 * I came to SPI to file the identical case. Strong DUCK situation. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:26, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * HMRBruh admits to being a sock in this diff, and Geeferino alludes to it in this diff. Ym2X (talk) 00:03, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Geeferino confirms he's a sock in this new post. Nfitz (talk) 06:43, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Geeferino's claims are also consistent with being a longtime IP editor without another account. See Special:Diff/961160329. Wikiacc (¶) 14:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Economist blatantly admits to being a sock in this diff. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:12, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead and blocked Economist 4738 based off of said diff, though I am not certain who the master is. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:18, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I have blocked HRMbruh too, they also claimed to have created this as a second account, and have not disclosed their other accounts. Again, not sure who the master is, but perhaps they will enlighten us in an unblock request. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:22, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * And I have blocked Geeferino based on the diff from Nfitz. Three accounts casually admitting to being socks in one day... Still no clue who the masters are, thus I've left off the tags. The IP appears to be stale, no need for a block there. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:59, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Pretty ❌ to each other. However, if these accounts are the second accounts of anyone else, they're ILLEGIT, because the socking policy says Undisclosed alternative accounts are not to be used in discussions internal to the project. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 00:25, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think there's anything further to be done at this time - they have all admitted to being socks, which is nice of them (and their participation in AfD invalidates their defense of making a sock for privacy purposes), and though they may not be each socks of each other they are almost certainly coordinating off-wiki, so I don't see a compelling need to reblock just to remove the SPI note in the block message. I already declined an unblock request from Economist last night and I will watch the talk pages of the other two as well for any further developments. IP editor is a day stale at this point and is probably yet another canvassed participant rather than an actual sock. Closing. creffett (talk) 02:52, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
