 * There's not much I can give you here because almost everything is stale. I did check Holaswain vs Centrereded; I'll call them  to each other ; the user agents differ by just a version number, but it's a very common UA.  Different IP ranges that geolocate to the same (large) city.  What's a little suspicious is that the WHOIS data implies that the two IPs are registered to the same company which sounds from the name like they might be a hosting provider, but that's deep in speculation territory.  I can't tie this back to the master; there's a couple of log entries which geolocate to the same city, but that's grasping at straws.  There's tons of confirmed socks in this case, but unfortunately (hint, hint), nothing was recorded in cuwiki, so there's nothing to go on. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:17, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Coming back to look at this again, I can't convince myself there's enough to block on. Also, either of the account I checked have edited in several weeks, so there's no urgency to do anything.  I've captured some data in cuwiki for future reference, and I'll close this for now. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:55, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Stylometry, timezone, summaries match. I am pretty sure these socks belong to the same user. I would ask to check their accounts as I know they have tons of them (look for accounts with long unsourced/poorly sourced articles, this is their hallmark). Helpful diff: Also, a user declared their COI here which they blanked later. 2001:16A2:C764:8000:3D4E:F84:41C7:BF6F (talk) 00:35, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Holaswain and Franklylucky are ✅ to each other, but as in an earlier report, I don't have any solid connection back to Ablasaur, so I'll leave this as . Amh2022 appears to be ❌. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:52, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Taking another look at this, I'm going to split out 19 February 2022 and 02 April 2022 into their own case. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
