Suspected sockpuppets

obvious behavioral sock - early edit overlap on obscure article after sockmaster blocked https://sigma.toolforge.org/editorinteract.py?users=Andrewtopg&users=NormalguyfromUK&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=East_German_uprising_of_1953&diff=prev&oldid=1161263064 is a INFOBOX edit which is NormalguyfromUK's favourite gnoming.

creation of tendentious Albanian article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Operation_Breakthrough_(Military_Invasion)&action=history with magic instant editing of a draft article from Based.shqiptar.frompirok (these socks/meat puppets usually claim to be following each other so they find drafts, but there's no excuse for Based.shqiptar.frompirok to have found this so quickly)

Immediate alibi/ Excuse set up for meat puppetry/IP sharing - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Andrewtopg&diff=prev&oldid=1161439034 Awlof (talk) 20:41, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the extremely obvious naming similarities, Based.shqiptar.frompirok has now recreated as draft 1949_Anglo-American_invasion_of_Communist_Albania https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:1949_Anglo%E2%80%93American_invasion_of_Communist_Albania&action=history. This is NormalguyfromUK's preferred name for Operation Valuable and some of the last actions of NGfUK were undiscussed moves of that page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation_Valuable&diff=prev&oldid=1160443046 to the title now being created, as well as earlier undicsussed moves to this title in March https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation_Valuable&diff=prev&oldid=1147547886
There are large cut and pastes being made into the draft from Operation Valuable source- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:1949_Anglo%E2%80%93American_invasion_of_Communist_Albania&diff=prev&oldid=1163993258
There are the same extremely obscure additions being made to the new infobox - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:1949_Anglo%E2%80%93American_invasion_of_Communist_Albania&diff=prev&oldid=1163996942 - that NGfUK was making to Operation Valuable back in March https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation_Valuable&diff=prev&oldid=1147352075 Guavausher (talk) 17:05, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Hello. I'm not completely sure which account is the sockmaster but I am confident all three are run by the same individual. Fantasticer was indefinitely banned today. I had reverted an edit this user made earlier today as it was an unsourced addition and came with an oddly threatening edit summary. Three hours later, AcEagle12 restored the edit albeit with "sources" but then promptly self-reverted with another strange edit summary. Both accounts have edited exclusively on the same topics.

NormalguyfromUK (originally Albanian 7) was indefinitely banned a few weeks ago. This user's first block was on 30 January 2023. The AcEagle12 account was created on that day and edited the same talkpage.

NormalguyfromUK and Fantasticer are already indefinitely blocked but AcEagle12 is not and is now apparently going to be more active, given today's edits including the creation of a sandbox. I'm not sure whether or not CheckUser is needed here.

Thank you. --Local hero talk 17:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC) --Local hero talk 17:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

New account immediately editing Albanian People's Army and adding obscure Albanian sources [1] and the usual greater glory of Albania POV [2]

This page is a favourite of NormalguyfromUK and the Based.shqiptar.frompirok sock. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albanian_People%27s_Army&action=history.

Like both NormalguyfromUK and Based.shqiptar.frompirok, GokuRose likes to use "improved/improvement" in edit summaries
