Suspected sockpuppets

Hello everybody, I come here to report an editor that is using a sockpuppet to disrupt the Wikipedia articles related to Mexico. I've had conflicts specifically with the account HueyXocoatzin (summed up, what this editor does is remove verified data, specially data related to European Mexicans using false claims), firstly from January to March in the article Demographics of Mexico until he stepped down and then another conflict in the article of Mexico through most of August until again he stepped down. It seemed to be over, as Hueyxocoatzin behavior have been observed by administrators to be inappropriate but now this editor has returned with another account, that of TexanAzteca (account that until last week, was dormant for more than two years ). If one compares what both accounts seek to edit aswell as the edit summaries is very easy to tell is the same person.

HueyXocoatzin edits from August:

TexanAzteca edits from the last two days:

I'm not requesting checkuser because of how clear the similarities are and because back in February I filled another SPI report involving this sockmaster, on which I explain with detail that he likely uses a subscription-based VPN service to lower the probabilities of getting caught, however, since this is a very complex case I'm focusing on these two accounts right now, as they're the most strikingly similar.

 * Either Mexico is a magnet for sockpuppets, or the puppets who've edited it in the last couple of months may be connected. I can't shake the feeling there's a bigger picture. That said, none of the others come close to matching the two reported here for being windbags in their edit summaries.
 * None of the following cases (from Mexico's history) have been CU'd in the period (except Generic515).
 * sock of (SPI)
 * sock of (SPI)
 * sock of (SPI)
 * , blocked for WP:NOTHERE, previously CU blocked. The history of Jack's talk page has been heavily revdel'd so it'll need the mop to see more.
 * (SPI) this is the only case to have been CU'd in the last 3 months so is unlikely to be involved.

 * TexanAzteca is to HueyXocoatzin. Less than 250 miles apart, the timeline leaves room that this could be someone that relocated for college.
 * None of the others listed above match this case technically nor do they match each other. It appears to be different people.
 * Found other socks for Jack90s15 - see Sockpuppet investigations/Jack90s15.
 * I have placed the Mexico article on 30/500 protection due to this being targeted by so many socks.
 * Given the inconclusive CU result, and the fact that SPI is being used as a cat's paw in a long running content dispute (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), not for the first time (Wikiedro SPI), I don't think this is the proper forum for this case. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 17:29, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
