{{sock list|1=Master Raju|2=John Outs|3=Oak Life|tools_link=yes}}

Found these spammers in the patrol logs of blocked sockpuppet {{noping|DMySon}}. All of them are the same. The headline account is stale but the three others are recent - which means they've been at this for quite a while and there are likely more. MER-C 18:25, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

• @{{u|Oshwah}}, I think something went awry with the tagging—did you mean to replace {{noping|DMySon}}'s tag from the GermanKity case? Apologies if I've misunderstood something. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
• :Extraordinary Writ - Uhh nope... That's weird. I wonder if this might be a bug with the SPI tool. {{Fixed}} - Thanks for letting me know. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

• {{Endorse}} - obvious behavioural similarities between these accounts - please check for others. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:45, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
• {{Inprogress}}... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
• They geolocate to the same country and area, but are all using different (extremely wide) IP ranges. I did poke through each range, and I didn't see any other accounts exhibiting the same pattern of editing, so {{Nosleepers}}. I'll block and tag as obvious socks are obvious, and I'll close this SPI report. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:14, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
