User Sliverug is a new account who has made few or no other edits outside the topic Angelique Rockas, and her Internationalist Theatre; see her/his [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sliverug global contributions]. In both English-language WP and Greek-language WP user Sliverug follows the same behavioral pattern with [https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?user=Kyrilo36 user Kyrilo36], a confirmed puppet of Amfithea, revealed after [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&oldid=791838036#User:Kyrilo36_reported_by_User:Chalk19_.28Result:_Sock_blocked.29 I filed this case of editiwar] last July. User Sliverug's contributions to the articles [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angelique_Rockas&action=history Angelique Rockas], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Internationalist_Theatre&action=history Internationalist Theatre], and [https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%CE%91%CE%BD%CE%B6%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%BA_%CE%A1%CF%8C%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%82&action=history Ανζελίκ Ρόκας] of Greek-language WP as well, have been focusing constantly on removing Original Research and COI tags from all three articles, thus fueling an edit war exactly the same way like the then new user Kyrilo36 (so far the last confirmed puppet created by user Amfithea) did.

But there is more evidence: [https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?user=82.1.219.198 IP 82.1.219.198]. When Kyrilo36 was vandalising the Greek article on Rockas, she/he once forgot to sign in, and, when she/he made [https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%CE%A3%CF%85%CE%B6%CE%AE%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%83%CE%B7_%CF%87%CF%81%CE%AE%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B7:Kyrilo36&diff=prev&oldid=6566843 this comment] in Greek-language WP, her/his IP (82.1.219.198) was revealed, as hard evidence -judging from the IP's global contributions, and [https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:Amfithea/Angelique_Rockas&diff=prev&oldid=166542948 esp. this] in German-language WP- that behind Kyrilo36 was Amfithea. A similar mistake that exposed her/himself had been repeated by user Sliverug in Greek-language WP. First, Sliverug [https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%CE%91%CE%BD%CE%B6%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%BA_%CE%A1%CF%8C%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%82&type=revision&diff=6632330&oldid=6632325 removed] the tags from the Greek article on Rockas. Then, CubicStar (sysop @ Greek-language WP) [https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%CE%91%CE%BD%CE%B6%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%BA_%CE%A1%CF%8C%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%82&type=revision&diff=6632407&oldid=6632330 had the tags put back in place], summarising that there is no reason to have them removed. After that, [https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%CE%91%CE%BD%CE%B6%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%BA_%CE%A1%CF%8C%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%82&type=revision&diff=6632432&oldid=6632407 Sliverug reacted by emptying the article] (commenting: deletion), but by mistake she/he left out the two tags on top; the [https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%CE%91%CE%BD%CE%B6%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%BA_%CE%A1%CF%8C%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%82&type=revision&diff=6632441&oldid=6632432 very next minute appeared IP 82.1.219.198] out of the blue to "do the job" that Sliverug had left unfinished: deleting the tags on top (commenting: deletion, dealing with fools)!

I have blocked Chlorissima one week for edit warring on the COI tags at Angelique Rockas. The edit summaries and talk comments are very reminiscent of the Amfithea socks blocked previously. User:Chalk19 who filed the AN3 gave a good summary of the background in his complaint there. He has also been following the related dispute on the Greek Wikipedia. User:Ajraddatz, a global sysop, has commented earlier in this SPI due to the cross-wiki abuse. All the socks want uploaded scans of primary paper documents to be admitted to the record to support the notability of Angelique Rockas. If the stream of new socks or meats continues it might justify a period of full or EC protection for Angelique Rockas and Internationalist Theatre, but that step is not needed just yet. If a checkuser were run, it might justify an indef block for Chlorissima. EdJohnston (talk) 15:05, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Additional evidence.

The way (the typing/writing) User:Chlorissima replied (see User talk:Chlorissima) after I wrote on her/his talk page a "Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion" is very similar to the way [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Angeliquerock User:Angeliquerock] writes in her (?) [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Angeliquerock talk page] at Commons, esp. the multiple signing; example:

This is the "new recruit" in Rockas Army of Sockes (for its history see: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Amfithea/Archive). Since the main targets of the Army of Sockes, articles Angelique Rockas and Internationalist Theatre, have been locked for users until August 3rd by Berean Hunter because of "Persistent sockpuppetry" [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angelique_Rockas&type=revision&diff=848669938&oldid=848669826] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Internationalist_Theatre&type=revision&diff=848669719&oldid=848669470], the new sockpuppet has focused on two other articles of "Rockas interest": Griselda Gambaro, and The Camp (1967 play). With these contributions [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Griselda_Gambaro&type=revision&diff=850879343&oldid=85087797o] user Xanu36 restored a highly promotional section in the Gambaro article about Rockas. About its reason in this article, as a duplicate of the same section in The Camp article (instead of a shorter piece on Rockas' production) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Griselda_Gambaro&type=revision&diff=849910671&oldid=849889137], there was a discussion between myself and another user in the article's talk page. ——Chalk19 (talk) 00:46, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

PS. Also the same pattern with the rest of the Army of Socks while writing to talk pages with lines of dashes, chaotic structure, and peculiar ways of signing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AGriselda_Gambaro&type=revision&diff=850879942&oldid=850071954]. ——Chalk19 (talk) 01:02, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

• {{clerknote}} Volut is an obvious SPA, blocked and tagged. The IPs are amazing. Looks like these are both long-term static addresses dedicated to this sort of abuse. 82.1.219.198 [https://whois-referral.toolforge.org/gateway.py?lookup=true&ip=82.1.219.198 is apparently part of] 82.1.219.0/24 allocated to "WESTMINSTER-CITY-COUNCIL". 195.191.67.225 also appears to be long-term static, and clearly operated by a savvy user, since their earliest edits are notes to various functionaries complaining about arbcom matters. They both geolocate to London (as do all of the other IPs in the archives). Blocked both for a year. My usual rule on static IPs is to block them for as long as they've been a problem, but I can't bring myself to issue a 3-year block on an IP. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:27, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
