Already CU-confirmed and blocked. There are also enormous amounts of logged-out editing. Both accounts are very interested in Gregg Phillips. But! RoySmith, I would like for you to check also--look for "280". There is a link here with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PaullyMatthews/Archive, which in turn is linked to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ZemenfesKidus, and it's getting a bit too complicated for me, haha.

- Taking a look now. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:35, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Drmies, @RoySmith Took me a minute to remember why I had this watchlisted and recall the details. This user, and the IPs associated with them, have been disruptively editing for years. I found evidence of numerous IP blocks going back to at least 2017-2018 all focused around disruptive editing of films. There's significant likelihood of meatpuppetry, but as I said in the previous SPI when I blocked, that's no less disruptive if it is. They appear to identify as some sort of film club and speak in plural pronouns. -- ferret (talk) 17:50, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- PaulyMatthews is all about Ethiopian and East African military history. That seems unrelated to Makofakeoh and/or ZemenfesKidus. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- RoySmith, ZemenfesKidus and PaulyMatthews and BeteAmora are the same, aren't they? I didn't ping you necessarily because of this account, but because I saw them on the same ranges, and I didn't know if you had CUed BeteAmora or not. Drmies (talk) 20:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

- Ugh, this is a bit of a mess. At one level, I'm reasonably certain Makofakeoh and ZemenfesKidus are the same, and that they're unrelated to PaullyMatthews. But then I slice and dice the data a different way and I'm no longer sure. I've left some notes under cuwiki:Wikipedia/en/ZemenfesKidus. I'll come back and take another look later. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:55, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
