I feel like I've seen it somewhere.. Yes, if you're wondering who they are, you can check this account's CA right now. --Sotiale (talk) 12:36, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Template:CU request Template:Quote From a technical point of view. The behavioral patterns feel very similar, but they are distinct users, at least technically. There may be a possibility of co-editing. --Sotiale (talk) 13:44, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Gorbarond@rue.wikipedia

Hi, WikiBayer. Revealing the relationship between IP and account is strictly prohibited. Basically it can investigate the relationship between accounts and declare the results, so I'm afraid I won't be able to proceed with this investigation unless there are other suspected accounts. --Sotiale (talk) 08:25, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

You've already blocked them, is there any reason to investigate? --Sotiale (talk) 10:30, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@Sotiale It is to see if this is a major abuse of a single user, or of multiple users. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 10:39, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

User:YVSREDDY@te.wikipedia

Unfortunately, the above two accounts(REDDY GARI VYASALU and రెడ్డి గారి వ్యాసాలు) are too old to investigate from their last activity. And I couldn't find any other evidence that YVSREDDY is socking now. --Sotiale (talk) 07:20, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Template:Not done. One is the usual spambot pattern, the other is passive spam or appears to be a self promotion. If an action is required, it can be requested locally, or spambot can request a lock from SRG. --Sotiale (talk) 12:08, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Ləmann Quliyevaa@az.wikipedia

Based on your recent request, it seems very likely that this investigation will yield similar results. Also, since Ləmann Quliyevaa has already been investigated, I don't think this will make much sense. Nonetheless, can you provide a reason why this investigation should be conducted? If it makes sense, the investigation may proceed, but if not, processing of this request does not seem appropriate. --Sotiale (talk) 13:30, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Activities on such accounts have increased over the past month. Most of accounts are registered 1 year ago, in recent days new accounts are registered and have the same user page, similar activity. you can check their activity, most of edits got rolbacked but they continue. (just check last edits on azwiki) dont got any answer in their discussion page. I think that account will be used for "voice hunting". there is also a very small chance that is "revenge" from blocked user. Bikar Orxan (talk) 15:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Look, all users have same user page, at least close register date and edits just for count. Not suspicious? Bikar Orxan (talk) 16:10, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I mean, you can explain it to your local with whatever you find. As you saw in the previous request, since they are technically distinct, this checkuser tool is not enough to prove that they are the same user. It tells you if they are the same user based on the data they leave behind, it is not the tool to analyze their behavior pattern. So, if there is enough behavioral analysis and they match, it's more appropriate to ask local to block. The information that they don't match just confuses the admin. --Sotiale (talk) 13:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

The first version was that they were in a training, but checkuser could not determine that they belonged to the same İP. 2 account got used in voting after claiming 500 edit count. Admin still not sure about blocking. Bikar Orxan (talk) 14:06, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

May I ask what you mean by "The first version was that they were in a training"? I think I don't fully understand what you described. --Sotiale (talk) 11:39, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

At first we taught they was from education center, something like SMM training. All users got banned but, there are some new accounts with same activity. Bikar Orxan (talk) 13:21, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't quite understand what you are talking about. I think other steward colleagues probably do the same. Could you elaborate and explain the reason again from the beginning? Please explain again from the beginning, thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 12:09, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

We cannot disclose the results of the relationship between IPs or between accounts and IPs according to the privacy related policy. And the 3 IPs you suggested are in the same ranges no matter who sees them, so the admin will be able to decide if necessary. --Sotiale (talk) 09:04, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Template:Ping Dear fellow WD checkusers, they have some activity on wikidatawiki as well. You may want to investigate these if your time permits. --Sotiale (talk) 10:16, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, @Sotiale. Just a question, because I don't often make requests here: was anything done to prevent it going forward? For example, blocking the IP addresses? Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 11:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

In general, such measures are executed when possible, but in this case, there are few possible measures because the IP ranges are distributed. They will abuse by using other IP ranges that are not easily predictable. --Sotiale (talk) 11:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
