Both accounts created after block. Both make first edits adding endorsements, one to 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, the other to 2022 United States Senate election in Wisconsin. Then take some time before editing Alex Lasry. Osko rewriting PR debt section to negative POV. Madison less subtle, attempting to re-add content that Geeky previously added and was reverted Special:Diff/1093447600. Slywriter ( talk) 02:46, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply

• Was about to report myself. Pretty obvious. I Suggest protecting Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Lasry (2nd nomination) to keep socks out of the deletion discussion. Pikavoom ^Talk 07:58, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply

•  In progress - Girth Summit _(blether) 12:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply
• OK, so Madisonsocdem is  Confirmed to Fightagainstdarkmoney, as well as to a bunch of other Geeky socks, as is the following account not listed above:
  • Raccinedemsocs ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Oskoshdemsoc is operating out of a different IP range, but it belongs to the same educational institution as those used by the other socks - it could be a case of WP:MEAT, or it might simply be the same person editing in a different building from usual; I'm going to block as suspected.
• Lordbuckinghambadger is on another IP range once again, but is  Confirmed to M4aorbust1, another sock from this case. Will block etc. Girth Summit _(blether) 12:34, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Thought unrelated as they were focused on opponent but have now shifted to same article. Slywriter ( talk) 03:43, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Now also restoring content from socks Special:Diff/1093844775 and 4 others. Slywriter ( talk) 04:54, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Special:Diff/1094089604 - Quacking, restoring edits of sock and name are pretty clear clue. Slywriter ( talk) 18:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Just noting they have been blocked as a sockpuppet by evergreenfir, so this should be closed Slywriter ( talk) 03:06, 22 June 2022 (UTC) reply
