There are two articles which have had sporadic throwaway accounts since mid-2018: Rape during the occupation of Germany and Soviet partisans. In both articles, these accounts are adding pro-Soviet views from contemporary Russian sources: Previously these socks have been discussed in Sockpuppet investigations/YMB29.

What could be achieved with CU is that we could know whether the person in these two articles is the same, since they don't edit both articles, and possibly uncover more socks since they are a prolific creator it seems. It's very likely they are the same person because they just created a new username with a a slight change in both articles: Fuzzythroat ➜ Fuzzythrot (edits rape during the occupation of Germany) & LegitimateProfit ➜ LegitimateProft (edits Soviet partisans).

I created a 3RRN report for the newest account, but with AlexanderIvanenko wikilawyering there, edit-warring with him seems to be a waste of time. There has to be another way. Pudeo (talk) 21:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Stale
 * Summerisfunday


 * Although LegitimateProfit is stale, the cu log gives the same exact city (not in Europe) as the confirmed/likely socks above making him.
 * These socks do not appear to be YMB29 based on location...2000+ miles away. Jacob Peters is although location is > 100 miles from the main area that was associated with him and his socks.
 * Both articles semi-protected one month and I'm indeffing all but Summerisfunday...if it shows up then we can check it then.

The day after Albertpda's most recent sock, Cafe20128, was banned, Shemakesmynosebleed appeared and immediately started editing articles related to the 2020 Belarusian protests, eg., from the same point of view Cafe20128 did - in particular, focusing on discrediting the flag used by protestors, vs.. They have also edited Russia and China-related articles from the same POV that Albertpda's socks have in the past, eg.. --Aquillion (talk) 15:25, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm starting to see this as a case of long-term abuse. I strongly believe, if not recommend that a LTA report should be created ASAP.  SMB9 9thx   my edits  02:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I am inclined to call these accounts socks of LegitimateProfit and move this report of Shemakesmynosebleed from Sockpuppet investigations/Albertpda to Sockpuppet investigations/LegitimateProfit. For now, I am blocking the new account without tags, and if any clerk or admin agrees with that assessment, please make the move and tag. ST47 (talk) 03:00, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
