And all of these 10 edits were within barely some hours in the same day. Most of his edits are small edits adding or deleting a letter or a word, and many of them were reverting his own changes. Until he gained a decent amount of edits, he started to edit the same pages as the original Benniejets and his tonnes of clones did. Mostly focusing on List of European countries by average wage and adding some false data to them, then Italy and Economy of Italy amongst others, but most focusing on Italy.

I see also i'm not the only one suspecting him as a sockpuppet of Benniejets. https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:LittleOx&diff=823482613&oldid=823482414 --TechnicianGB (talk) 03:20, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This case is Stale. However, based on a check of LittleOx, the account is using the same or similar IPs to the master and his socks. In addition, LittleOx is already indefinitely blocked at it.wiki for socking and for edit-warring, and is also indefinitely blocked at es.wiki for edit-warring. The timing of LittleOx's creation, right after the last named sock was blocked, is telling. Finally, the behavioral analysis by the filer is persuasive. I've therefore blocked and tagged the account. Green Giant, based on the crosswiki abuse, please globally lock LittleOx.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Same geolocation as previous IP-socks (Perugia, Italy) and the same type of edits on the same and similar articles as previous socks. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 10:35, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Recently created account on the same set of pages with the same agenda as before and a pro-Italian tilt as the LTA. Bostongarden1942 (talk · contribs) was also active on Developed country. Adamgerber80 (talk) 01:09, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Same set of edits with Italian POV on the same set of pages where the LTA has been active in the recent past - Common Security and Defence Policy,Nuclear power in Italy,Mont Blanc de Courmayeur. This account was created recently after the sock was blocked a day ago. Adamgerber80 (talk) 13:40, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Same pro-Italian POV as the LTA. The account was recently created after the last sock was blocked and is depicting the same behavior on a similar set of articles. Adamgerber80 (talk) 20:17, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Similar edits on same set of pages as the LTA. Edits are with a pro-Italian tilt and the account was created recently. Can you also please sweep for sleepers. Adamgerber80 (talk) 16:33, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Brand new account whose only edits so far have been restoring material previously posted by blocked sock Special:Contributions/Kerkiraaa on Talk:Great power, file a bogus AIV-report against User:Adamgerber80, who has detected multiple previous Benniejets socks, and add more typical Benniejets stuff to the talk page, in the same broken English as Benniejets. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 11:20, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Repeating the same arguments as recent blocked socks on Talk:Great power (which fits in with Benniejet's endlessly repeated claims on multiple articles/pages that Italy is a "great power" with a nuclear capability...), in the same broken English as Benniejets and countless previous socks. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 11:11, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Brand new account doing nothing but claiming that Italy is a great power on Talk:Great power ([10], [11], [12], [13]), just like umpteen previous Benniejets socks, in the same broken English as Benniejets and umpteen previous socks. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 11:02, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The user engaged in an edit war over the specific types of B61 nuclear bombs deployed to Italy. The user's vandalism history is Italian-centric and commonly centres around Italian military affairs. The B61 nuclear bomb article is specifically listed as a target area in the long-term investigation page and he has engaged in edit wars over this topic in the past. https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974760539 https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974762982 https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974763891 https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=B61_nuclear_bomb&oldid=974769048

He also edited the nuclear sharing page regarding the previous B61 issue, another target area listed page. https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_sharing&oldid=972604385 https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_sharing&oldid=972611845

All of these edits are part of Benniejets' habitual behaviour as listed on his long-term investigation page. Kylesenior (talk) 08:06, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: There are a lot of fairly wide ranges in play here (with a lot of legit activity), so this is going to be whack-a-mole.
