Same edit history - including odd page restoration that got the last puppet blocked vs HereIAmNow1379 last meatpuppet edit.... This includes suspected copyrighted material that all three accounts have been warned about[1]

User:Fedjmike i suspect is the brother again as per back to back edits on the one page (this about Fedjmike is simply guess work based on past brotherly edit pattern where one gets upset with the others edits) see User talk:HereIAmNow1379#February 2024 for background info (they should be on same device and/or IP} @Bbb23: last blocking admin.Moxy🍁 23:40, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Not a sock, and was a bit annoyed at the somewhat underhanded Farnaj57 edits myself. Only stumbled here by chance after Drmies restored some of my edits that Farnaj57 removed. Happy to help prove my ID in some way if that's necessary. Was there something about my changes that was suspicious or incorrect? Thanks. Fedjmike (talk) 01:18, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no evidence about your account.. you do not have to prove or disclose anything. Purely guess work on my part from past behavior of the above accounts..... Brothers had an odd habit of reverting each other sometimes within a minute as seen here Moxy🍁 01:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I cannot verify this is one of the known socks. What I can say is that the user is close to User:ArmanOh and User:Saeed.1348, who are identical and whom I've blocked, but not close enough for me to just slap a CU match block on Farnaj57; that will have to be based on behavior.

I think this is one of the problems we have with being so old... as in how long Wikipedia's been around. Whenever quite sure who the master account is... as in they get caught doing other things so they may have multiple masters accounts and they may have a new device or new internet provider etc. Just suspicious they know all the formatting rules for images and sources etc the second they start. (That happens to be the concerns raised about their last accounts) Perhaps I'll be more diligent here and do more of an investigation..... These things are just a Time sink.

Behavioral evidence shows convincing evidence of sockpuppetry. Aside from the significant overlap, there's also the copyright/attribution problems and near-identical edit summaries. Blocked and tagged. Closing. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 01:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
