They both edited the articles "Enel" and "Atlantia (Company)" in the same dates following the same sockpuppetting behavior, they both edit following the same patter of flame wars in the in the edit summary first of the two company articles and then in the talk page with direct attacks using the same pattern and similar concepts.

Ducking, restore the sock edit after user Kitcatx's (rightfully?) BRI. The edit summary of that "new" user as follow: "the mere fact that the user can be a "sockpuppet" is not enough to justify the "Reverting" - if you continue you will be blocked - Undid revision 903240422 by Kitcatx (talk)"

Yes those edit by sock are not block evasion edits so it may be not reverted, but it is not a reason for block evasion. Matthew hk (talk) 22:19, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

A cross-wiki UPE sock editing mostly Italy-related topics (as were the others – this is the only farm I know of with this focus). A stronger link can be found in the fact that mircoselliro created LaPresse (Italian News Agency) and Beatrice Trussardi – the images used in both of these articles ( and ) were uploaded to commons by (CentralAuth), who is blocked as a sock of this master on enwiki. Given this overlap, I think it's reasonable to assume that D.mircoselliro is either a sock- or a meatpuppet of this farm. Requesting CU to flush out sleepers since this was effective last time around. Blablubbs | talk 21:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Note as well that FSI Fund was created on itwiki by Paololog, another member of this farm. Blablubbs | talk 21:37, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I know the master is stale, but looking at the archives, I think a sleeper check might make sense (see above). Best, Blablubbs | talk 02:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Blablubbs - All of the accounts (except for the accused sock) are stale. A sleeper check is impossible unless I can confirm that this account is a sock puppet first. The logs are just too old in order to make an accurate determination as to where to look.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:06, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Decline CU. Other sock puppet accounts are too for comparison. This will need a behavioral investigation...  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   02:15, 27 January 2021 (UTC)


 * The editing overlap is pretty convincing, backed up by the activities on other wikis, but what really convinced me is some behavioral patterns I noticed (ask me off-wiki). I've renamed this case to D.mircoselliro who I suspect is the true master.   Blocked and tagged. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:28, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
