Suspected sockpuppets

Cotson is not the oldest account, and there are many, many more socks that I'm missing. I've been noticing these users pop up for a long time (months), I'm not sure why I waited so long to report. Each account will usually create a user/user talk page before adding references to one or maybe two articles, usually with the aide of ProveIt or WP:REFILL. Then the account is abandoned. Ex. sock accounts just from the past couple days:       Even if they aren't being used simultaneously, this type of account-hopping is deceptive; that and there's got to be some hidden spam I'm not noticing, maybe it's a paid sockfarm to spam refs??

 * I don't understand why Dexiotropic was even listed here as it has nothing in common with the rest of the accounts. No tags, so closing as there is nothing left to do. Sro23 (talk) 23:13, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Dexiotropic is listed as a suspect sockpuppet in one of the above sections, which is why it was also listed here. --Deskana (talk) 23:35, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

The exact same pattern of editing: inserting three references, one of which is a spam link. As with the other accounts, user page redirected to the talk page. Rentier (talk) 12:10, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Rampnat is ✅ to and  from Group 2 in the previous case.
 * Based on the CU logs, the only possible connection to another SPI is Sockpuppet investigations/Highstakes00 but . Otherwise, we need to determine the oldest account and create a new case page. Katietalk 12:45, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The behavioural evidence looks fairly similar to me, but it's hard to say for sure with so few edits. I don't think there's much else to do here, and this has been sat around for a while, so I'm going to close this. --Deskana (talk) 23:39, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

 * ✅ to each other. They're using an open proxy (or were) so the master is difficult to nail down. That said, it's to be related to the previous filing (the one that was confirmed to Group 2) but  to either Group 1 or Group 3. That's the best I can do. Blocked without tags.
