 |reason          = Combining two cases into one. The first, third and fourth account listed belong to the case "Vitsuha" while the fourth and fifth account belongs to the case "離心力青蛙." The second account is from previous SPI case for 離心力青蛙, which was ducked, and is presented for comparison. 
Before I start the reasoning, I must say that it's quite fascinating that two users can come to different conclusions about if Ggplot2222 is a sock of Vitsuha or 離心力青蛙. For the side that Ggplot2222 is a sock of Vitsuha, the claim was "posting Vitsuha's created articles for speedy deletion," which accounts for most of Ggplot2222's contributions; on the other hand, another user argued that those requests for speedy delete matches with the behavior of 離心力青蛙 listed on the community's LTA page; the creation of such LTA page is aimed to ease editors for spotting potential 離心力青蛙 socks. The fifth account, in my opinion, resembles a strong correlation with 離心力青蛙's editing behavior, but I would side with Ggplot2222 is Vitsuha's sock at this moment. Please also check for sleepers as local admins have expressed their concerns about other accounts (like Gatheoryme, which I later added to the SPI case "Vitsuha") not spotted via communication platforms (Telegram).

All of them have started and finished contributing during time periods that ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη was blocked in the last two and a half months and all are related to typical contributions of that user, in several cases in articles where she has contributed in the past.

She doesnt care about privacy but she ''really wants to avoid this checkuser'' because then the elwiki Administrators would have enough evidence to utilize a permablock on the wiki.Apart however from the evidence which {{u|NikosLikomitros}} provided, in the meantime she has been evading her 3-month long block by utilizing ip adresses such as 193.92.154.130 (same writing style, same hours which she usually contributes, same offensive tone). Finally, in the evidence provided by Nikos, she claimed that Erevnitis Alitheias and NikosLikomitros, are the elwiki admins lapdogs (translation of the greek word " τσιράκι").

 |reason          = Local sysop [[User:Xiplus|Xiplus]] reported that the user MJJHR sent an appeal email to the zhwiki unblock mailing list and provided with an blocked interface that does not look like autoblock. While the naming of the users are similar, they don't show similar editing patterns, so it was hard to determine if the two users were in fact related or the latter was simply affected by a software bug that led to showing that the latter user was affected by the former user's block. I am not sure if this is fully applicable for CheckUser, but I'll leave it here for stewards to determine. Thanks!

 |reason          = The two accounts appear to be working together with the IPs across HiWiki and another Wiki in order to prop up [[:w:hi:गौरव माहौर]], an article about a 19 year-old, as well as several other articles. The master account (Mahour gaurav singh ji) made its first edits on HiWiki in February over the span of two days and then went inactive for a month. The sock account (Roshan kumar555) made its first edits on HiWiki on 18 March, and then re-activated at about the same time as the master.<br/>The master and sock re-activated to deal primarily with two articles: [[:w:hi:विक्कु राजावत]] and [[:w:hi:गौरव माहौर]]. The two accounts have both made edits to the nascent articles in succession of one another, despite the fact that both are extremely new accounts, and the IPs have been used in conjunction with the new accounts to remove deletion requests improperly (see: [https://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5_%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0&diff=prev&oldid=5796804 the sock being used] to remove a deletion notice from the IP-created article, the [https://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5_%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0&diff=5799844&oldid=5799630 master] claiming that the government of India is running the page in breaking a template, and the second IP and [https://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5_%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0&diff=5800225&oldid=5800203 on the same range] swinging by to remove the restored deletion notice).  The sock has [https://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE:%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5_%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B0&oldid=5799604 even claimed] that one of their pages is being operated by the government of India, and we should not delete it because the Indian government is controlling the page. The IPs are related inasmuch as they match the same pattern of editing; they appear to be related to this effort somehow. I am requesting checkuser to confirm a connection between the two accounts from a technical perspective, noting the IPs only for completeness sake. I expect fully that there will be sleepers, and I am concerned based upon both the master's and the sock's stated claims that the page is being run by a government entity, as this would impair Wikipedia's independence as a publication.  — <span style="background: linear-gradient(#990000,#660000)">[[User:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: white">Red-tailed&nbsp;hawk</span>]]&nbsp;<sub>[[User talk:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: white">(nest)</span>]]</sub></span> 22:21, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
