All of these accounts have almost solely edited pages related to the Roper family, mostly within the last few days. All of them have used essentially the same modus operandi - large content removals, removal of wikilinks, etc., with some variation in the edit summary of "delete tags, promotion", "promotion to the Roper-Curzon family", or such. The (possible) original editor claimed in an edit summary Special:Diff/1016563608 to have been an undisclosed paid editor ("The family previously paid me to edit their page in their favor. Everything is promotion").

At Baron Teynham:
 * Special:Diff/1016203637 user Historymix prods the page with the only rationale "promotional page" on 5 April
 * Special:Diff/1016358671 user Castamour, removing wikilinks with the summary "Delete tags, promotion" on 6 April

I may have missed a few socks, but I think the links above are very suggestive of a sock farm of some sort. PohranicniStraze (talk) 00:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

 * – per the excellent report. These accounts pass the duck test, but given the inordinate number of socks, a sleeper check seems warranted. Thanks and best,  Blablubbs&#124;talk 14:47, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅ to previously blocked socks:
 * This user has also tried to create an account named "Hanna Jaff" but was prevented from doing so.
 * Jona Sola is - they're using a connection that none of the others have used, with a different device, but on the same ISP and in the same city. I'm blocking them because their only edit appears to be demanding money from the subject.
 * is - their technical details are different other than being in the same city, but I'm mentioning them here because they've been editing logged out concurrently with their logged-in edits. I have warned them to stop.
