Suspected sockpuppets
This is a bit of an odd case: I am very confident that is a sock or meatpuppet of either  or, as a brand new account that immediately jumped in to a dispute with  at Galashkinskoe Naibstvo and WP:ANI. The methods of these three accounts are similar: broken English, accusations widespread fraud and misconduct, and (in the case of Товболатов and Merjuev) a smattering of personal attacks which have led me to impose sanctions against those accounts before any consideration of sockpuppetry entered the picture. Depending on CU results, this report may need to be renamed. N.b. Merjuev is currently wrapping up a short block (with a final warning that further personal/racist attacks will lead to an indefinite block) and Товболатов is topic-banned from the dispute with WikiEditor. Additionally,, another account involved in related disputes with WikiEditor does not share this pattern of editing, so they are not listed as a sockpuppet here and I have yet to see anything sanctions-worthy on their part. signed,Rosguill talk 16:54, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Reviewing these diffs now, I think that there is a much closer match between Merjuev Salovdi and Guron Wendat than either of them to Товболатов. However, the timing of their appearance immediately following Товболатов's topic ban and behavior towards WikiEditor1234567123 is enough of a coincidence that I think a CU is still warranted there. It may be worthwhile to check as well, as another account involved in slinging  attacks at WikiEditor in relation to disputes over Ingush-Chechen identities (Special:Diff/1137520786). signed,Rosguill talk 20:43, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Noting for the record that Товболатов sent me an email stating that they have no idea who either of these other two accounts are and denying any connection. signed,Rosguill talk 00:41, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello Rosguill. Perhaps Biltoyn, Lamro Tlero and 94.198.131.186 are related with Merjuev Salovdi? They pretty much behaved the same, made edits in same pages and once one account was banned, a new one was created. What do you think? WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 21:00, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

 * -, would you mind providing some diffs to support the behavioural evidence you've posted? Thanks, Spicy (talk) 19:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Rosguill. I haven't had time to look at the diffs yet, but I'll restore the CU request. Spicy (talk) 22:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Товболатов and Guron Wendat are to each other and are  to  and  which are ✅ to each other. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * What about ? Spicy (talk) 22:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merjuev Salovdi is to all of the above. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:07, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Since CU was inconclusive and neither account has edited in a few months, I'm going to close this. If the accounts return to editing and are disruptive, standard administrative/CTOP remedies may be easier than figuring out the sock situation. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 05:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
