Suspected sockpuppets

Cotson is not the oldest account, and there are many, many more socks that I'm missing. I've been noticing these users pop up for a long time (months), I'm not sure why I waited so long to report. Each account will usually create a user/user talk page before adding references to one or maybe two articles, usually with the aide of Wikipedia:ProveIt or WP:REFILL. Then the account is abandoned. Ex. sock accounts just from the past couple days: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Even if they aren't being used simultaneously, this type of account-hopping is deceptive; that and there's got to be some hidden spam I'm not noticing, maybe it's a paid sockfarm to spam refs??

  • I don't understand why Dexiotropic was even listed here as it has nothing in common with the rest of the accounts. No tags, so closing as there is nothing left to do. Sro23 ( talk) 23:13, 24 July 2017 (UTC) reply
  • @ Sro23: Dexiotropic is listed as a suspect sockpuppet in one of the above sections, which is why it was also listed here. -- Deskana ( talk) 23:35, 16 August 2017 (UTC) reply

The exact same pattern of editing: inserting three references, one of which is a spam link. As with the other accounts, user page redirected to the talk page. Rentier ( talk) 12:10, 25 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  •  Confirmed to each other. They're using an open proxy (or were) so the master is difficult to nail down. That said, it's  Unlikely to be related to the previous filing (the one that was confirmed to Group 2) but  Possible to either Group 1 or Group 3. That's the best I can do. Blocked without tags.
