A succession of IPs located in Lithuania have been spamming fake content about 'Frank Mortenson' into International Festivals and Events Association.    These were reverted and an IP blocked. Then user:Gaingroo, a new account, popped up to edit war the content back into the article.

User:Birdsflyinghigh123 created Frank Mortenson, subsequently deleted. Compare also behaviour of User:Queder Med & User:Queder Med2, User: Ysuhgd, user:Wiikilover (all revision deleted).

The spamming of 'Frank Mortenson' is a cross-wiki problem, see e.g. SRM.

Request check for sleepers.

 * The user has been blocked indefinitely on pt.wiki after spamming 'Edwin Symonowicz' name there. The name 'Edwin Symonowicz' is frequently spammed together with 'Frank Mortenson'. e.g..


 * Note also the user’s response on meta to the suggestion that an abuse filter has been set up for these names (Frank Mortenson & Edwin Symonowicz). --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:03, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * This is a bad faith request. None of these stupid sockpuppet accounts were, are or will be associated with me, and it seems like it would be a conspiracy of few different editors to involve me in this kind of nonsense. Malcolmxl5 also acts in bad faith while repeatedly reverting the content of International Festivals and Events Association where the directors of this organization are being mentioned. Seriously, explain me what's the purpose to initially revert the content and then out of blue blame me for sockpuppetry with accounts I have never managed in my life??? If your purpose is to hide who were and are the CEOs of International Festivals and Events Association, then say it straight, don't play stupid reverting games. --Gaingroo (talk) 16:07, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You are the latest in a long line of IPs and accounts spamming fake content about Edwin Symonowicz and Frank Mortenson on Wikipedia and other wiki projects. What is your explanation for that behaviour? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:00, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If you at least cared about the content, you would have noticed that I only revert your malicious edits at International Festivals and Events Association. It has nothing to do with Frank Mortenson, he is mentioned there, but this talks ABOUT CEOS OF THIS ORGANIZATION. SINCE WHEN MENTIONING THE CEOS OF SOME ORGANIZATION which has its own article on Wikipedia became a spam????? If you think it's spam, please nominate for deletion the whole article about IFEA!!! --Gaingroo (talk) 10:37, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please note that this mere mention of the CEO is sourced to a webpage that has articles such as Cornish teenage activists to protest against Frank Mortenson in climate protests on Friday. So this website should be blacklisted as well. ... disco spinster   talk  19:40, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * I agree that these are sockpuppets of Birdsflyinghigh123. No other accounts are immediately visible on CU. All accounts have already been blocked. I'm going to go ahead and courtesy-blank a few of the usernames from the SPI because they are quite inappropriate—I've replaced them with redacted, but they can be viewed in the page history. . I'll request a global lock for Gaingroo. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 18:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

90.131.47.144 said, that Drvhski is his account, Drvhski confirmed ; also Drvhski confirmed , that Rachun123 is his puppet. Rachun123 mentioned 'Edwin Symonowicz' on English Wikipedia (like previous puppets, see Sockpuppet investigations/Birdsflyinghigh123/Archive). Also Drvhski edited article about Elena Zagorskaya, see Talk:Elena_Zagorskaya. Хоббит (talk) 13:33, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Very same contribution cross-wiki. Хоббит (talk) 13:48, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * 90.131.32.136 added hoax about Elena Zagorskaya (there is no mention of Elena Zagorskaya in this book according Google Books). Хоббит (talk) 14:12, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Group 1 ✅ to each other:


 * Group 2 ✅ to each other:


 * The following accounts were on the same IP as Group 1 and Group 2, and are to each other and the accounts above.


 * Group 1 and 2 are to each other. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 15:12, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

I've blocked all the accounts, with rare exception based on both behavioural and technical evidence. I'm not sure, but I may have blocked some others. I do want to note these two additional accounts: who are blocked and confirmed to each other. Jibeshelm makes some interesting comments on ruwiki. In my opinion it's very likely the same user as all the above. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:24, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Same nonsensical edits about "Edwin Symonowicz" in Christian Oliver like in previous cases about Birdsflyinghigh123, also located in the same region as previously reported IP addresses:
