: ABC and CBS Daytime articles. I've done my best to pull some comparison edits, but at this point... think they might not be needed based on username alone. User was given not one, but two offers (one in 2013 and one in 2014, both administered by WGFinley). In 2013, when questioned about editing via IP by Jpgordon, they deflected stating someone else was editing under their IP. In 2014, they never responded to the offer and their indef block was continued and stands to this day. Now, they seem to be back editing under the same "TVFAN" name.

- Absolutely not the same person that I am being accused of. I did not realize in my last edit that that particular actress was now going by her married name. I saw that editor switch it back and as you saw I left completely alone and that was my error. I am fairly new to Wikipedia and feel I have been a very good contributor in the edits I have made thus far. Thank you. TVFAN 38 (talk) 22:19, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- I now suspect Jpgordon it is the same user, per this edit summary, which mirrors several other edit summaries from the main account, as well as stating something has been "Withstood for Years". livelikemusic (TALK!) 23:56, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
- Likely Obviously TVFAN24 is quite stale. However, the from the checks I did on 22:37, 24 June 2010, I can glean that the location of TVFAN38 is near enough to that of TVFAN24 to think "likely". --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 21:55, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked and tagged per WP:DUCK. CheckUser requested for accounts that may be connected to the sock. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:52, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- I've already fully checked TVFAN24; if there were more I'd have called them out. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 01:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Closing - jpgordon's made an assessment already. Izno (talk) 01:26, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
