Suspected sockpuppets
Found these spammers in the patrol logs of blocked sockpuppet. All of them are the same. The headline account is stale but the three others are recent - which means they've been at this for quite a while and there are likely more. MER-C 18:25, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

 * @, I think something went awry with the tagging—did you mean to replace 's tag from the GermanKity case? Apologies if I've misunderstood something. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Extraordinary Writ - Uhh nope... That's weird. I wonder if this might be a bug with the SPI tool. - Thanks for letting me know. :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   03:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

 * They geolocate to the same country and area, but are all using different (extremely wide) IP ranges. I did poke through each range, and I didn't see any other accounts exhibiting the same pattern of editing, so . I'll block and tag as obvious socks are obvious, and I'll close this SPI report.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:14, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
