Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

The IPs 46.199.248.88, 62.228.21.105, 217.175.209.193, all in Cyprus, edited non-constructively the article Vytautas in a quasi-identical manner (i.e. replacing the Lithuanian-language Vytautas with Belarusian Vytaut). 1st IP: on April 5, Sock 3 on April 6, Sock 1 on April 6.

Also, two of the IPs (46.199.248.88, 62.228.21.105) edited Napoleon Orda ( and ), and Church of St. Anne, Vilnius, among others, in an identically destructive way. Other proofs of clearly Belarusian nationalist (even Litvinist) POV: removing Lithuanian language for places formerly or still in Lithuania, and removing/distorting sentences that have WP:RS, e.g. ,. This is repeated behaviour, and the user was warned twice to stop ( and ), but they did not.

Litwinist - AntiLukashist also edited the article Napoleon Orda by adding the Belarusian-language name, as two IPs did, seemingly establishing a connection between them all. In the article Union of Lublin, Litwinist - AntiLukashist is in WP:EDITWAR with User:Merangs. Reverts 1, 2, 3 by the Litwinist - AntiLukashist (stopping at the third) and then one revert by an IP: 4. I think this means the user knows about the 3RR, and tried getting around with a sockpuppet. Another connection between them. --Cukrakalnis (talk) 16:51, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

 * One step at a time: I have blocked the 49 IP but I want to make it clear that I have NO EVIDENCE to connect it to the account or the other IP here: in fact I'd say that technically there is nothing to connect them. But that IP is linked to another account, blocked last year already (by ) for "Abusing multiple accounts". Obviously I can't say anything more, but what I can say is that the SPI archives link that name to Sockpuppet investigations/Kazimier Lachnovič/Archive, where the account was found to be unconnected to the subject of that SPI, with a big fat "unconnected" by --I'm stating these things for the record and do not think they warrant further technical investigation on the basis of this evidence.

 * No evidence? I got the impression that diffs of chronologically close edits, identical in content, and with similar behaviour patterns, were sufficient as evidence. Hmmm.... What counts as evidence then? Cukrakalnis (talk) 19:15, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I also find that Litwinist - AntiLukashist has been disruptively editing while logged out. I will block them for one week, but I do have my doubts about NOTHERE, given what appears to be a nationalist type of POV, but that's a matter for another court, and it might be too early to drop that bomb. In addition, it's worthwhile considering asking for semi-protection of affected articles, a matter I can not look into right now. Drmies (talk) 17:13, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

 * This is a bit messy, but the named account was temporarily blocked, two of the IPs are or were blocked, and the other IP is inactive, so everything seems to have been dealt with. Moved case to named account, closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
