Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

AuoueioA was indeffed for edit warring on the article List of oldest continuously inhabited cities, a few days later account Isnisonis was created, went straight to the talk page of the article and began edit warring to unarchive a talk page message left by AuoueioA, including demanding that the bot operator prevent AuoueioA's message from being archived. There are a number of behavioural similarities between the accounts, including making false accusations of vandalism against other editors with near identical edit summaries ("rev vand" or "rev vandalism") , edit warring, and both accounts starting their editing career by making nonsense user pages and talk pages. 192.76.8.91 (talk) 01:57, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

 * . I found the following account which is ✅ to Isnisonis: Given the behavioral overlap, especially on Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, .  There is another account that came up in the check, which is also a mix between possible and likely, whose behavioral overlap is less obvious. However, I believe it is also related to AuoueioA: . Despite being a relatively new account, they were able to find the talk pages of two administrators to ask them to intervene in an editing dispute . The account also uses a variation of the "rev vand" edit summary . Compare also the wording of these two messages: . There are a few more similarities I could point out, but I think this is enough already to justify blocking, in combination with the technical evidence. All accounts, closing.

 * PimpSimp is ✅ to . As for RetroTetra, they were using at least two distinct anonymizing connections which the other group also uses, and a device in common with all of them, and I believe this is sufficient to call them confirmed as well. I will update the tags momentarily. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:27, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
