All of these recently created accounts are focusing their editing on User:Johnn1312/sandbox (see Sandbox editing history) and several articles that have been deleted. It seems highly unusual for other editors to be editing an article in another editor's sandbox. Liz Read! Talk! 00:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

There are more recent pages documenting the previously unknown Steven "Edward" Maniatis I (aka Stefanos Maniaths) in User:Fthesystempls/sandbox (based on Greek National Socialist Party) and User:Gamioloodigos/sandbox (based on Black Front). It's cross-wiki: el:Χρήστης:FriendlyFront/πρόχειρο (now deleted) also mentioned "Stefanos Maniaths". Edwardianism (ideology) and Edwardian Greece (which I G3'd) provide further evidence. Certes (talk) 00:46, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Another new editor is now preparing a clone of Edwardianism (ideology) in User:Gamiolasbro/sandbox. Certes (talk) 20:22, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Edwardianism is also available in User:Jonathanfernandezzz/sandbox, and a new article is being prepared in User:DavidJohnson102/sandbox. There may possibly be a connection to stale case Sockpuppet investigations/Greekboy12345er6 (2010–2015). Certes (talk) 12:48, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

User:GeiaSasFiloi/sandbox (in Greek) mentions the same non-notable politician. Certes (talk) 14:22, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Another new article in preparation: User:EnglishBros012/sandbox. Certes (talk) 13:01, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Today's offerings: User:ΠαναγιωτηςΤριαντο/sandbox &#91;el&#93; and User:Idowhatiloveok/sandbox, wikilinked to each other and to the Jonathanfernandezzz and EnglishBros012 versions. Also on Greek WP only we have el:Χρήστης:MpampisGiannis01/πρόχειρο, a sandbox on a similar topic edited by GeiaSasFiloi. Certes (talk) 01:07, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm going to list the extra accounts with the checkuser template for ease of review:
 * Mz7 (talk) 01:21, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep, the behavior all checks out. They're all interested in creating drafts for apparently nonexistent fascist/communist political parties. All accounts . Please move this case under FriendlyFront, the oldest account. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 01:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Also ✅:
 * . Mz7 (talk) 01:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Looks like there's nothing left to do here, closing. Blablubbs | talk 18:10, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
User:Maniatis23/sandbox is another draft article for a non-existent party run by Stefanos Maniatis, similar to those created by past socks. References seem genuine but refer to German organisations c.1940. Certes (talk) 20:06, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
