A case of WP:SCRUTINY; editing under alternate accounts to avoid scrutiny and, to some extent, 'misusing a clean start' as well. The suspected master, Nirdis, has had their article moved to draft due to UPE/COI by User:Onel5969 and User:Dreamy Jazz, something which they continue to deny. After further warnings, two new SPAs popped up and, to date, have only edited Falan Andrea and related articles. All use near-identical edit summaries. As Nirdis was specifically asked not to move the article back to mainspace, they have now done this under the Janten account instead. Whilst the overlap and similar edit summaries probably make this a WP:DUCK, I feel a CU would be useful because the editor is likely to kick back and completely deny that they are the same person.

 * Per the above and article history, I am suspicious of UPE and the misuse of multiple accounts. for comparison of these accounts and links to any others. --Jack Frost (talk) 11:55, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Also based on contribs and crossover on Draft: Falan Andrea --Jack Frost (talk) 12:01, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

 * is ✅ to and, and also to  and  - I'll block all these accounts.  is geolocates to the same city, but there isn't any other technical connection (different networks and user agents) - they will need behavrioual analysis.  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:53, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * My take on Edinjax is probably UPE, but that describes most new accounts who edit south asian performing arts. I'm not seeing anything that particularly ties them to being a Nirdis sock, so closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:23, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - seems ducky. The two edits seem to be restoring the same material as previous socks that got removed by an IP. See this. The comments about versatility have been restored. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:48, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Nirdis and the older socks are stale, but Maxluc91's IPs are a match with what I see in the CU logs, and the editing is ducky. Blocking, tagging as proven, closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:24, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
