During the stage of the final vote in this RfC, multiple red-ink accounts suddenly descended, having few, if any, other contributions to Wikipedia up to that point, all in support of a certain option: here, here, here, and here by the oldest account, all recorded in the page's history. The episode stinks of dirty socks. - The Gnome (talk) 17:03, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I addded the kamikaze account of Mr nick man (diff) in the mix. Their so far successful evasion of identification seems to embolden them. -The Gnome (talk) 12:27, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The suspected puppet-master is evidently passionate about the subject of Czar Nicholas seeing as they have been, within a short time period, reprimanded three times for inappropriate edits in it. (See this talk page.) -The Gnome (talk) 21:47, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * They keep 'em comin'! Here's another one, Peeragemaster589, fitting right in. -The Gnome (talk) 08:26, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

 * I beg your pardon? "puppet-master" 😂 When i edit any page about the reign of Nicholas II, it is because either improve it, or to at least limit the already-disprooved myths about thy monarch, since for already listed reasons his characters is to be rewritten at least in part, to replace the parts of such pages that call im "incompetent" or related, as all sources confirms that, statistically speakings, one of the greatest leader of Russia; between 1907-1914 Russia was the fastest growing economy in the wrold, and Nicholas agreeded to create the first Russian constitutional democratic Monarchy. The economy turndown between 1914-17 can't be blamed on him for it was the war that caused, as in all major nations invoved at the time... Best regards Mattia332 (talk) 01:24, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌ from a technical standpoint. Keeping as 'open' so that a behavioral analysis can proceed...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:47, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Closing with no action taken. Yes, this is a bunch of users (many of which are relatively new) who all converged on Czar Nicholas with similar opinions.  Yes, many of them appear not to be native English speakers.  But I just don't see enough to convince myself this is socking.  I looked in particular at the two older accounts (Mattia and Joker) which both date back to early 2018 and in particular don't see enough there to convince me those two are the same person.  I'm more receptive to the idea that the more SPA-like accounts created this year might be socks of one of those other two, but again, not confident enough to block on behavior alone, especially given the "unrelated" result from CU.  Lots of people have an interest in European royalty, so this being a bunch of different people (perhaps canvassed off-wiki) is not unreasonable. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:14, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
