Comment: Master seems to be Stanley514 rather than Stanley5141. Also made exact same edits. Also added a few IPs with the exact same edits to the list. I was collecting the evidence for an SPI myself and here is what I found:

The link between Stanley514 and Stanley5141 is pretty obvious just by username alone. If that's not enough, both Stanley514 and Stanley5141 spend their time edit warring on the classification of Ukraine as Central or Eastern European. Stanley5141 is currently on a 48-hour edit-warring block because of this; the actual master seems to have been missed.

Stanley514 also did something similar on Switzerland regarding Western or Central, where they tried to remove the partial-Central classification (1, 2; 3; 4; 5), albeit consecutively instead of edit-warring in that case. The classification of Switzerland is something Stanley5141 referred to in two of their edit summaries (1; 2).

Then Stanley5141 gets blocked and suddenly, Smigelski appears on the Ukraine article, making the identically-same edit as Stanley5141's last pre-block edit.

There also seem to be two IPs involved: 192.222.138.4 and 192.222.138.18. First IP has made almost exactly the same edit as the puppeteer made here and the second IP started a thread on the talkpage here which was then edited by Stanley514 here. In all those cases--except Smigelski, who only -has- one edit so far--there is more proof, but I believe this should be sufficient.

IPs technically precede the puppeteer, but Stanley514 is the earliest name I could find. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 01:49, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Indeffed and tagged all the named accounts (master indeffed because of so many puppets and disruption). Blocked the first IP for two weeks because he edited as recently as July 19. The other hasn't edited since July 11 (also made fewer edits).--Bbb23 (talk) 17:19, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * (who hasn't edited yet but triggered the sleeper account throttle filter) and are all ✅.  was editing via a proxy, however the other available technical evidence makes them  to be the same user.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  21:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
