A set of SPAs with a keen interest in Jim Gardiner (Chicago politician). They all appeared after the master AldermanJimGardiner was blocked. The two "jg" accounts apparently were absent for the "how to choose a good name for your sockpuppet" workshop. All three only edit Jim Gardiner (Chicago politician), and have been edit warring lately. EBatay3 just filed a really bogus COIN complaint against. Possibly (talk) 03:58, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It looks like Jg29983923 is actually the master, but only by a couple hours. Possibly (talk) 04:38, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I added Honestandreal1 Truthbetold1475 Chicagousername Jimmydastalker for CU as they are SPA and all appear in the abuseFilter log for Jim Gardiner (Chicago politician). Possibly (talk) 06:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Moved Honestandreal1 to recent, as the account just edited the article. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 00:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * we had the same thought. Possibly (talk)
 * , I have no idea about what is going on here, vis a vis Jg29983923. The possibility that it is a username copycat is all I can think of.--- Possibly (talk) 03:23, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

 * There's obviously something funny going on, but if these are all socks of the same master, why is Jg29983923 edit warring with Ebatay3 and Jg4242564 in the history of that article? I'd be grateful for any thoughts from or  on that, otherwise I'm inclined to close this with no further action in the hopes that El C's permanent ECP will stop the disruption.

 * I'm as confused about Jg299839232 as everyone else here (especially the "likely" finding) but given that they're actively editing against the others, I'm inclined to leave them unblocked. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:55, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Just noting for the record that there's also Truthbetold14 which never edited but created Truthbetold1475  There's nothing wrong with picking a new user name, but it does seem a little odd that a brand new user would bother to add "this is my only account" as a comment. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:43, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
