User edit in the exact same style. A perfectly created promotional article in a single edit. Picture is from the person in question that Mtakaha uploaded. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:48, 21 April 2019 (UTC)  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 03:48, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

 * , I'll leave the blocks and sorting out what is going on here to you and let the clerks figure out tagging. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:20, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay blocked them all and added to this Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Mtakaha4u
 * Plus deleted or moved their content to draft that had not been worked on significantly by others. Thanks. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 04:50, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking through these. I changed them back to regular SPI blocks since they were made on behavior after the technical findings (I wasn't blocking as a CU, but wanted another admin to do a double check on behaviour). could a clerk please move this to the oldest account and tag the user pages/ clean up the talk pages? Thanks so much for your help :) TonyBallioni (talk) 05:00, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Case moved to Ramskq. Tagged per master account, closing.. Removed older tags from talk pages since that's no longer master account and it was populating both user page and talk pages in category. I think a Sockblock template would be right instead of sockpuppet. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 05:50, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

 * All of the above accounts are ✅ to one another. They are using proxies, so inconclusive on that end as the original accounts were not on proxies, though with the behavioural overlap and some of the other technical details, my suspicion here is that these accounts started using proxies when the last batch of socks was blocked. All accounts . TonyBallioni (talk) 01:30, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
