This puppet is repeating the exact same edits as the master e.g. (puppet) and (master);  (puppet) and  (master); creation of Albanian Airways (which does not exist; it should be Albanian Airlines) as a copyright violation of  RichardOSmith (talk) 14:56, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

. Both created "Albanian Airways", also making same edits. Admin needed to block.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:08, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm convinced with the evidence presented so I blocked and tagged the account. (There's something in the back of my mind that thinks this *may* be related to another master account. However I can't recall. If we ever find out later, I'll just merge the cases.) Mike V • Talk 23:09, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Behavioural: this puppet is repeating the exact same edits as the master and also-blocked sock User:Ing.airport, e.g.: (new puppet) (Ing.airport) (Zurich00swiss) and recreation of Albanian Airways with the same content. RichardOSmith (talk) 10:54, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

. Recreating of Albanian Airways quacks loudly. Should be blocked.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:53, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

After Zurich00swiss was blocked on March 7, Zurich Airport continued to experience IP sockpuppets from the 151.29 range. Quite a few had been blocked or tagged, but Zurich Airport continued to experience low-level disruption that was still detectable and reverted by unaware editors. In the last two days I finally became aware again, and asked User:CambridgeBayWeather to protect the article. Airplane00ZRH psa was created on May 1, but by May 3 was already unable to edit the airport, and then turned to submit invalid edit requests at Talk:Zurich Airport. Seeing "Zurich"/"ZRH" and "00" in the username, I warned the user not to pretend innocent anymore, and they turned to my talk page and began showing his tail. HkCaGu (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

 * The two accounts share some edits of the exact same changes, and along with the types of articles and behaviour towards others it's clear we're looking at a sock. Blocked and tagged. &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  15:09, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Targeting the same articles. He submitted an protected page edit request at Talk:Zurich Airport, and was told he was too new and needed enough edits to be confirmed. Then he massively edited his own user page (fluff and exaggeration), and then was able to edit Zurich Airport. HkCaGu (talk) 05:15, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Obvious from the username and behaviourally - sole edit so far has been to redo the work of recently blocked user:Newdestination: confirmed sock: ; new sock:. RichardOSmith (talk) 11:32, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Behavioural: (a) User:Wjkxy told me here that he was thanked by Boeing C"100"S for this edit in which he defended User:Newdestination, another confirmed sock; (b) User:Boeing C"100"S is a copy of the pre-block User:Newdestination] page. RichardOSmith (talk) 12:32, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Same Italian-language user focusing on Zurich Airport even though it's protected. Does not seem to understand Wikipedia or what a block is. Has left an incomprehensible message on several editors' talk pages. HkCaGu (talk) 03:23, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I had previously suspected that InternationalAirlines was yet another sock of Zurich00swiss from their editing style. Also, see User talk:Wjkxy, section "nuove destinazioni pisa airport", where there is a conversation in Italian between Wjkxy and User:Newdestination (one of the other confirmed socks) which is continued by User:151.46.66.37 after Newdestination is blocked ("Ciao, sono sempre io" = "Hello, I'm still me") and then continued by InternationalAirlines.

Zurich00swiss has created many sockpuppet accounts to evade their block, generally - as here - with an aviation-related name. This account was created on 08:02 7 July 2015, four hours after User:InternationalAirlines (the previous sock) was blocked and their first edit was to repeat one of the last (since undone) edits made by International Airlines:, , then to start corresponding with User:Wjkxy, another of the socks' traits.
