Both accounts have engaged in disruptive edits on the series of years in Great Britain/United Kingdom articles such 1707 in Great Britain and 2014 in the United Kingdom consisting of un-attributed copying of text to the equivalent England/Scotland articles such as 1707 in England, 1707 in Scotland, 2014 in England etc.; and also deleting items from the GB/UK lists.

I have also noticed a similiarity in edit summary on creation of the England/Scotland articles: 1707 in Scotland created by Fishiehlper2 with the edit summary "creating - the Kingdom of Scotland existed for 4 months of 1707 and should have an article covering that period"; 2014 in England created by Spiritofstgeorge with the edit summary "created - England should have an article as well !".

I see from the Editor Interaction Tool that both accounts have contributed heavily to Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and Talk:Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and it would quite worrying if sockpuppetry is occuring on an article on such a sensitive political issue.

 * The accounts are ✅. I've blocked the master for one month because of the long-standing socking (~5 years). I've also removed their special permissions. I've indefinitely blocked and tagged the puppet. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:39, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Lin4671 made same edit to 1707 in Great Britain as Fishelpher used to do eg

and contributions to Crimea articles Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Crimea, Republic of Crimea, Politics of Crimea as shown up on editor interaction utility demonstrate overlap of editing style Tim! (talk) 12:08, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

 * - We're going to need something more concrete than just one duplicated edit and some shared interests. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:52, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
