Obvious: Amr Elmoghazy was created hours after Ola Waigh was blocked and all of their edits are to reinstate Ola's edits on Kris Paronto, James_Paronto, Timothy Britten. Also edits Talk:2012 Benghazi attack, Ola had edited 2012 Benghazi attack. All three accounts added the same unsourced dob here. The Egyptian IP 156.201.224.250 also belongs to this user. – Thjarkur (talk) 17:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

❌ from a technical perspective, but there's definitely a strong behavioural connection. Primefac (talk) 01:03, 24 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure these are all the same person, but there's no doubt they are all WP:UPE working in a coordinated way. I'm quite sure Amr Elmoghazy has prior wiki experience; legitimate new users don't make semi-protected edit requests as the very first thing they do.  I'm going to (re)-block/tag them all as suspected. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Another user with a very similar editing pattern, in fact replicating some of the edits previously made by Amr Elmoghazy (see archive). I have not CU-checked as it turned up nothing last time. I might be seeing shadows so I'd like a 2O as far as behaviour goes. Primefac (talk) 17:35, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

 * , Searching for "Scott Wickland" & "Scott Strickland" on DuckDuckGo suggests Wickland is correct (DDG offers "benghazi" & "ds agent" as supplementary search terms for Wickland). I'd be reluctant to presume anything on that single pair of edits when there's reason to believe they're correct. Cabayi (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, and I know this is more of a discussion for the article's talk page, but the references currently used in the article all say "Strickland". Primefac (talk) 13:18, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I see enough here to be vaguely suspicious (article overlap, timecard similarity, timing of when was created vs. the previous sock blocked), but it doesn't add up to enough to block on.  I note that  edited on mobile, which none of the other did.  Coffman also is interested in professional sports, which the other's don't share. In any case, no edits for about 6 weeks, so I don't see any urgency making a decision on marginal evidence.  Closing with no action taken.  -- RoySmith (talk) 12:53, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
