Compare this (an edit by a blocked sock of Smokva26) with MLP050's edit. MLP050 just restored the edit of Smokva26's IP-socks 85.104.71.61 and 85.104.70.10. You can see the edits of those IPs are verys similar to Smokva26 and his sock Mnl0g_044's edits. Wario-Man (talk) 15:57, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

The edits are very similar to Smokva26's SPs. Both trying to change background/origin of Subutai; new account blocked sp. Also this comment on talk page is very similar to written by another blocked sp of Smokva26. The reported user may use multiple ISPs and devices for block evasion, so please consider both checkuser and behavior/edit pattern (WP:DUCK). Wario-Man (talk) 07:01, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

 * . Same country, but different ISPs, geolocation, user agents, etc.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:26, 19 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm closing this report without action. There are too many differences for me to be convinced this is the same person, rather than a different person with similar interests. Without a hit on CU I don't think I can act.  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:37, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

 * - possible, but not quite ducky enough - can we get a CU to see whether there's a match for any previous socks?  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:42, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Same as last time. Only same country. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 17:28, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think they're the same person based on differences in writing style. My gut is that this is some kind of ethnonationalism thing, possibly multiple people coming from somewhere offsite (our friendly neighborhood checkusers won't confirm anything, of course, but the Google Books references they're adding are all .tr domains, and they're pushing a Turkic origin for Subutai).

I was led to file this SPI case after deleting Battle of Iduk Bash, an article that was created both by User:MLP050, a previous sockpuppet, and Gokturklerrr. When I went to look at Gokturklerrr's other deleted contributions, I found most of the articles deleted in Articles for deletion/Siege of Anamur were edited by both Gokturklerrr and Soldier of Seljuk 1071. They both share an interest in events in Turkey's military history around 1100-1200 which might be a coincidence but it's such a specific commonality between two relatively new accounts I thought I'd check to see if they are related. I have wondered about both accounts for a while now due to the fact that some of their page creations have either been PROD'd or nominated at AFD which is where I spend a lot of time these days. I've also noticed that neither account challenged deletion taggings or participated in AFD discussions which could be a sign unfamiliarity with Wikipedia's deletion processes or they could just want to keep a low profile.

 * Okay, well, thanks for checking, Dreamy Jazz. I appreciate you looking into this. Liz Read! Talk! 08:16, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Previously checked and called between the two named socks at Sockpuppet investigations/Gokturklerrr. Comparing to this case I think this is too stale to be able to compare. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 11:31, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Seems like there's nothing more to do here - closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:57, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
