In summation - I think there is cause for suspicion due to the joint activity in Salomon Morel over the past year and similar POV. Gatorzs71 is clearly not a new editor. Both Finished18 and Matcheeks show strong signs of WP:NOTTHERE (Gatorzs71 in his two edit bursts edited just Morel and a related location - so there isn't a pattern in other articles).

 * 1) What got me suspicious here is the long-term edit-warring on Salomon Morel (a Polish Jew who was an official in the post-war Polish communist state, whom the Polish post-communist state accused of post-war crimes in the 90s and who immigrated to Israel). This is a little watched or edited article that is of marginal interest to some Polish nationalists. I suspect this may be part of an older case, but that's only a hunch.
 * 2) All 3 accounts are WP:SPAs with 14, 19, and 28 edits total.
 * 3) All 3 usually don't leave edit summaries, and don't use the minor flag.
 * 4) Gatorzs71 was not a new editor when created - 5th edit, on day of creation - using perfect wiki markup and references.
 * 5) Finished18 is WP:NOTTHERE - besides marking the unconvincted and disputed Morel as a war criminal in wikivoice, their other edits have been -  Jew Marking Fritz Haber (including in Second Battle of Ypres) and marking a Jewish organization as "Jewish-Supremacist".
 * 6) Matcheeks is WP:NOTHERE - besides Morel, their edits have been to present Ewa Kurek (known for Holocaust distortion and "Jews had fun in the ghettos") as a mainstream historian based in part on WWII US intelligence report - diff, and to portray the Judeopolonia conspiracy theory as factual - diff, see also Fringe noticeboard.
 * 7) Salomon Morel accounts for 5/19 (26%) of Matcheeks' edits (Feb 2018), 26/28 (93%) of Gatorzs71's edits (April 2018, 27 March 2019), and 7/14 (50%) of Finished18's edits (June 2018, Dec 2018, 5 March 2019)
 * 8) While they don't edit Morel at the same time (though they do introduce the same POV in Wiki-voice), their very sparse activity pattern overall does have quite a few bingos - All 3 accounts were active in March 2019 (Matcheeks & Finished18 on 5 March, Gatorzs71 on 27 March). Gatorzs71 is alone on April 2018 (his only other month). Finished18 & Matcheeks both edit on Feb 2019 (24th and the 20th).

In looking through the contributions of all three accounts, the evidence appears valid. There are many edits from the same pages, and all accounts have no userpage edits. Lafayette  Baguette  talk   23:55, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Gatorzs71 is definitely ❌ to the other two. It is very vaguely that Matcheeks and Finished18 are related, but it could also be a complete coincidence. --Deskana (talk) 20:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Despite the assertion that two of the accounts are WP:NOTHERE none of them have been warned. There's no reason any of them would have seen any benefit to socking, and a lack of concrete evidence. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 14:18, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

was an WP:SPI focused on proving or highlighting that Jews collaborated with the Nazis during World War II - see. After Matcheeks was blocked, and  started going to articles on Jewish collaborators (or alleged collaborators) with the Nazis, and creating links between them via large "See also" sections (see any edit in their histories). When their edits were reverted, a new userid was created that focused on exactly the same topic, this time trying to create an article on the same topic (Draft:Jewish collaborators with Nazi Germany) to tie all these individuals together (see the "See also" section in that draft article). When most of the biographies in question were extended-confirmed protected, that userid went quiet, but a new userid started reverting editors on the same topic (see the userid history), until it was blocked.

 * Can i please any contact to those sock puppets? I would like to interact with my other I. Thanks in advance Rordayukki (talk) 20:50, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

 * The three named accounts are a match. Geographically they are very similar, but they switch between a variety of different ISPs. . Yunshui 雲 水  13:08, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Yunshui, should Rordayukki be banned, then, as Matcheeks and Tomsmith81727 already are? Jayjg (talk) 13:28, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, got called away. Yes - all three are now tagged and Rordayukki is blocked. Yunshui 雲 水 14:25, 4 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Everyone's blocked, closing. GABgab 22:23, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Rordayukki was banned as a likely sockpuppet of banned editor. A few days later appeared and created Draft:Jewish collaboration with Nazi Germany, an article identical to one created by Rordayukki and subsequently deleted. While it's obvious that StellaKubler is a sock of Rodayukki, I'd also like a CU to find sleeper accounts. Jayjg (talk) 13:52, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

 * ✅. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:27, 26 July 2019 (UTC)


 * StellaKubler is ✅,.
 * is possible to Tomsmith81727. Matching UA in a dynamic range. His edits to Chaim Rumkowski are a common thread but his behavior needs a closer look.


 * Group A are possible sleepers but will need to be watched. All are ✅ on the same IP together and created in a short frame of time with a matching common UA to Rordayukki. Dawidson1999's edits have been deleted on pl.wiki but the other two may be socking there.


 * Group B appear ❌ to the socks in this case but are ✅ to each other and editing on the same articles on en.wiki, Polish wiki and many others. Cross wiki abuse needs to be looked at with the stewards possibly involved. :


 * Group C are ❌ to this case but are ✅ to each other and appear to be socking on the Polish wiki related to ILF Consulting Engineers:
