Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * - I suspect there are others, although they may be stale. Some of the actions remind me of another user. At this point, Ericrico3 is the oldest account. Bbb23 (talk) 15:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Ericrico3 made their first two edits on January 8, 2021. On the same day, they created a userpage with a retired banner on it. The next edit to their userpage was to add "Vanished user #######" and a WP:U1 tag. Their third edit was to remove the vanished phrase. The userpage was deleted per U1. They started editing again in July 2023. On February 24, 2023, Ericrico56788's first edit was to add a retired banner to their userpage. They continued editing the next day (the retired banner is still there). On March 12, 2023, Ericrico56788 added unsourced material to WNET and was warned on their Talk page. On July 26, 2023, Ericrico3 made the identical unsourced edit to the article and was reverted by the same user. Ericrico3 has two additional warnings on their Talk page for adding unsourced material to two different articles on July 12 and 24, 2023. Ericrico56788 also edited one of those two articles. Finally, these are undeclared accounts with a large amount of intersection on the same pages. I think that should be enough to go on and to warrant a check.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if they were properly disclosed, I wouldn't be doing this, but they're not. All we can get technically here is ✅ for these three.  If there's more from 2021, that's stale.  I'll leave what to do about this to someone else, likely you, @Bbb23. Courcelles (talk) 15:47, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * For the record, reverting someone reverting you with an undisclosed sockpuppet is not okay, no matter if the usernames make it "obvious". Because what is an obvious connection and what isn't, well, we just had a long discussion on similar usernames at RFA in a different context. Courcelles (talk) 15:49, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * - I edit-conflicted using the script, so blocks took place but not my comments. Please move to Ericrico3. Bbb23 (talk) 15:52, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I'll go ahead and do that. Courcelles (talk) 15:53, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:30, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
