 * - I've added three additional accounts (Lt.toreno, LT.TOKAREV, and Col Darul amanu) that demonstrated the same behavior of contributing to the Malaysian Air Force page. (Note that Lt.toreno created LT.TOKAREV.) I believe all the accounts have been caught from what I've seen in article history, but I think a check would be useful just to be sure.

 * Based on comments directed towards me in the edit summary here and on the talk page here, I believe it's the same user. Also, his latest socks seemed to be related to this set of socks, so it's possible the user changed ISPs or moved to a different location.

Serial sockpuppeteer with an obsession for Malaysian Military articles. Evidence is limited to behavioral/style, as I am guessing checkuser would be stale at this point. Please compare the edit summaries in the following diffs:

- confirmed sock Alif Dayabi,

- Hawkeye Ridgesaw Summer

I do not wish to expound here per WP:BEANS; however, the similarities should be clear enough. Note that the editor knew the full name of the master from over two years ago, after I gave just the word (Fonte), here Same willingness to edit war, same habit of turning to insults after being reverted,.

I've just blocked as an obvious  sock per WP:DUCK. As shown by the editor interaction tools, has edited pretty much the same sets of articles covering the equipment used by a wide range of military forces, very frequently immediately before or after Mr. Samerkov did (some example article histories which illustrate this pattern are, , , , ). Given that previous Fonte de regaz SPIs have uncovered multiple such accounts, there's a strong likelihood that Eurohunter is one of them given the editing pattern. A checkuser run for other sleepers would also be helpful, as others are likely to be out there. Nick-D (talk) 21:50, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
