Suspected sockpuppets
New account created a week after the original was blocked. Same topic areas (Slovakian politics), same aggressive attitude with endless reverting. See these two edits at Direction – Slovak Social Democracy in which the new account returns to continue removing sources being removed by the original account (which was blocked for edit warring over them).

 * ; picking up right from where the blocked sock left off. The entire /18 appears to be this user on a reasonably dynamic IP. In the first instance let's go for a block, with a rangeblock and/or page protection the next step. - Please block the IP for 72 hours. --Jack Frost (talk) 11:16, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

They are doing an edit war on National Council of Slovakia in a similar way as Igec133 did on Opinion polling for the next Slovak parliamentary election (manual reverts without summary and they are similarly active on many Slovak articles simultaneously) and his account first became active on 7th August (about 2 weeks after 178.143.96.6 & Jurajec6) but i'm not an expert on this topic it is only a suspicion.

Editing in User:FiliusLibertatis/sandbox. Since is a confirmed sock of Igec133, I assume it's an obvious sock. Liliana UwU (talk / contribs) 12:44, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Long-term disruption on Slovak political articles. Have already blocked this account per DUCK, filing this here for the record. See a recent complaint at User talk:Number 57 EdJohnston (talk) 04:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Based on behavior i've also blocked Special:Contributions/178.143.96.0/20 for two months. Evidently it is the same guy. EdJohnston (talk) 04:49, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

IP falls under the range of, which is the IP of. This IP also made an edit to the sandbox of, a confirmed Igec133 sock. This user has previously edited in January 2023, as evident by this discussion that I've opened on Number57's tp. Vacant0 (talk) 15:07, 4 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Considering that you've proposed extended confirmed protection for certain articles in January, do you think that this is still a viable option? Vacant0 (talk) 15:20, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

 * I'd be happy to put ECP on a few of the main Slovakian politics articles (starting the most recent elections, OLANO and National Assembly), and add it to any further ones edited by Igec socks. Cheers, Number   5  7  16:17, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

As evidenced by previous SP investigations, this IP falls under the range. Additionally, the IP has made edits to Slovak politics, which is the area that Igec133 also used to contribute to. Vacant0 (talk) 09:19, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Large edits made to Direction – Slovak Social Democracy, an article that Igec133 edited on their main account and subsequent sock accounts. The IP falls under the range which was already confirmed to be Igec133. Vacant0 (talk) 12:17, 6 July 2023 (UTC)


 * , you might be interested in this. They've made even more contributions since this API case. Vacant0 (talk) 08:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
