per username: looks similar to. This account was registered right after 's block. And they all misuse their userpages as a web host which meet WP:U5. Besides that, Special:Diff/1154781549 indicates their awareness of the former block and clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 14:17, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

 * The accounts that were confirmed to each other above seem ❌ to this case (different continent with no proxy use detected). Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 00:33, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Not so sure what the intention of the group is but it isn't particularly disruptive. While it may look similar to WorldCup2026 at first glance, the edits have very different purposes. As they don't seem to be farming extended confirmed, I've left a note on the talk page of the oldest account and will keep an eye on the trio. As an aside,, filter 53 should not be used as an indicator as to whether a user is a sock. Closing. DatGuyTalkContribs 14:50, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
