Suspected sockpuppets
Just for the record: I've blocked Poetesswomenedits1987 as a sock of Rrarteditor as he/she re-added the same copyvio to Francesco Clemente. Rrarteditor was (re-)blocked by on 11 January for socking, but I don't know with which account(s). CU requested in case there are others lurking.

 * Actually it looks as if Ivan left a block notice for socking but did not actually re-block the account – my earlier indef for continued copyvio after warning is still in place. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ivan CU-blocked Jonnyartisteditor82 at about the same time (ty!). Other recent SPAs at the Rita Ackermann article include Ellenpotterpeterpan7, MisterPaletteBrush2578 and Elizabethmartinez22. Sock or meat, all seem to have been painted with the same palette brush. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your clear exposition of an unclear situation, . I don't know if this is something I should ask or you can answer, but might the data be consistent with an organisation with branches in Zurich, London, Somerset, Gstaad, St. Moritz, Menorca, Monaco, Hong Kong, Manhattan, Southampton (New York) and Los Angeles? Because the common factor linking Ackermann and Clemente is this.
 * The behavioural similarities seem to me strong – the (mostly) similarly-formed usernames, the interest focused on this narrow range of topics, and particularly the closely similar edits made to the Clemente article by Rrarteditor and Poetesswomenedits1987 – but if the CU result conflicts with that evidence then I'm not sure how this should proceed. Any suggestions welcome! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Hmm, the CU results are not very straightforward. These accounts are ✅ to each other (Group 1):
 * Rrarteditor
 * Jonnyartisteditor82
 * Separately, the following accounts are ✅ to each other (Group 2):
 * Poetesswomenedits1987
 * Separately, the following accounts are to each other (Group 3):
 * MisterPaletteBrush2578
 * Elizabethmartinez22
 * Ellenpotterpeterpan7
 * The three groups are to be the same exact person, in my view (it's  at best). I suspect this is probably WP:MEAT, i.e. there could potentially be multiple people coordinating to promote the subjects of the articles these accounts have edited, such as Rita Ackermann.

 * , if you're convinced that they are improperly colluding to promote a subject (i.e. WP:MEAT) they can be blocked for that regardless of the CU results. Spicy (talk) 23:32, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * - I tagged the first group as confirmed. I'd suggest a block for the third group for meatpuppetry. MarioGom (talk) 19:05, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged to as proven and  as suspected.  you'd like to leave the second group alone? DatGuyTalkContribs 21:38, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Tagged Poetesswomenedits1987 as suspected. Serser42nyc has zero edits, so I'll leave it alone. Closing. MarioGom (talk) 21:40, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Just for the record: I've indeffed this account which, like Rrarteditor and Poetesswomenedits1987, added copyvio from here to Francesco Clemente. Please tag if appropriate. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

 * CU doesn't seem to link it to any of the other accounts - MEAT seems a possibility. Tagging as suspected.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:28, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
