Suspected sockpuppets

I'm guessing these too:

Accounts before Johnbeirne have already been blocked (including a possible checkuser on Matthewcarleton21). Johnbeirne edits are in similar areas to the blocked accounts: Ireland's County Leitrim (Cloone, Mohill), County Longford (Longford, Newtownforbes), Premier League, car models, Irish roads (N4), video games, animated series. Edits are often unsourced and may feature subtly disruptive changes (seemingly minor changes to populations, dates etc). E.g. Cloone population: Johnbeirne edit, Matthewcarleton11 edit. Or Drumsna population: Johnbeirne edit, Matthewcarleton19 edit. Or this edit to the Carleton surname article, the only such surname article edit. Declangi (talk) 02:49, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

  • I'm convinced. Editing interests and style are identical to the old accounts; the edit to the Carleton surname article is something of a giveaway. Blocking the unblocked accounts, tagging, closing. Girth Summit (blether) 12:06, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

This account has edited since 16 January 2022 (but was established in October 2020). The previous sockpuppet account, User:Johnbeirne, was blocked on 3 January 2022. "Awesome dawg 100" has edited four pages that were also edited by Johnbeirne: Mohill, Good Food, Lough Rynn Castle and Template:Opel timeline 1980 to present, a significant overlap out of eight pages edited to date. The edits to Mohill are a restoration of misleading material previously added by Johnbeirne. Declangi (talk) 04:39, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Just four edits so far: but all are very similar or identical to those of another sock, User:Awesome dawg 100. The two Mohill edits attempted addition of a Weather box for London (later self-reverted), a pattern of editing seen across many of the accounts previously investigated here.
