What caught my eye is that User:Rsazr recreated the page Landing on Gagra which was deleted via G5.
- Topic Interests - Same interests as blocked socks, Middle-eastern military history lists and articles.
- Article Interests - Chiefly List of Georgian battles which multiple suspected socks and the master have edited.
- Edits - Similar edits on List of Georgian battles such as here and here. Also here and here. User:Rsazr has also made similar edits as a previous blocked sock User:Nugoooo. Examples include on the same list, here and here.
I think the topic interests quack the loudest. Pinging Bbb23 as the blocking admin of previous socks. Seawolf35 (talk - email) 18:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thought I just might add this for the record, editing patterns often involve changing flag icons and adding stuff about Abkhaz sepratists with wikilinks into articles. Seawolf35 (talk - email) 18:38, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Adding User:Brjezierski per below comment. Seawolf35 (talk - email) 03:00, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

- I think User:Brjezierski should be added to the list for a look. See user history.
- Endorse the review of Cutoc, due to account history. // Timothy :: talk 02:37, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

[edit]- Blocked and tagged. Leaving the CU request in case someone wants to look for others. Although the account was created the same day, technically Rsazr is older than Nugo20299, but I see no need to change the master unless an earlier account is found. Bbb23 (talk) 22:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- The filer posted to my Talk page saying that they think Shnorakalutsyun is another sock. The behavior looks the same to me, but for the moment, I haven't blocked them. They were created a couple of days before the earlier two accounts I mentioned before, so they would be the master if no other accounts are found. At this point, I think it best for a CU to be run. I may block the latest account anyway if the CU isn't run "soon". I know the CU requested category is backed up.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:40, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- I took a look and, youch, this needs a more detailed look than I have time for right now. Looks like the following are socks:

- I want to be clear, though, I'm not yet confirming them and I'm not making any claims back to Nugo20299 yet. I'll take a more detailed look tomorrow morning unless another checkuser comes along in the meanwhile. --Yamla (talk) 01:59, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

- I will block and tag. Clerk assistance requested: I think these findings should be copied to the other cases. If so, please do so. Also, please let me know if I missed anything. --Yamla (talk) 13:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Done, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ArsenalAtletico2017 and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Movaigonel. Tagged the outstanding Nugo accounts. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 23:34, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

User recreated Battle of Choloki (1918) and Battle of Mokvi monastery previously G5'ed by another sock, Nugoooo. Battle of Choloki (1918) log and Battle of Mokvi monastery log and then Battle of Ochamchire, previously G5'ed by another sock Rsazr, Battle of Ochamchire log. I can't see the G5'ed page Gagra offensive created by sock, Nugoooo, otherwise I'd compare it to Battle of Gagra (1919) created by Baey123. Same topic interest, particularly List of Georgian battles and Abkhazia operation: diff 1 and diff 2. Annwfwn (talk) 13:09, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- I cannot link Baey123 to other accounts based on technical evidence, though they editing on busy ranges with some proxy use, so I may have missed something. I cannot rule out meatpuppetry. Behavioural evidence needs evaluation Vanamonde93 (talk) 00:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Many of the articles seem like translations from Georgian Wikipedia, but aside from a shared interest I'm not able to find behavioral evidence to tie these accounts together. Closing without action The WordsmithTalk to me 17:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

A confirmed sock of Nugo20299, before getting blocked, changed "etnic" to "etnhographic" [1] and removed "ethnic" category [2]. After being blocked, another user does the same thing [3]. Please also check for other active or sleeper socks because there might be more given the history of Nugo20299. Vanezi (talk) 09:35, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- I've not got a lot of technical evidence to go on but from what I've got I'd say this is Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely). That combined with the behaviour is enough to block. Blocked and tagged. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Callanecc I see you tagged this account then reverted it. Was that intentional? RoySmith (talk) 15:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
