Similar edits promoting the "International Orthodox Church" and its "patriarch". There's a similar emphasis on the dates that makes me think these are the same. FyzixFighter (talk) 17:48, 10 February 2018 (UTC) Added a second potential sock. --FyzixFighter (talk) 20:27, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Interested in adding information about Autocephalous Greek International Orthodoc Christian Church Canonical and Patriarch Francis Christopher M Maier. More than suspiciously similar to user:Maierc1982 and user:‎IOCAC.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 19:30, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Pushing the same non-notable group as previous sockpuppets, see and. The latter diff is essentially the same as the single edit by the sockpuppet. FyzixFighter (talk) 02:31, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Technically, these two are to the master based on geolocation. The behavior, however, is compelling, and while the IP(s) come back clean, I'm not going to rule out some shenanigans. Both accounts blocked without tags.  I'll leave it up to you to tag or not. Katietalk 21:46, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

commons:File:Metropolitan Francis Christopher M Maier.jpg & File:Metropolitan Francis Christopher M Maier.jpeg: the 2nd upload has more material on the edge. The 1st upload is a cropped version of the 2nd; Strange timeline. Both work on the exact same subjects as a positive duck test. Lacrymocéphale 02:19, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Continuing to promote this AGIOC thing. First edit is nearly identical in content and edit summary (claim that it is a minor edit) to most recent socks (Samfisher and Rizzofrank) on the same page. FyzixFighter (talk) 14:36, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

SPA promoting Christopher Maier and his church; their discussion style and spelling idiosyncracies are indistinguishable from previous socks. Cf and. bonadea contributions talk 12:43, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Likely a sock again trying to coatrack their extremely minor AGIOCC organization, see and Draft:Greek Orthodox Patrarchate of Pietermaritzburg and all the States of the East of the Autocephalous Greek International Orthodox Christian Church Canonical, which uses an image of Christopher Maier previously uploaded by a previous sock. WP:DUCK would seem to apply. FyzixFighter (talk) 22:38, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Spamming same non-notable group as seen and []. Although they are introducing subtle changes to the name, all the edits also push the non-notable "Christopher M Maier" as a church leader. There's a number of IP socks that have been performing similar edits recently. A CheckUser maybe helpful to identify any other sleeper accounts that might have also been created.
