Created 2021-12-20 and 2021-12-27 with similar usernames (capitalized space-separated generic terms) to edit-war the same content    , making similar typography errors in the edit summaries (reve rr t, bold revert back ti), using abbreviations and terminology unusual for new editors ("rv", "RS"). Please confirm and check if other accounts exist. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:46, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * My very untrained eye picked them as potential sockpuppets or meatpuppets, but I was playing the rope card by warning of the DS. Happy to go down this track instead. Daniel (talk) 03:01, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

I assumed they were socks of each other also, based on Canonical jumping in to un-revert Pi Variant, with Canonical being newly created after Pi Variant starting getting undone. DMacks (talk) 23:14, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

 * - this looks pretty obvious, but since the last CU found a very old sleeper, I think it's worth a check. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 02:55, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Radiant Babie and Minor Groove look very much like one another ( to one another at least), and their IPs are consistent with what I see in the logs for - I'm blocking these two as suspected. Wenshane looks different - could be them of course, but behavioural evaluation.   Girth Summit  (blether)  14:47, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * - considering that Wenshane made the same edit as the other two accounts, I'm convinced - please indef Wenshane as a suspected sock. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 17:53, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
