The most recent account,, created from the master account , is a WP:DUCK of , recently blocked by the administrator. The editor edits articles of the same themes of recently blocked accounts and insists on promoting edit wars. For more information, see this sockpuppet investigation.

 * What the? War? I just tried to complement the infomartion on the article, since I'm an historian and very fond of the Brazilian political history. If my edits aren't good, warn me. And if I'm not mistaken I didn't broke the three edits rule, and also awaited a day to re-edit the article. I'm well aware of the site's rules. And who the hell is Arthur Brum?

I think we need more direct evidence: Theryx7 is stale and if this was Arthur Brum, it should've been picked up in the previous checkuser sweeps. DrKay (talk) 16:21, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Switched to checkuser-requested. Collebud88 would not have been stale when I last checked, but I could have missed it. An account that edited nearly every day up to a few months ago, then didn't edit at all until two days after the last set of socks were blocked, with topic overlap that might not be coincidental. I'm not familiar with Theryx7 and that case is five years old. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:13, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * No evidence has been presented. Nonetheless, I checked based on 's request. Collebud88 is ❌ to the non-stale socks in the archive. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:23, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

 * In addition to what you mentioned, the user's edits on Brazil and the unsubstantiated attacks made against me (here and here), are further evidence that this is the user of always abusing of multiple accounts. I haven't even edited in the last few months. How a "newly registered" user, but who claims to edit since 2011 (???), can attack me out of nowhere like that?

 * Please explain what you mean by you've been on wikipedia since 2011 and you intend to continue and why a new account should make exactly 10 consecutive edits to a user page before starting to edit mainspace. Such behavior and the edit history here would seem to support the claim that you're a sock puppet. DrKay (talk) 18:41, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

The is the new WP:DUCK of. Also investigate Horcoff, Fbergo and Ciro Lyndo, semi-dormant accounts that appear here suspiciously only to make reversals or doubtful/minimum contributions in similar articles, as "Arthur Brum" tends to create multiple accounts.

 * Identical writing style and thinking when writing the user page:(here and here). Typical surveillance in articles about Brazil. Accounts editing Itamar Franco article - although he is a former president, has had no relevance in the country for any subject: (here, here). I have reason to be suspicious on account of the strange behavior of these accounts in general. Many accounts only edit here, on average, once a week, as if watching - dormant accounts that pretend to be active. There seems to be use of different accounts to perform single-purpose tasks, such as the Horcoff account that performs 95% of editions on Brazilian football, but suddenly deviates to edit an article by a radical far-left politician like Marcelo Freixo or about a radical far-left youtube channel called Meteoro Brasil. These are typically strange behaviors.  2804:14D:5C87:8A5E:B45F:922F:660C:E942 (talk) 20:30, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
