Suspected sockpuppets
Everyone whitewashing Aaron Parnas. Everyone except the master edits no other articles. The master edits other political articles, particularly controversial ones. Lengthy detailed edit summaries common. English style in edit summaries and Talk page comments similar. Master stopped editing (after numerous warnings on their Talk page) two days before Jol451shore1 was created and started editing. 23tyler12 1 has only a few edits and is stale; I put them and the IP range in for the record and for additional behavioral evidence. I've requested a CU for the two non-stale users to confirm. Bbb23 (talk) 15:42, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

 * - I wouldn't mind another pair of eyes on this one. The non-stale accounts are both editing out of the same wide IPv6 range, and share a common UA; however, they're each sticking to a specific /64 range within the wider one, and the geolocations for those narrower ranges are a decent distance from one another. I'm in territory, but would appreciate a second opinion. (, if you're around, I'd be interested to hear your take on this - by email if you think necessary.)

 * OK, so I've discussed this off-wiki with another CU, who has more familiarity than I do with how IPs are assigned in the country in question, and we're thinking most likely ❌. My earlier comment about the same UA was inaccurate - they use devices made by the same manufacturer, but they are actually different UAs, and aside from sharing a widely used ISP there's nothing else to connect them.

 * At this point, the IPs haven't edited in a month, quite possibly because the common target Aaron Parnas was protected for most of that time. I'm going to close this.  If there's really socking going on, I would expect they'll start back on Aaron Parnas again, but we'll know soon enough. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:31, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
