 * On one hand, it quacks so loudly it is deafening... on the other, this new account is using some proxies and best I can technically is . They're consistently coming from a different continent, at least some of which I am sure is proxy use, some I'm unsure about. Courcelles (talk) 17:23, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

 * From a technical standpoint these look like two distinct masters editing in the same topic area. .-- Ponyo bons mots 22:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * - I'm surprised that there are two sock drawers making inaccurate edits to visa articles, but with these additional socks behavioral analysis clearly shows a distinction between them. Tagging all of these cases for Clerk attention. JapanNipponTokyo19, JapanNippon2019, NipponTokyoJapan2020, and TaipeiTaiwan2020 are all socks of Suomi2023. Please split these cases accordingly.

 * I'll reiterate what I noted in the March 27, 2024 report, these recent accounts with the Japan/Nippon/Taiwan names appear consistently technically distinct from the Denosio socks. If behavioural evidence also bears this out the SPI should be split.-- Ponyo bons mots 23:44, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

 * is ✅ to the "TaipeiTaiwan"" variant noted above. is ✅ as Denosio. Still need the cases split.--  Ponyo bons mots 19:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Don't hold your breath, although maybe they'll respond more quickly to a CU. We are suffering from too few active clerks.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:54, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Painfully aware. Can we clone you?-- Ponyo bons mots 19:58, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You'd have to research the laws on cloning. I think American law prevails. Let me know what you find out and how much the WMF is willing to pay. I don't give my DnA to just anyone, you know, and the WMF is not high on my list.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
