I rather suspect that these socks are the work of User:Monarawila - see SPI. Other than the proliferation of socks and editing related articles, note the similar sock account names - Kolombo Eagle and Ceylon Eagle (Monarawila socks) and Colombo Eagle (Hertz18B8 sock).--Obi2canibe (talk) 21:13, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Obi2canibe, I'll look at this hopefully tomorrow. Meanwhile, I've put the case on hold.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:04, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Obi2canibe is absolutely correct (good catch). All the socks in this report are  Confirmed to the socks in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Monarawila. Please merge this report into that case. I've already retagged the socks listed here.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:32, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm surprised you were able to link the accounts after all this time.--Obi2canibe (talk) 20:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
