The user Gobinho was the first user I had contact with, leading me to place the paid and COI notices on Vivien Keszthelyi. The first user supposedly translated the Hungarian Wikipedia's article on Vivien Keszthelyi and posted to my talk page. Their only edits were to translate the Hungarian page and to post on my talk page. The second account only posted on my talk page Special:Diff/873658403, asking for the notices I placed about paid editing and COI to be removed.

What I can draw between all these accounts is that:
 * 1) They all, except Darinian, edited promotionally on Vivien Keszthelyi. Gobinho, Krygsos, Vivien Keszthelyi
 * 2) Gobinho's last edit was on the 13 October 2018 23:29 to said article, an hour later Krygsos was registered, then their first edit being 11:24, 14 October 2018 to said article. This was after many all of Gobinho's edits were reverted on that day, with the new account then not being reverted.
 * 3) Both Gobinho and Krygsos added remarkably similar material:
 * Her parents warned her about the dangerous sport, but the young girl could not be prevented from achieving her goals. Contrary to the majority of racing drivers, she had not been trained since her childhood, did not start competitions and did not have any experience with cars before. by Krygsos in Special:Diff/864544791 and Her parents warned her about the dangerous sport, but the young girl could not be prevented from achieving her goals. Contrary to the majority of racing drivers, she had not been trained since her childhood, did not start competitions and did not have any experience with cars before. by Gobinho with Special:Diff/863907021.


 * 1) Both Krygsos and Darinian have posted to my talk page Special:Diff/864552622 and Special:Diff/873658403. Both of these posts have included info translation of from the Hungarian article. For Krygsos to know that translation would help the article, performing their first edit to start to translate the Hungarian Wikipedia is something I would not expect from a new editor. Both posts to my talk page use the same format for the title Vivien Keszthelyi Wikipedia biography - Issues by Krygsos and Vivien Keszthelyi Wikipedia biography - Issues fixed by translation by Darinian.
 * 2) It is very unlikely that Darinian for their first edit would:
 * Know that translation would help to improve the article
 * That this was done by another user
 * Know that I was the one who had taken a proactive response to editors editing promotionally on Vivien Keszthelyi. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 21:18, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

The master is. The three puppets are ✅ to each other and blocked without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:37, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Since the oldest account is blocked under the username policy, this didn't become sockpuppetry until at least the the third account, and any unblock requests would have to come from Gobinho. As such, I'm treating that account as the master. Tagging and closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:48, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Szoba23's first edit was to request undeletion of the article on Vivien Keszthelyi. Having failed to secure undeletion, they recreated a substantially similar copy of the deleted article (despite never having edited that article) at Draft:Vivien Keszthelyi.

Szoba2323's only contribution was to request undeletion of the Vivien Keszthelyi article. kingboyk (talk) 14:48, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * There is an oddity in the data that suggests this may be at least two people working together (perhaps UPE). The master Gobinho's previous accounts are stale, but based on the CU log, this new group is, and when combined with a few behavioral similarities (compare ), they're probably related in some way. , closing.

Recreating Vivien Keszthelyi as Draft:Keszthelyi Vivian. I saw one of the previous incarnations of this article before it was deleted and as far as I can remember this is pretty much identical. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 12:57, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

After reviewing the deleted article on Vivien Keszthelyi, it is clear to me that the new draft is the same material that was previously deleted. I will block Jewel2709 shortly. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 16:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
