Same spamming in talk pages within a short period without waiting for response. See my talk where Antwerpant created three sections and multiple replies within the span of a few minutes before waiting for my response. User10281129 did the exact same here making multiple sections and replies without waiting for a response first, sometimes just to tell me to respond. See Joseon talk for another example of multi-reply spamming. The accounts also seem to have some grammatical similarities like often forgetting to capitalize their "I" combined with general lack of English proficiency.

 * - There's only one non-stale account so no useful CU data to compare with. Moving to open queue. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:43, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm persuaded by the evidence presented, the article overlap, editing style, and the dates of editing/account creation, that both the IP address and User10281129 are the same person as was blocked under the Antwerpant account. I'm indeffing the account; the IP appears to be pretty stable, blocking for a year. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:42, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * When reviewing 's unblock request, I found enough information in the logs to to . That isn't enough to confirm to, mind you. I suppose the technical data alone is somewhere between confirm and , but it makes little practical difference here. --Yamla (talk) 21:53, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Account created three days after last sock's ban in April. First edit occurred on October 17 at Joseon, the page the last sock had an edit war over. Restored the same material related to Joseon's international relationship, specifically the inclusion of Sadae in the status box:. Name is a reference to Dan Pedersen, a renowned figure in air combat. Previous accounts showed interest in the South Korean air force and made identical edits on different versions of Wikipedia:.

 * The old accounts are stale, but there is enough data in the cu logs to make this very, technically, to the previous socks of this case. Don't see any other accounts. Blocking etc.  Girth Summit  (blether)  12:17, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
