Suspected sockpuppets
Based on article intersection and editing platforms, this is obvious socking as spotted by. The only reason I'm filing is to request a check for others. The sock never talks. The only time the master talked they did so using "we". Bbb23 (talk) 17:30, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

 * - you can consider these two as ✅. I don't see any others; I'll leave blocks to your discretion, I haven't looked at the editing in detail.  Girth Summit  (blether)  09:04, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I've been reviewing the accounts' edits for a while now, and my conclusion is they are sufficiently disruptive to warrant indefinite blocks. As I already noted, this person does not talk anywhere, including responding to problems on their Talk pages. The other (inferior) method of communicating is through edit summaries. Neither account uses edit summaries much. The master does it about 30% of the time, and the sock about half of that. But worse, when they do use edit summaries, they are often false. For example, in this edit the master changed the membership number and added the political position with an edit summary "Fixed grammar and new words"; in addition, they improperly marked the edit as minor. In this edit the sock account changed some entries in a table, including color, languages, and addition of a new entry with an edit summary "Fixed grammar, edit words, new paragraphs, and great facts" - this has nothing to with grammar or editing words, and I have no clue what "great facts" even means; arguably, by adding an entry to the table, with very bad English one could say that's a "new paragraph". The edit was marked as minor. The master account made this edit on the same article with the same edit summary when all they did was to remove part of an entry from the table. For these reasons, the implied incompetence, and the significant editing of the same articles, I intend to block indefinitely.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:34, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
