Kiaator is run-of-the-mill Krajoyn, whereas Ineedisin is a bit trickier. The account focuses on Spain-related topics, and the very first edit is a typical casualty figure. What really makes me think this is Krajoyn, however, is the adamant refusal to participate in talk page discussion, is spite of several reminders, and edit summaries that are either absent or restricted to Wikipedia shortcuts. Right now, he's edit-warring on several articles simultaneously, and a report has been made to WP:ANEW. CU requested for sleepers and colocation webhosts.

Sorry CUs, but he chose to make a point. The recent edit to Roman Empire shows his current hobby: unattributed copying between Wikipedia articles. Guess he pulled a new colocation web host from his stash which needs plugging. Favonian (talk) 20:00, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Standard fare. The IP (no need to frown with privacy concerns – Special:DeletedContributions/81.90.188.201 is as good as a signature) is a bit unusual.

Curious case. Starts out targeting articles from the turf of Dopenguins and then switches to classic Krajoyn material with a foray around an Ohio high school. Krajoyn imitating Dopenguins or vice versa; possibly one of the habitual copycats? One feels like a biologist observing primitive organisms mutating in a Petri dish.

 * Nothing definite to relate this account to previous socks, but Fereson is ✅ to the following accounts:
 * , any opinion on Caminoderoma? ST47 (talk) 20:25, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting. There are some Krajoyn traits like the casualty-related edits to Battle of Chacabuco and the obsessive edit-warring on British intervention in Spanish American independence. On the other hand, Krajoyn is infamously averse to talk pages while Caminoderoma has put in an appearance there. In view of the CU result, my conclusion must be that Fereson is not a Krajoyn sock, though their edits (and username) do a good job of imitating him. Favonian (talk) 16:43, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

The pages edited by this trio are in the familiar area of Latin America, especially the Dominican Republic, but Krajoyn has chosen a new approach. Now, large portions of text are being removed as copyvios, which, if correct, is not disruptive per se, but the typical Krajoyn behavior (which got him blocked, then banned in the first place) of refusing to discuss anything on talk pages manifests itself in spite of appeals such as this. Instead, he uses mile-long edit summaries as justification. The IPs are already (range-)blocked as colocation webhosts and thus CU is not asked to make the (obvious) connection, but a request is made to look for other proxies and the odd sleeper account.

Edits of the article Rise of Rome (diff) similar to that of Roman Empire (diff), using content from historica.fandom (read what they say in the edit summary). Archasit first edited the article with an IP (196.52.21.251) and then reverts me with the Archasit account (see history). User:Mezzetto who edited Roman Empire was banned as a sock of User:Krajoyn. It looks straightforward to me. T8612 (talk) 12:46, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

The named accounts come complete with a signed confession, but CU requested for sleepers and proxies. Speaking of which, the IP is a proxy and I've re-blocked it as such. I'm not sure it's Krajoyn (though the article is one of his targets) but has previously observed that "CheckUser block: + proxy + sole use by sockmaster/LTA", so all kinds of creepy-crawlies may be found there.

Responding (unfavorably) to my recent protection of two of his favorite articles, there can be little doubt of this sock's identity but as is customary, I request CU for sleepers and proxies.
