Clearly the same user, bungling page moves, edits to Matthew Knowles. See for example this move which was originally about Michael Gorton, which is a tell for socks here, making it unclear what they're actually moving to mainspace. VAXIDICAE💉 16:06, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

This is newly created sock, created after the last bunch of puppets were blocked earlier this month. This sock's history, shows that they immediately began editing the page, Sowemimo Abiodun, which had been recently edited by another sock, User:Forcivef20. A comparison of the changes by each show a definite similarity. See this and this.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Very similar edit summary patterns as previous blocked socks. Three socks I saw are Abzskhd8065 (compare this summary by Mukaigurin with this summary by the sock), Tarell005 and Jasmine441 (latter two are socks found on simplewiki, both blocked at enwiki and glocked). Combimed with a similar focus on BLPs, especially Nigerian ones, I felt that this was very, very obvious. Requesting CU as there doesn't seem to have been a check in a while, and CU has turned up sleepers in the past.  Java Hurricane  12:59, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Possible UPE sock/meatpuppets involved in creating and trying to preserve a whitewashed promotional version of Mandla Lamba. CU requested to 1) confirm/refute sockpuppetry 2) establish any connection to Gingie11/Lilio11 3) check for additional sleepers
 * These three users made the only edits of actual substance, all other edits were maintenance. Very curious, because subject of article turned out to be a known fraudster.
 * Lamini12/Lamieni55: similar names, created one day apart, both did just enough to attain autoconfirmed before and  after it got draftified.
 * Gingie11: likely sleeper shows up to, also contributed . shows vandal/inactive that abruptly starts taking interest in AfDs on 28 Jun — possible attempt to "establish cover" first (Mandla Lamba AfD nom was )
 * After article was rewritten, Gingie11 persistently, gets blocked. Lamini12 , then gives up(?). Notice that both undo edits one by one rather than revert in a single edit. Disruption appears to have ceased (for now at least)
 * Found a that suggests possible connection to previous cases
 * Gingie11 made page moves about Momar Sakanoko, obsession of Williamchaupin sockfarm
 * Gingie11 similar name to sockmaster Ginginie11 which has sock Lilio11 (probably more suspected, but no sleepers detected at that time)
 * Similar edit summary wording "Highlight (for)" across users:, , , and simple:Special:Contributions/Gingie11

This appears related to a similar situation documented partially at Articles for deletion/Naveen Jain (2nd nomination) and Deletion review/Log/2022 February 24. I found Nancy Davis Quadratic while looking at the scope of the problems with the Naveen Jain AfD. --Hipal (talk) 21:00, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was researching this sequence of events yesterday with a view to requesting undeletion, and today I see there's now Draft:Nancy Davis (businesswoman). Regarding the comment "All UPEs either way, but, any idea what happened there", I voted keep at the AfD and I'm not a UPE. Anyway, thanks for blocking the socks and hopefully the article can be recreated better this time round. Mujinga (talk) 11:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

 * based on strong behavioral similarities. If the CU results don't show sockpuppetry but do show anything consistent with UPE, I'd still be inclined to block, based on a history of that in this case. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 10:21, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Something went sideways with a case merge. Note that there's also an account with the similar name  -- RoySmith (talk) 13:26, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * All of these are to each other, in a country where widespread proxy use makes most CU results somewhat sketchy.    A couple of these are already blocked as socks of Sockpuppet investigations/Toshikenan, so I took a look at that case too; every one of the accounts in 06 September 2022 of that case falls into the same  bucket, so there's probably a case merge in our future.   who worked on that case and  who may be looking for a mess to try and sort out :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 14:16, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * PS, I'm in the same place as Girth on the confirmed-vs-proven question, but at some point, the weight of numbers really starts to argue for confirmed and I think we may be there :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 14:25, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Moving section from Gingie11 to Toshikenan. I think this is a UPE farm contracted by the original Gingie, rather than the same person, so not moving the full case. Behavioral eval of accounts coming shortly. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 14:49, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've looked all through these. I see insufficient evidence to sockblock AM Makarfi, Yar Lukutana, Verizonx09, although I'm above 50% suspicion on all of them and have softblocked AM as a uw-ublock-wellknown. The other accounts all show classic UPE behavior, and so in combination with the CU results, as proven.  Feel free to upgrade any of these to confirmed if you would like. Closing.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 15:03, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I just noticed this scooped up editors on both sides of Articles for deletion/Nancy Davis Quadratic. All UPEs either way, but, any idea what happened there? --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 15:22, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If I were to mix some tea leaves with magic pixie dust, toss it over my shoulder onto a ouija board and try to interpret the resulting patterns, my guess would be "competing UPE farms". -- RoySmith (talk) 15:26, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, I see beat me to that conclusion. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:28, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Should Mokorow be split off somewhere then? Or just converted to an unspecified UPE block? --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 15:31, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't have a great answer for you. Looking at this again, I'd say WP:GHBH is another possibility, maybe a more likely possibility than a competing UPE as I originally suggested.  I guess leave them here.  One thing I can say with certainty is that  belongs with Sockpuppet investigations/Gingie11, not here. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I just noticed how quickly Mokorow AfD'd the Davis article: 34 seconds. I'm wondering if this wasn't an effort to put the article through AfD early on, stack the vote, and make it harder to AfD in the future. Well, I've blocked its creator as a suspected sock and DUCK UPE account, and G5 is one the criteria that still applies even after an AfD keep, so, article's gone.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 23:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * By no means did I mean to imply that everyone involved here was a UPE. Rather I meant that all three now-blocked accounts at that AfD are UPEs. Apologies for the ambiguity. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 13:43, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

 * These accounts are pretty to one another - dotting about the same two ranges, using an identical device. The ranges are busy, and very socky - they have shared IPs with quite a few blocked (and g-locked) accounts, but I'm not seeing anything that would help me connect them to a particular master. The timeline and editing interests are telling - blocking, I'll let you worry about the tags .   Girth Summit  (blether)  19:01, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * - hang on a minute - there's something funny going on here.  Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  19:09, 15 November 202 (UTC)
 * The following accounts are all on the same range, using the exact same device, and have some very curious editing overlaps:
 * (already blocked for spam)
 * Lamiytu wrote James Bianco; one of these accounts nommed it at AfD, then two showed up to !vote keep. The other accounts haven't edited that particular AfD, but they have shown a very early interest in deletion discussions, and there are a number of similarities in their edit summary style. I'm blocking all. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  19:22, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * -, OK, that's all I can see - these probably need to be tagged as socks of Lamiytu. They're all ✅ - maybe tag the ones that have edited about James Blanco as proven, and the rest as suspected (unless you can identify any other editing overlap?) Cheers  Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  19:31, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I see a very significant behavior overlap, which I'll post soon. In the mean time, could you check if this is likely to Sockpuppet investigations/Toshikenan/Archive? I think that's the master. MarioGom (talk) 21:14, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Probably related to Sockpuppet investigations/Xenen1970/Archive too. Going through all the behavioral evidence will take some time. MarioGom (talk) 21:55, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Poking around in the records, I see that most of the accounts listed at Sockpuppet investigations/Gingie11/Archive, and also at Sockpuppet investigations/Toshikenan/Archive, are ✅ to these accounts - same two tanges, same UA. Those at Sockpuppet investigations/Xenen1970/Archive look pretty similar - they're jumping about on the same two IP ranges, but are using a different device. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  06:46, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Please, merge the 4 cases, and move the final case to Ameerah1, which is the oldest account (except Amber Shy, which is related but likely a different person). I will address tagging after the merge. Here's a summary of evidence.
 * All accounts use the same editor (see tags), and all accounts I could check with non-deleted contributions have an idiosyncratic editing style (pay attention to edit summaries, in particular).
 * Observing the timeline, it becomes apparent that the cases are more or less sequential batches (cohorts of the same sockmaster).
 * Some other tells related to initial sequential, sign up, edit count gaming, and farming sleepers for some time.
 * To avoid going into excruciating detail on +80 accounts, I'll leave here just some articles with overlaps from accounts tagged to different cases. I will refer to some overlap only by the main article name, but I'm considering also overlap at alternative names, drafts, and AFD:
 * Mandla Lamba: Toshikenan (Gurin Hawa Mota, Tabubulala), Gingie11 (Gingie11, Lamini12, Lamieni55); I have intentionally left out 3 more tagged as Gingie11 that are not so good behavioral matches.
 * Brandon Scoop B Robinson: Tyncove (Shawoniakr, Kasar Wuya), Toshikenan (Mr Alebiii, Ashavawani).
 * Phyll Opoku-Gyimah: Toshikenan (Toshikenan, Mr Alebiii), Xenen1970 (Cemencus Damfs)
 * Dele Bakare: Xenen1970 (OXXTQ651), Gingie11 (Lilio11).
 * If any admin, CU, or clerk, wants to see the full detail, let me know and I will send a full data dump. -- MarioGom (talk) 23:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

I noticed these accounts acting suspiciously over at Articles for deletion/Matt Klein (strategist). Puvasoca has an interest in Daniel Kelley (hacker) (uploading and adding it to the article), which has been frequented by previous socks; this account also uses similar phrasing to previous socks (compare "per Google search" in  with  etc.). Sabomancoo backed up Puvasoca in the Matt Klein AfD, and the two use similar language (compare "has pass" in with ). Both accounts share some fairly clear edit-summary similarities (etc.) with previous socks; happy to elaborate if necessary. Requesting CU to look for sleepers.
