Background

See COIN thread and Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-10-07/Op-ed.

General behavior

Until 2021, these accounts focused on adding positive coverage about Kazakhstan economy, Kazakhstan's role in Expo 2017, etc. They also focused in negative coverage of Mukhtar Ablyazov and the Open Dialogue Foundation. See overlap for more.

Most of them share some edit summary style, timecard and tend to edit in streaks, where multiple accounts in the sockfarm edit one after another in sequence over the span of a few hours.

Many accounts stopped editing around the same time (7-10 December 2020) and some came back after April 2021:

  • Yuliamixta
  • Mahindraforfun
  • Sharpie448
  • Olzhas12
  • Tevincoleman26
  • TerryClarke
  • BrownieJJ
  • Nestor 8998
  • NielsenR9

In their come back, the following accounts went about added wiki link to stuff (or similar):

  • Yuliamixta
  • TerryClarke
  • Mahindraforfun
  • Nestor 8998

And the following came back to edit Margulan B. Baimukhan:

  • Sharpie448
  • BrownieJJ

@MarioGom: Please organize the list of suspected puppets into two groups, the first non-stale, and the second stale.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:32, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's enough here to warrant a CU, and it would be difficult to do this purely on behavior. Please check the master against the non-stale accounts.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:55, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk assistance requested: Can a clerk please tag the confirmed accounts and close?--Bbb23 (talk) 05:42, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Tagged, closing. Please re-report if any of the old accounts wake up again. --Blablubbs (talk) 09:51, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
