Suspected sockpuppets

Both users edit articles pertaining to North African military history, make very similar edits grammar-wise and always edit at different times. Both editors create military history stubs such as Capture of Mila (901) and Zirid raid on Gabès, and both made their first edits on Fatimid conquest of Ifriqiya.[1][2] Moreover, I've just noticed that Berber.Enjoyer2 updated ⵟⵓⵔⴽⵉⵙⵀⴽⴰⴱⵢⵍ's user page with new content, which seems rather suspicious.

@Bbb23: I would like to bring your attention to Zedrislol (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) and Zedwow (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). ⵟⵓⵔⴽⵉⵙⵀⴽⴰⴱⵢⵍ made these sockpuppet accounts to evade their block, but these new accounts have been blocked now. Skitash (talk) 16:43, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ferret, coming from frwiki, after a message left the French Wikimedia community Discord server. The user doesn't understand the blockage, but we've tried to explain it to them and the possible solutions to adopt if they were really innocent (potentially an infected terminal, or a shared domestic connection, etc.). The statement about “over 100 IP addresses” shared with multiple accounts leaves me wondering about the real intentions of the person concerned, but hey, I preferred to try and inform them by assuming good faith.

@Ferret: ⵟⵓⵔⴽⵉⵙⵀⴽⴰⴱⵢⵍ is claiming that they had a discussion with me on discord (a platform that I don't use). I suspect that this is another stunt of Bahironga (an disruptive editor who keeps impersonating me). M.Bitton (talk) 13:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton Hi there. For what it is worth, the WP:Discord Moderators had already concluded that this sock was attempting to Joejob you. -- ferret (talk) 14:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ferret: thanks for letting me know. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 16:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• In addition to the evidence presented, both accounts say that their name is Aylan on their userpages. Blocked and tagged. Leaving the CU request in case someone wants to look for other accounts. Bbb23 (talk) 14:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• HJ Mitchell, you blocked the two accounts added above as socks without identifying the master. Can you please do so, if for no other reason to determine whether their page creations are G5able? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Bbb23 seeing as you said please, I ran a CU just to be sure. All three are  Technically indistinguishable but the master seems to have access to over 100 IP addresses from all over the shop so I expect they'll be back. Mind if I leave you with the paperwork? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks, HJ Mitchell. I'm going to tag them as confirmed to Berber.Enjoyer2, but what about ⵟⵓⵔⴽⵉⵙⵀⴽⴰⴱⵢⵍ? They are currently tagged as suspected; are you confirming them as well, or should I leave them alone? --Bbb23 (talk) 22:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  ⵟⵓⵔⴽⵉⵙⵀⴽⴰⴱⵢⵍ, Zedwow, and Zedrislol are the indistinguishable three I mentioned above; I'd say it's safe to say they're  Confirmed to Berber.Enjoyer2. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:07, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Tagged/retagged and closing. Bbb23 (talk) 23:14, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Bbb23, this user came into Discord (and quickly earned a ban for complaining about CU block and all kinds of stuff), which caused me to start looking. Blocked and tagged admitted alt account User:Berber.Enjoyer. I don't believe anything about forgotten passwords here. -- ferret (talk) 02:52, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Bbb23 A new Discord account claiming to be the "second person" joined today. The account was created yesterday though. Also wanted to note prior case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TBATlol. -- ferret (talk) 01:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
