 * These three accounts aren't stale, so I'm adding a CU to confirm their connection. If they are all indeed connected, then we should consider a longer block for the master. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 18:26, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Checked per the quacking; topic overlap, username, and the fact that this is absolutely not a new user. It's very ; for all extents and purposes it's a ✅ match. WilliamH (talk) 14:43, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

In addition to the similarity in usernames, Dragosh411 has like previous socks exclusively edited articles on Romanian football, and made similar edits. Compare, for example, these two edits by Parola1234567890 1 and 2, with these two edits by Dragos411: 3, and 4.

Seems to be editing from the same ranges that previous socks were. Add in the behavior and I'll say it's a match. TN X Man 17:52, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

This user began editing after the last Dragosh sock was blocked, has edited Romanian football related articles exclusively, and has a similarly tenuous grasp of English language. In addition to this there are two tell-tale indications of sock-puppetry. First is the recreation of Sergiu Popovici. The article was originally created by a Dragosh sock. Creating articles on non-notable subjects and recreating deleted articles is what Dragosh did to get him/herself blocked in the first place. The second is the use of the expression "under contract with" in the lede of Sergiu Popovici. It's an incredibly awkward way of saying what he/she means, and was used by Dragosh in a fair number of articles. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:11, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Obvious sock is obvious. The recreated article is virtually word for word of the Master's original article.  Indef blocked, tagged, closing. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 14:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

He/she has edited exclusively Romanian football topics, and has recreated at least two articles, Rareș Cucui and Sergiu Popovici, first created by Dragosh and socks. Similarly formatted username, and use of the phase "under contract with" in article ledes, also point to sockpuppetry. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:37, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * The preoccupation with Sergiu Popovici makes this an obvious connection. Indeffed. AGK  [•] 17:55, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * AGK and I appear to have been reviewing this case at the same time. I agree with his decision. The clear behavioral evidence coupled with a CheckUser result makes it obvious.  Tiptoety  talk 17:57, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

He/she has an equally tenuous grasp of the English language as Dragosh, and created an article on Sergiu Popovici, which had previously been created several times by Dragosh and socks. The new version is also very similar to previous versions if memory serves. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:29, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the relevant diffs for the sockmaster, or previous socks in this case, are accessible only to admins since they were to articles which were subsequently deleted. The last three socks all created articles on Sergiu Popovici, and all used the rather awkward phrase "under contract with" to describe Mr. Popovici's relationship with the club for which he was playing. Compare that to the current version of the article created by the user under investigation. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:57, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I can see the deleted history and I can assure you that every previous version of Sergiu Popovici was created by a dragosh98 or one of his socks. Creation of that article alone is sufficient reason to suspect socking.&mdash;Kww(talk) 00:33, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking through the deleted history makes this one too obvious to require a checkuser. Blocked, tagged, created articles G5'ed.&mdash;Kww(talk) 01:24, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

After filing an initial spi of Bogdan1333 being a potential puppeteer of an, it was brought to my attention that this user has a very similar username to one of the other sock puppets of Bad good dragosh98 -- 123bogdan123. Technical 13 (talk) 23:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
