And all of these 10 edits were within barely some hours in the same day. Most of his edits are small edits adding or deleting a letter or a word, and many of them were reverting his own changes. Until he gained a decent amount of edits, he started to edit the same pages as the original Benniejets and his tonnes of clones did. Mostly focusing on List of European countries by average wage and adding some false data to them, then Italy and Economy of Italy amongst others, but most focusing on Italy.

I see also i'm not the only one suspecting him as a sockpuppet of. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:LittleOx&diff=823482613&oldid=823482414 --TechnicianGB (talk) 03:20, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

This case is. However, based on a check of LittleOx, the account is using the same or similar IPs to the master and his socks. In addition, LittleOx is already indefinitely blocked at it.wiki for socking and for edit-warring, and is also indefinitely blocked at es.wiki for edit-warring. The timing of LittleOx's creation, right after the last named sock was blocked, is telling. Finally, the behavioral analysis by the filer is persuasive. I've therefore blocked and tagged the account. , based on the crosswiki abuse, please globally lock LittleOx.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Brand new account doing nothing but claiming that Italy is a great power on Talk:Great power, just like umpteen previous Benniejets socks, in the same broken English as Benniejets and umpteen previous socks. - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 11:02, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

The user engaged in an edit war over the specific types of B61 nuclear bombs deployed to Italy. The user's vandalism history is Italian-centric and commonly centres around Italian military affairs. The B61 nuclear bomb article is specifically listed as a target area in the long-term investigation page and he has engaged in edit wars over this topic in the past. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974760539 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974762982 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974763891 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974769048

They also edited Least of the Great Powers, Middle power, Great power and Big Four (Western Europe) pages with a strong Italian slant. Two of these pages are on the targeted area list and two are not but are in related areas. In some of these cases he engaged in edit warring. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Great_power&oldid=975337076 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Big_Four_(Western_Europe)&oldid=972977261 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Least_of_the_Great_Powers&oldid=971751341 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Least_of_the_Great_Powers&oldid=972974601 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Least_of_the_Great_Powers&oldid=975175067 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Least_of_the_Great_Powers&oldid=975332737 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Least_of_the_Great_Powers&oldid=975333184 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Middle_power&oldid=972039681 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Middle_power&oldid=972058034 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Middle_power&oldid=975334090 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Middle_power&oldid=975336205

He also edited the nuclear sharing page regarding the previous B61 issue, another target area listed page. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_sharing&oldid=972604385 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_sharing&oldid=972611845

All of these edits are part of Benniejets' habitual behaviour as listed on his long-term investigation page. Kylesenior (talk) 08:06, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

 * There are a lot of fairly wide ranges in play here (with a lot of legit activity), so this is going to be whack-a-mole. Blocked 79.12.188.233 and 79.52.11.143 for two weeks each and Berean Hunter applied a rangeblock to 93.22.0.0/16. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:48, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
