Suspected sockpuppets

I see that the sock is already blocked, but the other user continues to edit. Fresco2014 was created (16:10, 4 April 2024) only 4 hours after Makks2010 was given a TBan (12:59, 4 April 2024). Both inserted a "In popular culture" section at Usha Mehta, see Special:diff/1217327560 and Special:diff/1219741524. Both edited Pilibhit Tiger Reserve extensively, reinserting what seems to be copyvios. ARandomName123 ( talk)Ping me! 00:06, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I've blocked the socks. As for the editor's main, this editor has been around since 2008. The user talk suggests the editor might not know what is going on. So I will try and explain the situation one last time and see if the editor is willing to go through the formal process. - Mailer Diablo 20:57, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

and an admin has indef blocked the master. I think at this point it is clear the editor has exhausted their last chance. No sleepers found for now. - Mailer Diablo 11:27, 27 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Four accounts created within an hour, each of which has made a similar series of just over 10 trivial edits to their talk page as an obvious attempt to gain autoconfirmed status. Request checkuser to confirm these are the same person and to see if it's the tip of an iceberg.  — Small jim  10:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I reported too quickly - further investigation has identified more accounts created earlier than the above:

Another one just started.

It's become quite obvious so I've just blocked the lot per the duck test. Still request CU to see if there are others or if this is related to a known case.  — Small jim  11:24, 6 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Three more that continued the same pattern, all blocked:

Seems to have stopped for now.  — Small jim  15:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC) reply
