Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

So this is funny; we may have a personal issue here. SarahMaiers started with this edit, basically spamming AppTec and slamming Hexnode, a competing company. But Sarah is also LauraKreidberg, in whose deleted contributions you can see that they were trying to harm Hexnode's reputation. LindaRussel, who did the same thing. They're also LauraBamberg. Then they ran out of Lauras and created SandraFishers and PetraGans; Sandra created Draft:Apptec360; they clearly have some experience. But wait. All these are also Egela and Neerejor--and Neerejor is accused (CU can see the /64 range where this comes from), logged-out, of spamming for...Hexnode! Correctly! I'm doing to drop some blocks. Isn't this fun? Drmies (talk) 15:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Update: so Neerejor changed their name to Be Like Me, and is identical with FlashWikipedian, and with Theshininglarry (I just deleted their Draft:Mitsogo). Drmies (talk) 15:41, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * - you said above that Neerejor changed their name to Be Like Me, and is identical with FlashWikipedian... but they actually changed their name from Neerajor (see ), and Neerejor is a different account, which was confirmed to the LauraKriedberg/SarahMaiers group here:  For a variety of reasons, I think Neerejor with the E is a joe-job attempt. Am I right in thinking that Be Like Me/FlashWikipedian/Theshininglarry are a different group from the rest? Spicy (talk) 17:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Shoot, --I was wondering whether I was making a typo in there somewhere. I'll get back on this in a bit. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 19:58, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Be Like Me (and thus Neerajor), Flash, Larry are indeed one group; Neerejor and Neerajor were both pro-Hexnode. And the GHBH mystery is narrowed down to Neerejor and this deleted edit from the history of Hexnode, adding consumer satisfaction--but Neerejor is on the same /64 range that is also occupied by SarahMeiers, LauraKreidberg, LindaRussell, LauraBamberg, SandraFishers, who are anti-Hexnode. Neerejor has the same technical data as Egela, only slightly different from the Sarah/Linda/Laura group, and that's the same as a couple of IP edits from that range that reinstated pro-AppTec edits. So it remains confusing. Drmies (talk) 21:22, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * So, there were some edit summaries and comments from these accounts/IPs that were later redacted. If you look at those you'll see why I think that Neerejor is a joe job that fits with the pattern of anti-Hexnode editing. We seem to be dealing with dueling UPEs. I'll move this case to the oldest account in the LauraKreidberg group and tag those accounts accordingly, and I'll deal with Be Like Me/FlashWikipedian/Theshininglarry at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/FlashWikipedian. Also, the account
 * was confirmed to LauraKreidberg et al. in the FlashWikipedian SPI, and should be blocked as such - it's obviously behaviourally related. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
