Clear WP:DUCK, same focus on promoting Nicolás Atanes and Draft:Virus Matemático (previously deleted at Virus Matemático), adding images of Spanish math organizations (cf., who also uploaded a copyvio photo of Atanes after Remitbuber's), and creating individual ICM pages (see Draft:ICM 2018 by Mixedjust and the now-deleted ICM 2018 which was created by Remitbuber if I remember correctly). They also share the same overlinking patterns (e.g. links to dates: and  ).

This also extends to other wiki projects (e.g. Commons, es.wiki, ca.wiki) including a few other accounts that have not edited on en.wiki (e.g. and ). Should this be requested at meta for a global CU? — MarkH21talk 20:52, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the explanation! Global lock + local CU makes sense.One doesn't actually need to see the now-deleted ICM 2018 to see that Remitbuber was interested in it (e.g. ). The connection between Mixedjust and Remitbuber is evident from the combination of Draft:ICM 2018/ICM 2018, Mixedjust and Remitbuber both uploading photos of Nicolás Atanes on Commons, and Mixedjust being CU-marked as possible to Remitbuber on Commons (evidence that a CU here could see). — MarkH21talk 16:38, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm not going to process the entire case because I can't see the deleted version of ICM 2018; however, for the archive plus Cantorparadise and Lasmariposasvuelan given the extensive cross-wiki activity.  CU requests on meta won't be very useful since "global CU" (Checkuser at Loginwiki) usually has less data available than local projects do, and stewards generally only run CU on wikis that don't have active local checkusers. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 08:41, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

New account's has been to continue the block evasion at Nicolás Atanes, adding the birthplace and image uploaded by, and their second edit was to recreate Draft:Virus Matemático.

Username is a reference to Nicolás Atanes, which is an old favourite of Remitbuber (might even be the identity of Remitbuber). Same old interest in creating articles on Spanish maths. For example, Spanish Mathematical Olympiad, ESTALMAT and Mathematics and nursing.

I'm guessing that this is pretty much a WP:DUCK given that this account was created just a few hours after the last set of global locks on this farm. Mathematical Olympiad in Asturias and Mathematical Olympiad in Navarra are all within the same scope as the other Spanish Mathematical Olympiad articles created before. It baffles me why they put so much effort into these articles when they know that they will just get speedy deleted. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:32, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

I see that the school project unlocks complicate things now, but this account just recreated 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians (with the same date-month-year overlinking as the various iterations of Nicolás Atanes and Virus Matemático) for the third time after two attempts by two confirmed Remitbuber socks. This account only did so after a few dummy edits to articles about activism (in line with previous sock interests, e.g. ) and related es.wiki edits.

Perhaps this account is related to Remitbuber but separate from the school project accounts that were just unlocked? — MarkH21talk 19:58, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Creation of multiple stubs related to Spain, more specifically, Navarre. He's already blocked here and is currently asking for his unblocking with an apology. Such an apology, as many, many he's given (up to this very day), gave him the unblock on eswiki, where he keeps making stubs and just today has submitted his first math-related article, which is nothing but a plain list. I've also submitted an SPI on eswiki but it has either been dismissed or is taking too long.

I don't believe these accounts fall into the IP range in question, but I'll state here that if any admin has reason to believe any of these three blocks have accidentally impacted legitimate student accounts, feel free to unblock, regardless of the checkuser-block notation in the block log.

Is creating Spanish mathematical articles at quick pace. These articles are translations of ast.wiki or canned copies. In addition, the articles translated were created or expanded to form on ast.wiki by Remitbuber socks. Examples:

Castilian Manchego Society of Mathematics Teachers was created by Fragarkla using an image uploaded by sock and that was created on ast.wiki by Gibra191 who is confirmed sock here.

Andalusian Society of Mathematics Education was created by Fragarkla also uses image uploaded by confirmed sock and was expanded on ast.wiki by a different Remitbuber sock.

The biggest giveaway is the rapid Spanish stub creation, though. There is a small chance that I'm completely wrong here but, unfortunately, my gut feeling with Remitbuber usually turns out to be correct.

 * This is a messy case because (as noted in 03 December 2022 and 26 October 2021), there's an IP that's shared by an educational institution, where we've have a number of legitimate accounts accidentally blocked as Remitbuber socks in the past. Given that this account is already glocked, there doesn't seem to be much urgency here, so I'm just going to close this without doing any more digging.  FWIW, on the CU data alone, I'd say  is  to be Remitbubuer.
