 * is stale. All the other listed accounts are to one another - they're all in the same country, and use the same (common) UA.  and  are perhaps  to one another - they have edited from the same IP range, and there's the obvious username similarity.  is unambiguously ✅ to the following:
 * I haven't blocked anyone yet - I haven't had time to look at the editing - but it's not looking good. Girth Summit  (blether)  16:19, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Came to my talk page to complain about User:79a (a ptwiki admin) correctly tagging their Arlyzinho BR article as a recreation of this sockfarm's favorite target, Draft:Arlyson Gomes. I expect they're regretting that now. Courtesy ping GB fan, who they similarly contacted.I suppose it's possible they just stumbled across this person's press releases about his newly self-published album and decided to make a draft and move it to mainspace over the objections of its afc reviewers, and I'm not familiar enough with this farm to block on the behavioral evidence alone. —Cryptic 23:46, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Yet another SPA working exclusively on a (fresh) promotional draft at Draft:Arlyson Gomes. The behavioral match is strong enough that I almost blocked without requesting an SPI, but there's enough recent sock activity that it would be nice to get a technical confirmation. signed,Rosguill talk 17:36, 22 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I've gone ahead and blocked on UPE grounds, as they continued promotional editing after having received a request for disclosure. signed,Rosguill talk 18:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

@Spicy I don't have access to deleted elements in the enWiki so I can't link diffs. Here are Logs.
 * There are clear connections between the user Williampará in the enwiki and in many other projects.
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=National_Artists_Club_of_Brazil + https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=156979223
 * and in other Projekts example ( .....)
 * The user Special:Contributions/Taksoh17 was created at the same time as the other accounts in the enwiki. This had an edit in the simplewiki that makes it appear that this user is the same person. WikiBayer (talk) 15:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Noting that was globally locked today for crosswiki abuse, which I believe means there's nothing more for us to do for that account despite being a clear behavioral match. I don't see a behavioral overlap with the remaining unblocked account --their edit history is full of trivial wikilink additions that is a little suspicious as possible WP:GAMING, but I don't immediately see anything that would connect them to this sockmaster or any other LTA I'm familiar with. signed,Rosguill talk 21:00, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I ran some checks to see if there were others given the extensive cross-wiki socking. I didn't check Taksoh due to lack of evidence, and they did not show up in any of my checks. Williampara and Max are ✅ to several recent socks. Wessisai looks a bit technically different (I would say to the aforementioned) but is ✅ to  from the archive. They are also confirmed to  who has made similar edits on eswiki. Spicy (talk) 21:23, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
