Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

All three accounts are relatively new and overlap in their addition of unreferenced information to articles relating to Kosovar and Albanian military material. All three utilize some combination of Ill or lli in username. All three accounts overlap on Kosovo Security Force. On this article, Illyrianzz regarding equipment that had  by IllyStar less than a day earlier. Leotrimylli has frequently made similar additions to the same page, adding content regarding Kosovar military equipment (such as ). There are three Serbian IPs apparently associated with this sock/meat:, , and (as IPs, they are not subject to CU). Requesting CU on registered accounts based on concern that other active or sleepers might be present. Additional behavioral evidence available upon request. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:30, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
I notice a pattern with these accounts as well as the two suspected sockpuppets above in that most appear to have shifted their focus from general Kosovo/Serbia-related topics to primarily the Kosovo Security Force and/or Kosovo Security Force. Elmedinhajr is the only exception to this pattern, but they've been focusing on KSF/KAF topic from the beginning. Another similarity between the users' edits is that they are all making unsourced or poorly-sourced changes to the equipment section of the KSF article, often removing sourced content as well. Below are some diffs from an ANI report filed by Pbritti that clearly show this pattern: Given the above patterns, I strongly suspect that sockpuppetry and/or meatpuppetry is at play. - ZLEA  T \ C 01:17, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: Dealt with the earlier batches, looks like quacking. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * It was an actual topic that was discussed in country, so that’s why I created the article. I can guarantee that I am not a sockpuppet of user Eron Lushaj, so the edits were just coincidence, and now I am being accused for being a sockpuppet of user mentioned above!
