See [1][2]. Same type of COI creations. See edit summaries ([3][4], [5][6]). It seems the second account was created shortly after the first one got reported to ANI [7]. Note that it was never addressed how these accounts have a non-financial COI to all these subjects simultaneously. MarioGom (talk) 12:59, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

- Looks like they're definitely related - either sock or meatpuppetry (my guess would be paid editing). Requesting CU to look for a link between the accounts and any sleepers of either account. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:59, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Highly likely to each other, No sleepers immediately visible. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:33, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Sock blocked indef. Master warned. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:05, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

- Rath Butcher (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) - this case was originally filed under this name as the master

Created a year ago, and then made the prerequisite 10 edits to gain autoconfirmed, then made a single in-depth edit before going dormant for a year, now popping up on several AfD's. Unusual behavior for an editor with 20 edits. Onel5969 TT me 09:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

- This should almost-certainly be merged with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Syed amjad08. UtherSRG has filed a similar report there. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 12:57, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
- My apologies, I thought I was listing Syed amjad08 as the puppeteer. Onel5969 TT me 13:04, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

- This feels like Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Syed amjad08, who is also the suspected master of Rath Butcher. CheckUser requested for the aforementioned Syed amjad case and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GermanKity, who also makes similar edits in the topic area.

- Checkuser is Inconclusive as the account is exclusively using p2p proxies (some are now blocked). I have Blocked without tags on the basis of having clearly been recruited to vote in deletion discussions contrary to the sockpuppetry policy. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:31, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

- Is there ever such a thing as a quick check when mercenaries are involved? Anyway, here are my findings.
- "Repszeu", "Chinakuku", "Wikiconsider", and "Clippercircuit" are Confirmed to "Kashem overflow". They are also Confirmed to "Kinkordada" from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rath Butcher, which I've merged into this case as the transitive principle of sockpuppetry applies - all these are related.
- "Reqsezu", "Lungstast", "Yoloengineer", and "Amranhossaintuhin" are Confirmed to each other, Possible technically to the master, and behaviourally I'm confident that they are connected (e.g. "Repszeu" vs "Reqsezu" - no way that is a coincidence). firefly ( t · c ) 18:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
- Phew. Blocking the lot, tagging accordingly, closing. firefly ( t · c ) 18:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
