Compare these edits that add unsourced d.o.b. and the (in this context) weird phrase "since the (decennium) and (decennium)". There is also some overlap of areas of interest (video games and persons from India) and both are crosswiki vandals editing among others the Georgian Wikipedia. It looks to me to be a vandal with editing experience, and Maillou2992 might not be the original sockmaster. I leave that to admins who maybe will recognize the editing pattern. Sjö (talk) 05:45, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

And of course I forgot to add links to the edits I wrote about. Here they are:. And I think that you could consider a global block for the block-evading and vandalizing IP. Sjö (talk) 10:05, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Maillou2992 was blocked on es as a sock of DaisyBus2017 who was blocked here as a sock of MuffySeville56 who is tagged as a confirmed sock of SoulMiller90. Maillou2992 is already globally locked so there's not much to do except the question of whether to move this case. Cabayi (talk) 08:00, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Similar name as last sock Maillou2992 and engages in the same kind of vandalism by inserting false information about years, ages or cause of death.    Both are crosswiki vandals with an interest in deaths and video games which is apparent from their global contributions. Both edit wikidata and both add a welcome to their Spanish user page. 

There are also at least four IPs that appear to be or have been used by the same person:    Sjö (talk) 05:19, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Never mind the IPs, they change and some of them seem abandonded now. Sjö (talk) 04:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Similar crosswiki vandalism to recent socks and : changes to dates and causes of death. If you run a checkuser the IP will geolocate to Spain, as the user has also vandalized using a number of IPs. Examples:   (death cause). A telltale sign is their changing dates of maintenance templates. Since this is a crosswiki vandal I believe that a global block is in order.

Edits like recent socks: crosswiki vandalism, including Wikidata. Introduces incorrect information, e.g. years, ages or death causes. Examples: (age and dates)  (age, dates and cause of death). Sjö (talk) 19:28, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Edits like other socks: adds incorrect years like  where a baby killed after a very late abortion is supposed to be two years old. This editor, like other socks, is a crosswiki vandal who inserts incorrect years, ages, causes of death etc., including on Wikidata. Here they translate Disappearance of Kyron Horman but add the incorrect information that Horman was found dead. Sjö (talk) 17:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Similar editing and name pattern, especially obvious when you look at the crosswiki contributions. Adds unsourced dates and clearly incorrect information  (at a redirect to a dab page) or  (Brazilian criminal buried in Italy, and very unlikely to have been in the military). Especially interested in editing articles about murdered children and recently deceased adults, with the occasional edit about video games.Sjö (talk) 18:46, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Name pattern and editing pattern shows that this is a sock, especially when you look at the global contributions. Edits about, recently dead, murdered children and video games. Edit on PlayStation Move Heroes with incorrect information is typical for the sockpuppets, as is translating an article but using incorrect info, like dates. Please check for sleepers.

Name and editing pattern shows that they are the same. Welcoming oneself is a typical behaviour for this vandal. Even more obvious if you look at crosswiki contributions e.g. https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Marina_Sabatier&oldid=7773547 where they copy an article lede from en.wikipedia but change dates and cause of death.

 * to indefinitely block JakirMiller40 per sister-wiki behavioral evidence and likely CU result. Sorry about that. I went about it that way since the endorsement was just to check for sleepers, so endorsing both sections would have been endorsing the same thing twice.

 * My suggestion would be to treat each report as a separate entity unless there is actual duplication of reported accounts bear in mind that this likely result could well suggest adjacent technical data instead of a more concrete match, and thus a sleeper check on JakirMiller40 could have yielded different results to a sleeper check on Gorilla49.

Similar edits and similar name pattern as recent socks.

IP blocked. Going forward, I do believe /20 is the appropriate range. There's a few other users on it, and of course Angelmunoz50 does also use other ranges. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:45, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

 * - Same ISP, switching back and forth between mobile and fiber, and it looks like them . Please, block the IP for 1 month (anon. only). Also, ignore geolocation discrepancies between Vigo and Madrid for this ISP. I'm familiar with these ranges, and the apparent change between these 2 geolocations is very common.
