Suspected sockpuppets
Pretty sure Hjoka78 is a sock of Darkl1yy, not so sure about Efe urluca but could be related. Hjoka78 is making same edits as Darkl1yy and his socks. For example: and such...

About Efe urluca, he created this: which was created by Darkl1yy and deleted as vandalism before:

Darkl1yy created it on ruwiki as well and it was deleted as vandalism there as well:

Some sneaky vandalism, verifiability and OR issues as I understand it. Tehonk (talk) 05:47, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Efe urluca is already blocked for being unresponsive to communication. Of the two listed suspects, I cannot make a technical connection between them, they are coming from different countries.  Hjoka78 (the currently unblocked account) geographically matches what I can reconstruct from the CU logs of Darkl1yy.  Courcelles (talk) 16:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Adding to this, while not confirmed, I see enough to block Hjoka78 and tag as suspected (though I'm damn close to proven.) I see no viable path to unblocking Efe, even if they are not part of this case.  Given that concludes the work, I'll close the case.  (It's not worth the time to send this through workflow on the off chance someone wants to tag Efe.  They're blocked without talk page and no reasonable admin would unblock at this point.)
