These 3 editors have the same editing patterns as User:Ringardiumleviossa, User:Sewnbegun and User:Teedbunny - three editors blocked for sockpuppetry and linked to User:Nekivik.

• The account of Vinbrad, Relyone and Crampsteed were only created this year.
• Similar to those blocked editors, Vinbrad, Relyone and Crampsteed have edited List of X-Men members - that article was article protected twice this year, due to persistent sockpuppetry.
• User:Nekivik created the article Immortal X-Men[1]

which have significant edits from Vinbrad[2] and Crampsteed[3]. The article also had edits from the blocked Teedbunny.

• Both Vinbrad and Crampsteed have edited the same articles such as Omega-level mutants, List of X-Force members, Template:X-Men, X-Men: From the Ashes, Trinary (comics), List of Avengers members and List of Fantastic Four members. This is oddly similar since Vinbrad has less than 200 edits (as of today) and Crampsteed has 320 edits (as of today).
• Crampsteed edited the sandbox page of Relyone, which I found highly suspicious.[4] When I asked Crampsteed about it in their talk page[5] - it didn't take long for Relyone to blank their sandbox.[6] Blanking the sandbox reminded me of Ringardiumleviossa blanking their sandbox [7].
• Another similarity, both Teedbunny and Relyone are from India - based from their userpage.[8][9]
• The edit summaries of Crampsteed and Vinbrad, also don't look like they were written by someone who just joined Wikipedia, in my opinion. Hotwiki (talk) 09:54, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
