This edit compared with this edit. Clear . Pinging @Cabayi: since he blocked the first 2. Nobody (talk) 13:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm adding more as they come. Nobody (talk) 13:36, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it's glaringly obvious they're all the same person. CU is unnecessary here. Cabayi (talk) 14:07, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cabayi If you think the disruption wasn't big enough to warrant a block, then I agree that it isn't block evasion. But I'd say it's still Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts and the edit summaries could be considered Impersonating an administrator. Nobody (talk) 14:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Spicy, I also filed a request for page protection due to the IP editing. Nobody (talk) 06:33, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Spicy I think they already created more, see here. Nobody (talk) 06:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I ran a check because one or two policy-violating usernames might be a misunderstanding, but five of them, one of which impersonates an established editor, just looks like trolling. The listed accounts are  Confirmed plus

Appears to be a joe job of an admin on the Tagalog Wikipedia who reverted their edits, User:WayKurat. Could be worth setting up an edit filter for the name they insert into articles. Schrödinger's jellyfish 06:44, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also worth adding Special:Contributions/216.247.92.86 to the pool, blocked the other day by ScottishFinnishRadish. Some others that escaped a block: Special:Contributions/216.247.90.99 & Special:Contributions/216.247.92.224. Schrödinger's jellyfish 06:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you wouldn't mind throwing User:Bot plsss man (AND User:Math bot robutic!) onto the sock pile for this and this respectively, it looks suspiciously birdlike. Schrödinger's jellyfish 07:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's also Qwe bot quattt, Unless to be Unless and Phili pageantry bot at Mutya ng Pilipinas 2017. Nobody (talk) 09:14, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also 216.247.88.65 and Cutie pitttt (Name obvious duck from last times User:Cutie edits). Nobody (talk) 09:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Suggesting to rangeblock the IP address that this vandal uses: 216.247.80.0/20. I have blocked this at tl.wiki as well. -WayKurat (talk) 10:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have also blocked Phili pageantry bot, Qwe bot quattt, and Unless to be Unless, and I have partially blocked 216.247.88.0/21 from mainspace for two weeks. Virtually all of the editing from that IP range after 9 January has been this person, so risk of collateral damage is fairly low. When I made that block I had not seen WayKurat's suggestion of a block on a larger range, but I will look into it. JBW (talk) 10:24, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have now looked at the other half of WayKurat's suggested range, 216.247.80.0/21. There have been no recent edits from that range on English Wikipedia, and at a quick glance I didn't see anything which looked relevant in edits further back either. However, I did see editing from this range on Tagalog Wikipedia from November 2023 which, judging from the topics of the articles, look likely to be relevant. (I didn't check the content of the edits.) As far as I had previously seen this had seemed to be a fairly new problem, so far less than a month old, but that makes it look more like potential LTA.

  • Not sure that tagging achieves anything in this case so I haven't bothered but no objection if somebody sees value in it that I don't. All accounts are blocked and all IPs are rangeblocked (anon only and not as a result of checkuser data). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Registered account reverts IP edit here, IP editor inserts the non-notable individual here.

That registered account uses edit summarys of others like the earlier socks did and the IP addded the usual Christian Joy Bautista (Time to get this this name on a disallow filter). Clear Ducks. Nobody (talk) 07:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some already blocked by Materialscientist and Oshwah, don't know if they saw the connection to this SPI. Nobody (talk) 07:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Spicy: Is asking for page protection better than asking for blocks to deal with the IPs since they're switching this often?

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

After the blocking of several other sockpuppets operated by this user (User:OhmyPRINCE, User:Wonderfully Editor), this account has popped up. It has the exact same user page as past blocked sock Oh marimar ahhhh and is editing the same pages as past socks. This is a WP:DUCK case but I see mentions of LTA in the "Oh marimar ahhhh" block log, so flagging for CU. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 11:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: hmm. Seeing a lot of overlap with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mutia ti la union updates. I'm not sure how to proceed with this but will leave here so a CU can look at it. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 11:41, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCK per editing behavior. Edits the same articles with the most recently blocked sock REPETITION is not allowed and has the same user page introducing themselves as a "new" editor (see here). Please check for any sleeper accounts as this vandal is known in creating multiple sockpuppet accounts upon detection. - WayKurat (talk) 02:18, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Returning to Raphaelle Ortega-David which this sockfarm usually edits, continually leaving the same messages on their own talk page featuring emojis (and in the edit summaries), generally a DUCK but requesting CU due to the proclivity of this sockfarm. ser!
