And a third time stating they are the creator of an article originally created by the Puppet master. -- VViking Talk Edits 15:12, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

 * , you CU-blocked the master recently and I see a lot of simultaneous blocks of (presumably) their socks. Two questions for handling this - is this sockmaster someone else we know already, and if not, were any of their socks already blocked? Trying to figure out G5 eligibility.

 * , I have no clue who it is, but my role of thumb is that if there are more than 5 accounts it’s fair to presume that they’ve been blocked before for the purposes of G5 if all the accounts are relatively new. People who haven’t been blocked don’t make 24 new accounts for fun. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:59, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , all right - want tags on the lot you blocked? GeneralNotability (talk) 02:43, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn’t because I presumed it was someone else we already have a name for, but I didn’t know who it was. I’m fine with tagging though at this point on the assumption that they’ll be around for a while and that having a place to report is more important than having the “right” master.

Suspected sockpuppets
This account recently started a new section on the Vikings talk page with the odd statement "I was (partly still am) a teen in their angst (and I am partly Slavic origin) when I decided to insert that piece", regarding the Intermixing with the Slavs section of the article, most of which was added with this edit on 17 January 2021 11:59 AM by the now indefinitely blocked sockpuppet account François-Ávila, and which Viking123456789 removed at 10:04, 24 August 2023‎, and was soon reverted. This would appear to be an admission by Viking123456789 that he is the sockpuppet François-Ávila, a sock of Sam.WikiKiwi. Carlstak (talk) 01:41, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

 * We have no current data, but based on some hints I have available to me, I'd say Viking123456789 is to several previously blocked socks.  I didn't have enough to justify doing a sleeper check. RoySmith (talk) 23:19, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It is pretty much admitted, yes, see User talk:Viking123456789. But given that 2 years have passed, the user is not being disruptive, and they are trying to fix past mistakes, I'm reluctant to recommend any action here. Keeping it open for a second opinion.

 * @MarioGom: I blocked. If they would like to turn over a new leaf, they need to appeal their block/lock -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 19:29, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
