Basically, the evidence is the recent history of Quark (see timeline). Each account insists on adding mass to the infobox. There's also some overlap with the topic of pions too. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

There may be others, since this reminds me of sleeper accounts, either being activated, or being developped. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:46, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Another one: AmazingGuy175 (pions again) and  (compare, again about quarks' fractional charges). &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:27, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

 * follows the same username pattern and they edited Quarks twice. The edits were clear vandalism and they happened a few months ago, so this link is quite weak.
 * AmazingGuy175 and Quick*Reader76 are also linked via edits to Allies of World War I.

 * I'm pretty sure Crazyboyi2398 is not the same as the others. Crazy's edits look like pure vandalism.  The other accounts' edits look reasonably legitimate.  As for the other (Big, Quick, Cool, Amazing), it's absolutely clear they're the same person.  Not just the article overlap, but style of comments, they all (again, except Crazy) use VisualEditor, and so on.  But, there's no temporal overlap, so by our rules, not socking.  It's not WP:ILLEGIT to change your username, as long as there's no intent to deceive.  I'm going to just drop uw-agf-sock on their talk pages and hopefully that'll be all that's required. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:50, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
