All three of the registered accounts are already blocked - the first two based on behaviour, and the latter primarily for a username violation. The IP address (currently unblocked) has made identical edits to that of already-blocked AHTEURAME - compare e.g. [1] & [2], [3] & [4].

Regarding the accounts, I'm filing to request CheckUser to check for sleeper accounts (as sleepers were found in an archived case), in addition to the fact that the evidence against Sockuptery may not be sufficient to tie it to LOCK177 on its own - it seems suspicious that an account with that username edited an article ( BeIN Sports) frequently targeted by LOCK177 socks over the past few weeks (after previously remaining dormant since June 2022); however, I'm not sure that this is sufficient in and of itself for a finding of sockpuppetry from this master. (To be clear, I understand that no CU comment can be made regarding the IP).

If there are any queries, or if I've filed anything poorly, then please let me know. All the best, ‍—‍ a smart kitten_{[ meow} 23:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply

• AHTEURAME and SAKAMATABAKU are  Confirmed to each other and  Highly likely to the master,  No sleepers immediately visible. Sockuptery is using proxies which is not something the master and socks have done. As they're already indeffed, I'm not going to spend too much time thinking about what sock drawer they might belong to.  No comment with respect to IP address(es) but the IP linked in the SPI has not edited in several days so a block for any reason would not be worthwhile at this point.

Similar behaviour to other socks & to the master - addition of unsourced content, with a large article overlap to the master & confirmed socks: overlap with LOCK177, overlap with ABAHKORUPSI, overlap with LUI116X, overlap with AHTEURAME, overlap with SAKAMATABAKU. In addition, the username is in a similar format to other accounts operated by this user.

Requesting CheckUser for sleepers. I'd also ask that semiprotection is considered for the frequently targeted articles. All the best, ‍—‍ a smart kitten_{[ meow} 15:34, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
