After a string of IP edits led to Tripartite Pact being semiprotected, PinkOrangeCat was created, made 10 garbage edits, then immediately restored the reverted IP edits. When PinkOrangeCat was blocked, TheMagnificent101 was created, made 10 garbage edits, and picked up the edit war. Both accounts indeffed; requesting CU for sleepers and possible connections to known sockmasters. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:02, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

 * The edits, with their attempts to add Spain/Spanish, show certain similarities to edits by an IP editor to Treaty of Trianon. Perhaps just coincidence. I have made a protection request here: Requests for page protection. Nigej (talk)

 * These two are a ✅ match, of course. There are a number of possible sleeper accounts, but they've all got a very common UA, so unless they edit, there's no way to know.
 * As for a master, in the history of Tripartite Pact, I see, who was on one of the ranges these two accounts were using. . —DoRD (talk)​ 17:05, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I noticed your request and was already looking into it; it's pretty obvious that the IP editor currently attacking Treaty of Trianon is the same as the IP user who predates creation of PinkOrangeCat. However I don't see anything really behaviourally significant between the IPs and the Zoupan case. I've semiprotected the page and I'm treating this case as a new master. Thanks everyone; closing.
