Similar nickname pattern for most of the suspects. All of them extensively edit Belgian footballers articles with particular focus on Honours section. Similar pattern of edit comments. --BlameRuiner (talk) 07:03, 5 November 2020 (UTC) BlameRuiner (talk) 07:03, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Looking at the style with which they write their edit summaries, I actually think that these are different people, though they probably know each other and are collaborating in some way. I'm not inclined to block at this time since I don't see obvious cases of them tag-teaming; if they are disruptive they can be blocked individually.

 * I just want to point that at least three of suspects' nicknames (Jrgdp, Dplcnjrg, JDP77) are derivatives of suspected master (Jorg De Pelecijn), who is likely a journalist at Voetbal Vlaanderen, a some sort of youth football organization from Belgium. And ever so slightly different styles of edit summary is likely something that's saved in his browser(s) input field as a suggestion. You wouldn't be typing all this manually every time. --BlameRuiner (talk) 08:25, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'm curious about your conclusion. This looks like one person to me.  The copy-paste edit summaries even carry over to other wikis (for example,  vs  on nlwiki, including marked as "k", which I assume means "minor edit").  Would you mind if I reopened this and asked for CU? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:32, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , go for it. I'll add that part of the reason I didn't think they were the same is that I don't see the point (why use six accounts for fairly-normal editing?) and because this reminded me of a couple recent cases where the "socks" were participating in a good-faith editathon. If you remain suspicious, I have no objection to you doing whatever you think is appropriate. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:31, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , I've posted a query at User talk:Jorg De Pelecijn. Let's see where that goes before taking any further steps.  I'll put this on hold until they respond. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:13, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

 * I haven't seen any response to my query, but then again, none of these accounts have edited in 10 or more days (either enwiki or globally) so they're not really doing any harm, so I'm not going to pursue this any farther. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:01, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
