Same article as before hit, new accounts just for this purpose. Should check for sleepers. Also see this editGeraldo Perez (talk) 21:31, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Just a note that I had warned the sockmaster, but then redacted the warning, as I was assuming a little good faith, thinking that they were a clueless editor trying to figure their way around. Now, I feel so foolish and naïve… — 3PPYB6 — T ALK — C ONTRIBS  — 01:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

I've already blocked and tagged the two users outside this SPI. Given the rash of socks, I agree that a CU is a good idea.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:47, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

 * To get the simple stuff out of the way, Borsycle1, MegPembr29, Sarah9452, and Wikipedian18233 are all confirmed to each other. Somewhat less certain are:
 * who all look pretty solid on the technical data, but there's so little editing history on each one, it's hard for me to discern any real pattern, so somebody who's more familiar with this case should look at them. Looking at the WHOIS data, I wouldn't be surprised if this was something like a university or library with public access computers, so I'm hesitant to block on the technical data without some behavioral confirmation. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:28, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * PS, leaving any blocking/tagging until after the behavioral evaluation. Dojak would be the oldest account. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

 * I've retagged the confirmed accounts. I see no behavioral connection to the "less certain" accounts (one has no contributions at all), hence no action. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 15:00, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
