Suspected sockpuppets
Both users have very few edits. Specifically, 99 by User:Subverzo, who is indefinitely blocked since 11 September, and 116 by User:Dragoni_2009. Their activity overlaps in a number of articles that are about settlements in Greece and Albania. As you can see in the following diffs, their edits are either very similar or identical, and the time between their edits is just a few days. Specifically: Something else i found suspicious, is that User:Subverzo was inactive for a year, since 14 September 2022, and began editing again just a few days ago, on 3 September 2023. User:Dragoni_2009 was created on 29 August 2023; just five days prior of User:Subverzo's reemergence. Another thing is that User:Subverzo reemerged after User:Dragoni_2009 was massively reverted; not just in the aforementioned pages, but in many others as well. If there is indeed a connection, this suggests that there could be more sleepers, waiting to be revived. Demetrios1993 (talk) 01:13, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Update: Now both User:Subverzo and User:Dragoni_2009 are indefinitely blocked; the latter was blocked yesterday for disruptive editing. , since you also thought there was reasonable socking concern, do you think it is appropriate to close the case, by tagging User:Dragoni_2009 as a suspected sockpuppet; per WP:HSOCK?

 * Reasonable socking concern, technical evidence says ❌. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 20:34, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The edits are similar, but that also tends to happen in contentious topics. Given that both are already blocked, I don't think further investigation is worth it. Closing without tags. MarioGom (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
