Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Tartarian LTA vandal. Trade (talk) 21:45, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

@Jasper Deng: I believe the first account I blocked was Maitsavend followed by User:Racaciun, User:Krolik w sauce, User: Arnepost, User:Assegut, User:Maglef, User:Samaierti, and possibly a couple of more which I can not find right now. The vandal has a very distinct modus of operandi: They use semi-automatic tools and manage to add in a very short time hundred descriptions which they claim are in Tatar but which are not (which can be easily checked for the items which have Tatar sitelinks, the desctriptions are different from the sitelinks). These edits are difficult to revert without a bot. I was told that the vandal has been blocked on tt.wp and ru.wp, may be can find a way to range-block them, because the scale of vandalism is enormous, and I do not think anybody is systematically reverting this vandalism.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Results: @Ymblanter: Who is the original sockpuppeteer?--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:32, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the evidence @Ymblanter:. These accounts are part of a sockfarm of 160 socks, all of which are technically indistinguishable and for practical purposes are Confirmed to be each other (the above two accounts are not listed but count towards the total of 160):
