Suspected sockpuppets

These accounts vandalize and remove my edits at the same time and they do it the same way arsenekoumyk did before he was banned. They act like they are the owners of Wikipedia and can edit out whatever they want. My whole edit in "Aukh" article was butchered and replaced by extremely meager text to hide what was previously there, only after that did krackduck invite me to the talk page instead of doing it before vandalizing. They also remove any source or text that even implies Uchar-Hajji has Chechen ancestry in the Uchar-Hajji article. He refuses to come to a consensus when i bring legitimate sources. I suspect these 2 accounts of being sock-puppets of arsenekoumyk since he has a history of doing this. Goddard2000 (talk) 15:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Decided to add Irelandcork to this report, i am certain that its the sockpuppet of Arsenekoumyk since he writes the same and edits the exact same pages. Goddard2000 (talk) 18:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Despite the poor nature of this request, it needs investigation. I have some evidence that I would prefer to pass to a clerk or CU via email. If that's ok, please ping me. Johnuniq (talk) 03:45, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , you could email me your evidence, thanks. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:03, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks. By the way, there is a handy table at Administrators' noticeboard (permalink). Johnuniq (talk) 04:06, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Johnuniq, I'd also be glad to receive your evidence by email. EdJohnston (talk) 13:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Johnuniq (talk) 00:13, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Long blocked, but adding for reference.  -- RoySmith (talk) 03:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * - Based on evidence sent to me off-wiki, I'm reasonably sure IrelandCork and Arsenekoumyk are the same person. CaucasusDot being created a day and a half after Arsenekoumyk was blocked makes me think they're also the same person.  I also spotted some other similarities (that I'm likewise not going to note on-wiki) that tie Arsenekoumyk, Einkleinerwissenschaftler, CaucasusDot, and KrakDuck together.  It might be enough to block on behavior alone, but since we've got three non-stale accounts here (even if the master is stale), I think it's worth CU to confirm and look for sleepers too.  There's a lot of editing overlap, but given that most of this falls into the general umbrella of Eastern Europe, Caucuses, etc, where emotions run high, shared editing interest alone is less of a good signal. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

 * The CU result is surprising to me. I'm going to leave this to another clerk to see if they can more more sense out of it than I can. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:06, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that the relationship between these accounts is suspicious because of the narrow focus on edit warring on this relatively obscure article about a nineteenth century indigenous elderman. I ran a check as well, and I would disagree slightly with 's interpretation of the data and say Arsenekoumyk, KrakDuck, IrelandCork, and CaucasusDot are all at least to each other. I don't think the technical dissimilarities are sufficient to rule out a connection completely. Indeed, I suspect there is some attempt at CU evasion at play here with browser-switching. There are, however, enough similarities here that, combined with the behavioral evidence, are enough for me to block for sockpuppetry. All accounts, closing. Mz7 (talk) 22:50, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
