See Talk:Alternative for Germany. Some of the evidence is based on editorial idiosyncrasy--the observing attendant will see what I mean. Same arguments about the character of the AfD are made by the various accounts, along with supposed evidence (and general forumposting and trolling about THE LIBERAL MEDIA. CU evidence is a perfect match. There may be a few IP edits on that talk page that need scrutiny as well. I'm blocking, not yet tagging; I'm also wondering if some of you experienced SPI editors have seen this cat before. Drmies (talk) 17:59, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Is it a cat--- or a frog.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 20:53, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

 * I would throw in there. I wonder what's the general stance in :en:Wikipedia about spooky lists of users created by single purpose accounts (?). Because it looks creepy.--Asqueladd (talk) 22:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It does. Blocking this per DUCK. Drmies (talk) 23:55, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I have only seen PLO69, Fund24, Advodiaboli commenting on disk. all seem to be newbies, not familiar with NOR (quite normal) and discussing. no harm was done. CU should always be used as last resort. have not looked into the other accounts. AGF and let it go. --178.38.131.232 (talk) 09:50, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * 178.38.131.232, I think all those accounts combined have exactly as much experience as you do--no, wait, you have all of that plus one more edit. Also, haha no. Drmies (talk) 21:43, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that is also part of this? Only made a single comment on the talk but it was just soapboxing with lots of "outrage". May of course not be connected at all though. Just a possibility perhaps. 91.97.251.107 (talk) 11:24, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That's a negative, though I admit they all sort of sound the same. Drmies (talk) 21:45, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thats why i suggested it. But it is a contentious topic so the "outrage" is to be expected i guess. Sorry for having wasted your time anyway. By the way, would i have needed to inform the user i suggested? Hopefully won't have to use this process again but knowing the etiquette/process never hurts. 91.97.251.107 (talk) 23:09, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah never mind, i see there is a guide. Everything i should need to know surely is availible there. 91.97.251.107 (talk) 23:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I really don't want to report everyone making comments on the talk but would it be possible that is another sock? Same agenda with adding "pro-trump" as a political position as well, alluding to one sided media coverage and so on. There also is a connection between the geo-location of someone involved on here and the talk and the name of that account(and yes, i am incredibly nosey and look at those things haha). Now, if they are the same as all the socks before i of course cannot say. And again, sorry to bother with this. 37.138.74.129 (talk) 13:50, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
