Suspected sockpuppets

A large number of accounts set up in the last 2 weeks or so; creating a user page in almost identical style, eg: "From Germany I want to fix citation in wikipedia article.", "From USA want to learn article on wikipedia.". Often also a user talk page created with a very similar intro. Then makes a few trivial edits such as adding wikilinks, then makes a single edit adding a spam link, e.g. //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talking_animal&diff=759678661&oldid=751885960, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sidetone&diff=759660702&oldid=630964834, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beat_(music)&diff=prev&oldid=759657051, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wingstop&diff=prev&oldid=759559669, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Long-distance_calling&diff=prev&oldid=759534899, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Webydo&diff=759518182&oldid=759517892, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First_Colony_Life_Insurance_Company&diff=758431843&oldid=623677182.

A number of accounts set up in the past week, in exactly the same style as those previously investigated under Sockpuppet investigations/Topnespressomachine/Archive, creating an introductory user page, e.g. "From Australia to increase the knowledge and looking forward to edit wikilinks.", then adding a spam link, e.g. //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Log_cabin&diff=762969825&oldid=759340040, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barnsley&diff=prev&oldid=762726078, //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garden_office&diff=763133989&oldid=755194878. . .

 * - Please compare this batch to Topnespressomachine + co, and check for sleepers. Thanks very much, GABgab 02:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * . Frankly, I don't understand why this wasn't filed in the case the filer believes it's related to.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:04, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The case was archived. I don't know how to resurrect it. . . Mean as custard (talk) 16:53, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You go to WP:SPI and follow the instructions for opening a case. When you put in the name of a master who already has a case, the software will reopen the case for you.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:51, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Group 1 – the following accounts are ✅ to Topnespressomachine:
 * Group 2 – the following accounts are very to each other and  to Group 1:
 * Group 3 – the following accounts are ✅ from each other and ❌ to Groups 1 and 2:
 * All accounts blocked without tags. I recommend creating a new case for Group 3, moving this case to Sockpuppet investigations/Topnespressomachine, tagging the Group 1 accounts as confirmed, and tagging the Group 2 accounts however you think best. The move requires an administrator to be done properly. Feel free to ping me if you want me to merge it.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:11, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * - I tagged the socks and made a new case for group 3. Could an admin please help with the move? Thanks, GABgab 00:26, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Userpages all say something along the lines of "looking forward to edit wikilink" and all have a similar style of usernames. There is just no way that this is a coincidence... TJH2018 talk  18:52, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
