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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Highly likely to each other, No sleepers immediately visible. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:33, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sock blocked indef. Master warned. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:05, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
My apologies, I thought I was listing Syed amjad08 as the puppeteer. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:04, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Phew. Blocking the lot, tagging accordingly, closing. firefly ( t · c ) 18:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Off-wiki evidence which I'll submit to paid-en after this (UPE...), but I can also send it via email to interested admins. What I'll say here is that Turjaaa has an overlap on Harold Parker (civil servant) with the master account of this case, and both the accounts immediately declare a COI with the subject on their userpage [8] [9] vs [10] [11]. Asking for a CU because the first sock (Turjaaa) is about to go stale and I have reason to believe there are other accounts to be found. The second sock should already be stale and I'm filing it for completion. Pahunkat (talk) 17:26, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sent to paid-en queue. Pahunkat (talk) 17:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given the behaviour of the accounts (self declare COI), edit , dip, there probably isn't a lot done to be left here. I can still send the evidence to admins interested in placing blocks, else this can probably be closed. Pahunkat (talk) 18:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Check declined by a checkuser - unfortunately, both accounts are now Stale. Spicy (talk) 21:09, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
