Suspected sockpuppets

 * Obvious similarity in user names (Iago = James/Jacob = Jake).
 * Both focussed on Welsh topics, particularly nationalist interpretation of Welsh history.
 * As with IagoHughes, new sock obsessed with boosting the prominence of King of Wales/Kingdom of Wales which existed for less than a decade in 11th century eg (first edit),,  and  compared with sockmaster edit and this. See this thread on sockmaster's talk page about edit warring/socking at Kingdom of Wales culminating in indef by  for socking.

 * Just to note that Jake-Hughes23 has opened the thread Talk:Wales and is currently making the exact same idiosyncratic argument (eg here) as IagoHughes made in this edit summary i.e. there should be an explicit reference to a "kingdom of Wales" rather than just saying the country was united or unified.

 * Okay I guess I should add that I think this one is a pretty obvious duck test pass. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:05, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

 * CU is being unhelpful because there's no solid technical baseline for the others, but behaviour seems pretty straightforward.  --Blablubbs (talk) 15:52, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Newly created user with same obsession as sockmaster of boosting emphasis on the title of King of Wales (briefly held by Welsh king Gruffydd ap Llywelyn) and Kingdom of Wales which never really existed. Compare this with this edit by recently blocked sock of sockmaster. Makes same point about same 11th century source. Note: IPs have been trying to add the same source to the same article. ,, ,.
