 * The link between the "KBY15" and "AKABIL15" is fairly obvious: similar names, with KBY15 restoring more or less the same edit that was made by AKABIL15 earlier. Both of them mark their edits as minor.
 * "Boudjemaa Nait kaci" appeared at the same time as the above two to edit/vandalize the same article. They previously removed the Arabic name from the Issad Rebrab article, just like the sock master and their other SPs. The connection to all of them to the master is the usual disruptive edits to anything to do with the Kabyles and Kabylia. M.Bitton (talk) 18:44, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

 * I'll leave this open for admin action based on behavioral evidence. KBY15 and AKABIL15 are to one another,  to the master. Boudjemaa Nait kaci is ❌. ST47 (talk) 22:35, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * KBY15 and AKABIL15 seem likely on behavioral grounds, but there's no timeline overlap, so no per se policy violation. This may just be someone who decided to do a "poor man's name change". Closing. If AKABIL15 becomes active again, feel free to re-file and ping me, or just drop a note on my talk.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 03:53, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Please hold off on archiving till I decide whether the 22 October case needs to be split. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 16:55, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Breaking off from Noname JR to AKABIL15 per my note in the next section. Ready to archive. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 03:06, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

The usual quacking about the same North African ethnic group, really... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 22:31, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

 * for comparison with the master (may have to rely on log data) and with AKABIL15/KBY15 from the previous section, who used a similar ES about Arabist vandalism (and who based on behavioral evidence I judge to be the same person as each other).  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 04:00, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * is to KBY15 and AKABIL15. ❌ to Boudjemaa Nait kaci. I'd call it ❌ to the master. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:03, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Dreamy Jazz. I'm pretty sure that this is the same person as KBY15 and AKABIL15. However, there's no bright-line policy violation here, since there's no timeline overlap. I see that M.Bitton has already given the newest account uw-agf-sock. Let's see where that gets us; closing without action for now. Since all three accounts are either unlikely or unrelated to Noname JR, I'm going to split these two sections off into their own case under AKABIL15. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 03:04, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Pursuing a long-term slow-mo edit war is disruptive, whether with one account or many, and I'm quite sure this is the same person, insofar that this and this and this are all clearly a DUCK-test pass for the newest editor's currently sole edit.

 * . Nationalistic and ethnic-based topics often bring out similar edits from different edits, so it's entirely possible that this is some newbie who shares a POV with AKABIL. That said, given AKABIL's history of throwaway accounts so far and the POV overlap with Noname JR, I think a check is warranted against AKABIL and Noname. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 07:21, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

 * We're pretty much where we were in the previous reports. Kennedy7888 is  to KBY15, but wide ranges and common user agents.  Likewise possible to AKABIL15, but an even wider range.  Just as in 14 September 2021, there's no temporal overlap.  Maybe the best thing at this point would be a friendly chat on their talk page to ensure they understand our socking policies? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:05, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking further at their edit, I'm reasonably satisfied that this is the same person. (Note the punctuation in the ES.) They were already given uw-agf-sock as AFERNAS. I've given a somewhat sterner warning just now. If they keep doing this... I reckon next sock gets all of them a "find your talkpage" block, and after that the AGF runs out and we treat this like any other sockpuppetry. Closing.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 18:24, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
