Initial check was due to activity at Articles for deletion/Tequila Mockingbird (song). They have also overlapped at Roxanne Seeman, Articles for deletion/Tahiti Hut, and on zhwiki. See results below. ST47 (talk) 01:54, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Rosedelune, CareKidney, and USC Ben Tan are highly to each other, with an outside possibility of multiple users from the same residential IP.
 * I suspect that Pziders is the correct master based on the history of Roxanne Seeman, but.
 * Hiroman60 appears to be at best, same geolocation but no other similarities in the technical data, . The overlap on two AfDs is enough for me to block behaviorally.
 * All accounts except Pziders pending further discussion/investigation. Comments on a few AfDs may need tagging as SPA edits. ST47 (talk) 01:54, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * A few other possible older accounts, for the record:
 * , including on frwiki and at commons
 * , including at commons
 * It appears that most accounts in this farm have attempted to upload similar images to commons, which have since been deleted. In some cases, accounts were temporarily blocked from commons. Some accounts have also contributed to articles related to Roxanne Seeman on eswiki and frwiki. ST47 (talk) 02:00, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you believe that a lock request might be in order? The SandDoctor  Talk 19:36, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Probably ready to close. Don't think a global lock is necessary, as there is an unblock request in progress. ST47 (talk) 11:51, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * ST47 - If is not related to the four listed sock puppet users, then this SPI report needs to be renamed and re-filed to be under the correct master. Can you confirm that Pziders is unrelated? If so, I'll rename and re-file this case. Thanks -  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   22:14, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Re-opening case pending a response, confirmation, and possible renaming so that it doesn't get archived beforehand.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:15, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I suspect that is the original account that was being used by this person, but it's too stale for checkuser. Feel free to rename the case. ST47 (talk) 22:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * ST47 - Thank you for the clarification. If there's a level of suspicion regarding the master but we're not sure, that's different than a checkuser determining the master to be unrelated (where in that case, we'd rename the case). Perfect; we're all set then. I'm going to re-close this case.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:29, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Two of the accounts might be stale, but I'm hoping for login data. Blablubbs&#124;talk 22:14, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * lots of overlap with each other and the master, most on very obscure pages, e.g.
 * Highly similar, very robotic edit summaries e.g.
 * Very similar nondescript, UBX-heavy userpages, compare also the creation summaries here and here

 * – per above. Please compare the accounts to each other and the CU logs and look for sleepers. Thanks and best, Blablubbs&#124;talk 22:18, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comparing to the CU logs of the previous accounts in the archive:
 * - no available data:
 * The "possible" user is in the same area as the WHOIS of the previously blocked socks in the archive. The "unlikely" group are in different countries and geolocations. That's all I can really give you, unfortunately...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:57, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Any signs of proxy use? I'm basically convinced that Avocadoheaven and Rose and ice cream are the same person, so I'm sort of surprised at their being in different countries. Blablubbs&#124;talk 23:01, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Blablubbs - Proxy use? I'd say it's possible, sure.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   23:08, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Noting that I'll leave this to another clerk to review – I'd appreciate a second pair of eyes. Blablubbs&#124;talk 09:15, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that there are several behavioral similarities that are quite suspicious, but having looked at the data, it seems like they are different people. I'm not really seeing obvious signs of proxy use either. Many of the accounts now also look abandoned. For these reasons, I am closing this case without action. Mz7 (talk) 19:31, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
