The two are adding imaginary ethnic flags to "Turks in X" articles. Diffs are unnecessary since that's all they seem to be doing. M.Bitton (talk) 12:18, 11 December 2021 (UTC) M.Bitton (talk) 12:18, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm not going to investigate this one, because one account appears to have been abandoned in favour of the other - there isn't any overlap in terms of their edits. If the Mophisus account becomes active again, and feel free to re-report, but for now I'd treat it as a regular case of potentially disruptive editing (I haven't investigated the flag they're adding, but if they are indeed their own work with no official recognition then they need to stop adding them).

Both accounts make hoax/fan flags for ethnic groups in north africa and the middle east. The alleged sockmaster was made back in 2017 but only edited the past 2 weeks.

Just saw the above report and 's decline. Given the other two Georgi accounts and the age of the sockmaster, would you reconsider?  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 02:49, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The fact that there were suspicions that this is a blocked user changes things, so I ran a check, but as far as the technical logs go these accounts are ❌ to each other and to the GeorgiPergolov accounts. I did find a different sock while looking at GeorgiPergolov though, I will record those findings in a separate SPI later today when I have a bit more time.
