Behavior This user's perseveration is on adding percentages of the White population to various Demographics of FUBAR articles, mostly in European and South American countries. The edits often list other majority White countries as a comparison. The earliest account I could find was Ireneirenegoncalves, but it appears this editor used various IPs before creating that account.

For note, blocked Special:Contributions/87.196.64.0/19 for block evasion, so I suspect there is an older sockmaster.

CU requested for confirmation and sleeper check. Also to see if there is an older sockmaster.

 * Regarding the IPs, the /19 has too many false positives and too wide a series of pages for adding to the existing partial and the /64 and /32 are too old, but I otherwise think it's this user. I think semi-protection for socking would be valid here but I haven't checked page histories. Closing. Izno (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Blocking accounts. I endorse CU for sleeper check.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 20:24, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * These are all editing from the same place with the same technical profile - not going to bother splitting hairs about who's "confirmed" or "likely" or whatever:


 * Regarding the possibility of an older master, this case reminds me of Sockpuppet_investigations/Gud111/Archive. But I looked into this before and did not find anything that would connect the two cases technically. Not sure it really matters since identifying an older master wouldn't affect the outcome of this case. Not going to comment on any IPs obviously. Spicy (talk) 23:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The following can be considered part of the Ireneirenegoncalves sock group:


 * The ranges are too varied and large to really do effective checks. I suggest liberal use of semi-protection and blocking on sight in this case, plus a quick check on the new emerging accounts to pick up any immediate sleepers.-- Ponyo bons mots 17:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Ireneirenegoncalves is already banned for their edits on "Demography of" articles. On 12 February 2024 they added to the infobox of Demographics of Turkey: "2024 98% to 99%+ is white (like in Greece, Poland 99%+, Russia, Germany, Sweden, Finland and most the rest of Europe)". Since then, other accounts added back similar content: (31 December 2023)"]

Marandrad1 made this pair of edits to Demographics of Chile, changing the data (similar to this sock version). Yosoddeus made this edit to Demographics of Argentina, editing the 'major_ethnic' part of the infobox to change the percentage information, which was also heavily edited by Ireneirenegoncalves socks. Requesting CheckUser because the usernames are a bit different and Yosoddeus was mostly just summing up the sock data, also to find additional accounts if there are any.
