All edits of all three accounts are to Minnesota municipalities or roads, extremely high overlap among the three accounts. There are many substantive overlaps: e.g. changing the political affiliation of the mayor of Edina vs, for example, or using "far western" in describing the location of Wayzata  vs  vs. JBL (talk) 01:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging, who has blocked Tim237 and Dede55673 as socks, but perhaps is not aware of this report. --JBL (talk) 19:07, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Adding new obvious troll account, as well as new account Lacosimon whose first edits are again on the same subject and also involve the same kinds of edits to town locations (compare, , , all editing the distance from Wayzata to Minneapolis). --JBL (talk) 14:03, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Brand-new account, also editing 100% focused on Minnesota towns and politicians; the most tell-tale edit is changing political affiliation based on nothing (compare, ). JBL (talk) 00:04, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Now a second account, and ditto:. Requesting CU to check for additional socks. --JBL (talk) 12:02, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Something very weird going on with these accounts (and probably others). Multiple redlink usernames, all with fewer than 10 edits apiece, all (with this exception) minor edits to Minnesota politicians, often to add military logos to the userboxes or to change Democratic Party (United States) to Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. I don't see disruption, per se, but they're obviously related, they've done some minor edit warring, and they are popping up all over my watchlist. Checkuser requested because every time I check the edit history of one these pages, I find another one or two accounts; I have no idea how many there actually are, but I'm sure it's more than I've listed here.

Another one of these new accounts that seems determined to edit the party affiliations of Minnesota politicians. Requested CU to sweep for them, since there are usually multiples. Grandpallama (talk) 17:22, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * There are similarities, and there has been a lot of this going on lately, endorsing sweep.  Girth Summit  (blether)  18:36, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Going to have to go ❌ on this one. ~TNT (she/they • talk) 22:01, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Not enough to go on to block absent a CU hit. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:13, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
