Both StormTracker123 and The Phillipines 123 have recently been making highly similar edits to 2014 North Indian Ocean cyclone season; see this thread on the talk page. Both editors also appear to be based in the Philippines, or at the very least, interested in them. Philippines' Best made [ this edit] to StormTracker123's talk page, giving them a barnstar. The userpages of Philippines' Best and The Philippines 123 are also somewhat similar in their usage of bold text. (Yes, I know this argument sounds odd, but let's just say they have similar editing styles.)

Thanks in advance. Cloudchased (talk) 21:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

 * StormTracker123 has i think admitted to having multiple accounts in this Diff. Since i think we are dealing with a rather young person here, who might be a decent editor with a bit of traning i think we should tell him to pick one account and stick with it.Jason Rees (talk) 21:51, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

 * All of these accounts are ✅ matches to one another:
 * As far as CU can see, PhilippineMaster is the oldest account. I agree with Jason Rees that this editor needs some counseling about using multiple accounts and editing in general. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:27, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

The user has, like, been editing Filipino and school-related articles as well as generally editing tropical cyclone-related articles, and also has an odd familiarity with Wikipedia itself. Cloudchased (talk) 02:44, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

There are two main themes here: airports/airlines and natural disasters (mostly storms). The master created Coronon Rizal Airport (deleted as a hoax). Two of the puppets, Democratic123 and HollywoodStar121, contributed to the article. Democratic123 created Coronon Airways (deleted as a hoax), an article about a non-existent airline that operates out of the non-existent Coronon Rizal Airport. HollywoodStar121 added the airport as a destination to another article. Besides the similarity in user names between HollywoodStar121 and BobStar101, BobStar101 has only one edit. Democratic123 added storms to this article that have nothing to do with the charity the article is about (or at least no source for it). Immediately following Democratic123's addition, BobStar121's sole edit was to add another storm to the charity article, also no relevance. There are more examples of disruption but I just wanted to give enough to tie all three accounts together.

I'm asking for CU for sleepers and also because I'm not sure that EditorHelper123 is the master. There appears to be a lot of socking involving the Philippines and involving storms with other masters, and I want to make sure these accounts are not connected to any of them.
