User's edits are almost exclusively to the master's topic of interest. The account is new after the last sock was blocked. There is also a 'combative' attitude that is similar. Sportsfan 1234 ( talk) 00:39, 19 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Using the latest sock blocked, (Cskamoscow100) both accounts edited Russian Olympic related articles [1], [2] vs [3]. Sportsfan 1234 ( talk) 14:34, 19 January 2018 (UTC) reply

  •  Additional information needed - @ Sportsfan 1234: In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 08:09, 19 January 2018 (UTC) reply

I'm assuming that Max Arosev is the sockmaster since one of the edits of Typerion is identical to Navratiti ( talk · contribs) who was marked as Max Arosev's sock - [4] [5].

Most of the edits of Typerion however are similar or identical to Editor45671 who has already been blocked for being a sock, see the following pairs of edits -

[6] [7]

[8] [9]

[10] [11]

[12] [13]

[14] [15]

I assume that Editor45671 is one of the sock of Max Arosev, but I would apologize if he is not. If that is the case, then obviously then Typerion would be a sock of Editor45671. Hzh ( talk) 02:00, 3 July 2019 (UTC) reply

information Administrator note @ Bbb23: I see that you had checkuser blocked Editor45671 on July 2. Given that Typerion was created on June 30, is it safe to assume there was not enough technical evidence to link Typerion to Max Arosev?— Bagumba ( talk) 08:10, 3 July 2019 (UTC) reply

Likely just missed him as this fellow IP hops so wouldn't have necessarily come up automatically as a match to anyone. Looking at their edits. I think it is definitely them. I have blocked them per WP:DUCK but welcome a CU from Bbb23. - DJSasso ( talk) 12:38, 3 July 2019 (UTC) reply
Typerion is  Confirmed; I've modified the tag. Djsasso's assumption about my check is roughly correct. More than that I'd prefer not to say. Closing.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:09, 3 July 2019 (UTC) reply

The users display several similarities with Max Arosev's past socks, including removal of the word amateur from Russian amateur boxing pages ( [16] vs [17]), restoration of a photo added by previous sock User:Gumswick55 ( [18]) and a focus on doping and stripped sports medals regarding Russia/Soviet Union ( [19] vs. [20]) and the full removal of paragraphs on Olympic event results articles with no commentary ( [21] vs [22] vs. [23]). Meets Wikipedia:The duck test. May be worth flushing out other users with that IP. SFB 13:17, 12 April 2020 (UTC) reply

IP editor has made the same edits that other IP addresses (determined to be socks of User:Max Arosev) made to multiple articles in the recent past - Basketball at the 1988 Summer Olympics, 1988 United States men's Olympic basketball team, Basketball at the 1988 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament. Previous IPs were blocked for block evasion - see block log here. Additionally, after I reverted the edits and put a warning on the IPs talk page, he made this revert to a page I had recently edited, pretty clear he was just retaliating.
