Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Coming here after being asked to at a COIN discussion. Marzena Ozarek Szilke and its associated talk page have been recently flooded with a variety of similar comments from the IPs and the sock. Many of the edits on the talk have since been revdel'd, so I can't provide direct diffs, but the contributions are clear from the history of the page.

It's not exactly clear to me why they are using so many IPs; they're fairly open that they claim to be the article subject (see: COIN), but they're on different networks, so it appears to be intentional. The IPs, taken together, have violated 3rr on the article, despite having been warned to stop edit warring before their fourth revert.

I am not requesting checkuser because the master account is almost certainly stale, and there's no point in comparing an obvious sock account to three IPs because we can't publicly reveal IP information. That being said, I would respectfully request that a checkuser with access to VRT be the one to look at this case. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 14:56, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * As an update, I've included, which is engaging in the same edit warring behavior as the other IPs. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 15:31, 8 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I've added, based on both its similarity to another IP in the list and the diff here. Jguglielmin (talk) 18:37, 8 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I have gone through the page history and identified three new accounts with no history (,, and ) suddenly pushing the same promotional material as the existing suspected socks (on multiple articles), as well as one IP Any of the contributions of any of these accounts should demonstrate their link to the existing socks.

 * Now that there are multiple accounts involved, I am going to request CU. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 14:08, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

 * The accounts Mastodontrix and GniewAchilla are ✅ to each other. The remaining accounts IbanezH and Mrmbar are to them. . Given that we have two accounts that are CU-confirmed to each other, and that the remaining accounts are also WP:SPAs related to the same subject, I would say all the accounts pass the WP:DUCK test. : I will block all the named accounts indefinitely except for Marzena Ozarek-Szilke, since that account hasn't edited in years. No action needed against any of the IPs, since they haven't edited for more than a week now, and the article in question has since been deleted. I will move this case under GniewAchilla, the oldest of the accounts that I am blocking. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 19:08, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
