Three reverts by Wladekimperialny: [1], [2], [3]. Then, the same revert on that same article by a previously uninvolved account Querty1231 [4].

Wladekimperialny removes link to merge discussion once: [5]. Once I readded it to the article, Querty1231 removes that same link the same day [6].

Lubushan.pole and Totalnykozak suddenly started editing the same Polish-Lithuanian Ethnic Conflict article on May 7. All of their edits are here [7] and here [8], respectively. I suspect that all four are connected because they all edited at different times and all edited the same article Polish-Lithuanian Ethnic Conflict (created on May 5) the past several days. Also, the user pages of User:Wladekimperialny, User:Totalnykozak, and User:Lubushan.pole are all linking to the Polish-Lithuanian ethnic conflict. +JMJ+ (talk) 20:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Im not a sockpuppet of any of these accounts, in fact i reverted edits from Wladek here:[9] and here:[10]. the situation with Querty is exactly the same here:[11] and with Lubushan here: [12][13]. Second reason is that looking at these users edits it looks like English is not their first language. Take example spelling the word "Aftermath" and misspelling it with "Aftermatch".

Anyone can click on my profile like Olek novy and edit my article but this fact has been omitted, also lubushan could see me from my edits on other articles and click on the profile so any accusation against someone without strong evidence and omitting such details is stupid.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

CheckUser requested - I've added Olek Novy to the suspect list, an older account. Userpage is similar and page intersection is very large. I've requested CU to confirm and look for others. I'll note in passing that Totalnykozak says on their userpage that they are the "phone account" of Lubushan.pole. Bbb23 (talk) 13:13, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bbb23 - results as follows:
- Wladekimperialny and Querty1231 are Confirmed to one another. Olek Novy has edited from the same range as the previous two, so it's obviously Possible, but I wouldn't say anything stronger than that about them.
- Lubushan.pole and Totalnykozak are Confirmed to one another, and are Possible to the above group in terms of similar geolocations.
I've got to dash - can I ask you to consider appropriate steps? Girth Summit _(blether) 09:19, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked and tagged Wladekimperialny and Querty1231. Bbb23 (talk) 15:19, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that was the easy part. I'm not prepared to block Olek Novy based only on geolocation and behavior - to many behavioral dissimilarities, and it makes sense that the geolocation would be the same (I'm assuming it's Poland; otherwise, I would be wrong). As to the other two accounts, they are somewhat poorly-declared alternative accounts, so it makes sense that they would be confirmed, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the claim that Totalnykozk is a "phone account" based on tags. Girth Summit, when you're back from your dash, could you let me know whether Total is editing only from a phone? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted - GirthSummit appears to have been away for a while now. Can another CU answer Bbb23's question, and maybe ping him since it's been a while? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 12:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
