I have a hard time believing there are a large intersection of editors who share an overlapping interest/obsession with Dacia automobiles and cartoons such as Fairly OddParents, Spongebob and Garfield, who also primarily edit enwiki, rowiki and frwiki.

This editor overlaps crosswiki and here with, who are CU blocked as Olaru as well as with several Olaru socks. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence so I've basically just compiled the interaction reports.

Alex & Franco, Alb & Franco, gumbi & franco and the rest are mostly single edit, but overlapping socks. And more attempts to create this (by various named socks here) as this Praxidicae (talk) 14:14, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

This case is. Francofonné is ✅ to AlbForLife4 and Hastag gumbii, who are not blocked as the master. I have blocked Francofonné without tags. That said, we should consider tagging all three as the master based on the CU log, which shows one of the previously blocked socks as editing from the same city using the same ISP.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:14, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I've finished checking and cleaning up edits from Francofonné. For what my two cents is worth, I concur that the behaviorial evidence is clear. -- ferret (talk) 01:19, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Per the last SPI report dated 15 January 2020 I also find it difficult to believe that there is "a large intersection of editors who share an overlapping interest/obsession with Dacia automobiles". Francofonné was blocked on 16 January while IfrimAndrew was only created on 18 January. The latter has already edited Draft:Animaniacs (2020 TV series), The Flintstones, Garfield Originals, Dacia Logan, and Dacia Sandero. At Draft:Animaniacs (2020 TV series) IfrimAndrew restored edits that Francofonné made before they were reverted by . At Garfield Originals both removed "United States" from the infobox, unlinked frenemy, and removed "Jorge Diaz as Nathan, a young neighbor of Jon and Garfield's nemesis".

 * Concur with Aussie on the behavioral evidence. Waiting for CU though and I think there was some question on whether or how to tag these. -- ferret (talk) 14:04, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ and blocked. Please tag/retag this account and the ones referred to in the report above in the following manner:  where "Example" is the oldest account (I believe but verify that it is ) and "altmaster" is Alex Olaru. I forget how you tag the "oldest account".--Bbb23 (talk) 14:32, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * You may wish to check over things to see if I got it right. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 09:55, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , I made one adjustment to Hastag gumbii; everything else looks good. Thank you.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:05, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Acount created on 24 January, 4 days after the last sock was blocked. First edit was to Dacia Sandero, which is pretty telling. The other edits have been to Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs which is another of the overlap articles, along with and.  Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 14:01, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
