Editor interaction analyzer shows the first two (JJ and CD) often appear together on obscure topics related to Wales; both use a similar syntax in their edit summaries (spelling of UK, the first letter always capitalized, and use of CAPITALIZATIONs), per here: (Cell Danwydd, and John Jones), and over-use of bolding in their Talk page commentaries per Talk:Welsh fiscal deficit. Possible that they are meat puppets, and are in contact off-wiki (as they tag-team on diverse Welsh topics, per the Editor interaction analyzer).

I added TLaG as they appeared as a new user making a properly executed support !vote on their first Wikipedia edit on Talk:Welsh fiscal deficit here; even used the common Wikipedia syntax of strong support. Possible meat puppet (there are several now on that Talk Page, !voting for POV edits), but I suspect that some are straight sock puppets. Britishfinance (talk) 12:14, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is nonsense. These two users edit regularly on the Welsh language Wikipedia. If their syntax is similar it's probably because one of them taught the other to edit. Deb (talk) 12:51, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note to clerk: Please consider whether this is a tit-for-tat report in response to this. It would appear from that debate that any meatpuppetry is far from one-sided. Deb (talk) 13:28, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Clerk note: Case moved to oldest account. Note the extensive xwiki contributions – I haven't looked at the evidence, but if there is socking going on, action may also be needed elsewhere. Blablubbs|talk 14:58, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
