  • Given the history of additional accounts found in the archive, I ran a check.  Confirmed, no sleepers. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:12, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The account was created two days after their previous sock Doug McMaster (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki) uploaded File:Suparatana Bencharongkul (Public).jpg and their first edit was to use the same image at Suparatana Bencharongkul.

Group 1, confirmed to each other:

Group 2 appears technically unrelated to group 1. It's a bit of a rabbit hole, but using a number of heuristics I would say these are confirmed to each other:

Note the other SPIs at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MNB9911 and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Hamza3132.

In terms of geolocation, Group 1 and Timlaieditor probably don't belong together, but I probably wouldn't pay too much attention to that. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:29, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Group 1:

Group 2:

There are two groups here. Group 1 has similar behavior (sneaking spam in as "refs" in articles) to known Timlaieditor socks Worrieredits, MNALHR, and Havechin, and they're trying to sneak in a bunch of the same domains. Group 2 has tried to spam two of those domains as well, but in a different way (as their "website" in an infobox on their userpage, looks more like a spambot). I've blocked all of these accounts as promo-only, Group 1 is a slam dunk behaviorally, but requesting CU for a sleeper check since we've had a fair amount of success using that against this particular sock ring. I'm also curious whether Group 2 is the same sock ring or a different one. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:46, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
