Both accounts were created on the same day, have similar timecards, and predominantly edit Eastern Europe/Central Asia-related articles with basically identical edit summaries , , ,. Seems like a fairly coordinated effort, so requesting CU to see if there are any other accounts. Spicy (talk) 23:09, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Same deal as before: same timecards, similar editing style, same edit summaries (,, , ping me for more if it's not obvious after opening contributions side by side). MarioGom (talk) 20:42, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

 * There's some weirdness here that I'm pretty sure means we can't rely on geolocation. There is a specific technical fingerprint here that makes me call these or better to each other. Archives are, but based on CU log data I'd say they're  (can't go into a ton of detail why). The current four are ,  for whether they are Acclesius.

 * Despite the range of topics, the similarity in manner of editing is quite striking. Coupled with GN's CU findings, I'm tagging these as socks of the proposed master, and closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:28, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Same timecard, same edit summary quirks as before, roughly similar geopolitics areas. MarioGom (talk) 22:19, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Based purely on the CU result, I'd say this is very to previous sock . Editing interests and behavioural similarities remove any doubt: blocking and tagging. No other accounts immediately visible on the ranges I looked at.   Girth Summit  (blether)  10:51, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Again: timecard, edit summary styles, topical overlap. MarioGom (talk) 21:08, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

 * - While there's no direct page overlap, the timecards, general manner of editing, and edit summary similarities are more than enough to raise suspicions that these accounts are related to this group. Also note the username similarity between "" and "". Please CU to confirm and check for others. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:07, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * is extremely when compared to the last blocked sock .  is editing from an open proxy with the same relatively unique UA.--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:14, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that there is a bunch of open proxy use in this case, so that should be taken in to account with any odd CU findings.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:18, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * - the CU information in combination with the behavioural similarities convinces me that these accounts are related. Please indef Icomefromfaraway and Hermes5005. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:14, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Consistent timecard, same editing style, same edit summaries including some unique matches. Requesting CU for a sleeper check. MarioGom (talk) 19:39, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

 * There's a lot of proxy use so it's hard to be sure, but certainly on the technical data and given the behavioral backup, I'm comfortable calling it ✅ . -- RoySmith (talk) 20:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
