Suspected sockpuppets
Both accounts active on Culture of Sweden edit warring about adding images, with Sidor0o directly restoring Plateadt's edit here. In addition an IP appeared out of nowhere and also restored the added images here. Overall both accounts show overlap with a focus on countries cuisines and cultures. Checkuser can help confirm if the two accounts are the same individual engaging in sockpuppetry. --TylerBurden (talk) 22:07, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Showcases same interest in ″culture of″ articles, specifically Culture of Norway, Culture of Sweden and Culture of Finland and edit warring habit to add their preferred images etc. For example adding the same textiles. It seems like quite loud quacking when several IP's show up making the same edits not long after the block of Sidor0o. TylerBurden (talk) 21:14, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

 * - is a fairly wide range, and while I'm not sure all contribs are from the same user, I see little constructive editing, and a lot of outright disruption . Please, consider short soft-block. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 21:04, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm hesitant to block this range because it is a rather wide range and where there's a good bit of disruption on the range, there's also innocuous edits that seem like they're all from different editors, and I'd hate for someone to get caught in a block unnecessarily. The IPs in this SPI haven't edited since October 1 so it's likely that a block to the range wouldn't stop this particular disruption, especially if it was a short block (again given the size of the range), though I do see edits like  as recently as October 15.  However, that's still no similar activity in 10 days and it seems like a lot of articles to p-block (you can only p-block from 10 articles) but what do you think about doing a p-block on the range from these articles for maybe 3 months: Culture of Finland, Culture of Sweden, Culture of Norway, Culture of Kenya, Culture of Somalia, Culture of Ethiopia, Religion in Ethiopia, and Culture of Europe? It's not a perfect solution but that would minimize collateral on the range, but maybe I'm overthinking it. - Aoidh (talk) 09:44, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds very reasonable to me. MarioGom (talk) 20:20, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅. Given that it's a narrow set of articles I've p-blocked them for 6 months from the above set of articles, but I noticed recent activity on other articles as well so I'll keep an eye on the range for a while as well. - Aoidh (talk) 23:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look at this case! Before I archive, just wanted to mention that it looks like you forgot to fill out the block reason field on the partial block you made: Special:Block/2A00:23EE:1000:0:0:0:0:0/39. Could maybe just throw a link to this SPI case in there. Mz7 (talk) 07:17, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Whoops sorry about that, updated the block log with a link to this SPI. - Aoidh (talk) 09:59, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
