Almost all their edits are genre changes/genre warring in articles about music, especially addition of R&B[1][2][3][4] (prior socks: [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]).
Addition of R&B in a infobox in which the only genre adequately confirmed in is pop[13] (Maria hates seeing pop as only genre in a infobox: [14][15][16][17][18][19]).
Both users edited the article Renaissance (Beyoncé album)[20][21][22].

Michrlle LOVES to shop changed their username to Midnight Luvva after 16 edits. Note the similarity to blocked sock Michelle LOVES to shop who also edited the same article. Midnight Luvva made ten edits to attain autoconfirmed status, then jumped into the contested Renaissance (Beyoncé album) article. They quickly chalked up 4RR, restoring previous sock edits.[23][24]

The IP went straight to an article at which MariaJaydHicky was active, restoring the same genre edit.[25][26] More of the same at another article, in both cases citing Drowned in Sound, although with different URLs to adapt to the website getting archived.[27][28][29]

Addition of R&B in the article A.K.A. (album)[30] (prior socks: [31][32])
Edit in the article Jason Derulo[33]:
- Placing R&B first (prior socks: [34][35][36][37])
- new user adding way too advanced templates (prior socks: [38][39][40])
Other genre changes using advanced parameters [41]][42].
Genre change (+ placing R&B first) writing a misleading edit summary[43][44] (prior socks: [45][46]).

Same M.O. as prior socks: making 10 (mostly genrewarring) edits and waiting a few days, then genrewarring at Tulisa once becoming autoconfirmed.

This user joined in 2020 and their first edit was a genre change in the article Mariah Carey (album), more specifically an inappropriate removal of the pop genre from the infobox[197] (prior socks: hate for the pop genre[198][199][200][201]; genre changes in the article Mariah Carey (album)[202][203])

Obvious case based on behavior. Checkuser not needed.
IP 2.124.222.213 made the same edits as previous socks at the page It's About Time (Christina Milian album).[213] After being repeatedly reverted, the IP stopped edit-warring and new user Timeless-for-me resumed the same activity.[214]
The album article has a long history of UK-based IPs and socks trying to add the R&B genre. One of these was Special:Contributions/2A02:C7C:7B18:3A00:8B2:80E9:B613:50C[215] which got rangeblocked as Special:Contributions/2A02:C7C:7B18:3A00:0:0:0:0/64. Another one is Special:Contributions/151.230.28.253 which immediately got blocked for just one edit.[216] Blocked socks who made the same edit include User:3rd St. Saint, User:Stlishminxx and User:R'n'B Playa. Stlishminxx was blocked naming MariaJaydHicky. Binksternet (talk) 22:59, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Almost all of their edits are music genre changes in the infoboxes of R&B or hip hop related articles.
In their first edits they were already using advanced templates[221][222][223][224] (prior socks: [225][226][227][228])
Among their earliest edits were restorations of edits of Maria's sockpuppets that had previously been reverted[229][230] (Socks that had made the edits: [231][232])

Sparkliieee was silent for a month and a half and started writing as soon as Ms. Amerykah was blocked as Maria's sockpuppet. They added R&B in the infobox of the article A Girl like Me (Rihanna album)[258] (prior socks: [259][260][261][262][263][264][265])
Kimpossible2023 hastened to restore Sparkliieee's edits in the article A Girl like Me (Rihanna album)[266]
"Still counts"[267] (prior socks: [268][269])
Kimpossible2023 included the R&B genre in the infobox of the article The Sweetest Days using a source that confirmed (not even very explicitly) both R&B and pop[270]: this behavior reflects Maria's obsession with the R&B genre and disdain for the pop genre, as described in Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/MariaJaydHicky.

This IP address has edit warred and had received a warning about it from Binksternet about 2 months ago, so that also might be an sign of sockpuppetry because that Maria's sockpuppets can easily edit war. They have also added the unsourced genres back, and I have reverted them. But, I am not sure if this is really a sock because that their contributions tell me that they have actually edited on some articles that are not really used by Maria's sockpuppets, so I do not know if, or is.

- The second user mentioned is also rapidly reverting my edits, when they are obviously socks. In one of their edits, they removed Europop as a genre. When I let them know about this in their talk page, they seem to get so upset about it and say in their edit summaries that they are not.

- Added Cowboy Chunter. Same pattern--new account targeting perennial targets. Some diff comparisons: current user vs prior IP sock, prior IP sock, prior IP sock. Worth noting the similar ranges of one of these prior IP socks with the IP socks listed in this report. Aoi (青い) (talk) 00:05, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

DinaRFranks pushed the R&B musical genre just like previous socks,[307] and the "Dina" name is similar to previous socks such as User:DinaRFranks13, User:Dina of Holland Park, User:Dina Rae RH10 7UW, User:Dina the Deeva, User:Dina.King, User:DinaRae20017, etc.

Kepin' it FUNKY and two IPs from the UK pushed the R&B genre into Cowboy Carter in the same manner as recently blocked sock DinaRFranks.[308][309][310] The style is the same as previous MariaJaydHicky socks.
This person claims to be the same individual who edited until yesterday as User:My love is love.[311] I don't think this is true, but I put the username in the list just to be sure.
Checkuser requested to sort out the truth. Binksternet (talk) 14:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Comment - first account listed has now been blocked, after discussions on User talk:ferret, User talk:Izno, Talk:Cowboy Carter and User talk:Kepin' it FUNKY all agree sockpuppetry. Hopefully this time, someone with CheckUser privileges can detect any zero-edit accounts created as Kepin' it FUNKY was created today before the previous case was closed.

- I had already checked this, but there were no sleepers. CU cannot comment on IPs. I did not check My love is love. No reason to check an apparently good standing inactive user just because MariaJaydHicky tried to impersonate. -- ferret (talk) 12:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
