Suspected sockpuppets

Several users creating and cross-editing several pages in relation to Avia Solutions Group (ASG) or its chairman Gediminas Žiemelis. Edits seem to have indications of COI editing and a similar promotional tone and editing patterns (rare edit summaries, often large additions, the initial version of a page often is immediately quite long with several references, often with infoboxes, a section called "Links" and superfluous vertical space). I don't think they've edited any talk pages, despite receiving messages on user talk.

Stugys (contribs) created the original page for Gediminas Žiemelis and BAA Training (part of ASG); large edits to AviaAM Leasing.

Jklmnopr (contribs) made large edits to Gediminas Žiemelis, Avia Solutions Group, FL Technics (part of ASG); was reverted for adding copyvio content

213.197.169.174 (contribs) made large edits to Avia Solutions Group, FL Technics, Baltic Aviation Academy (part of ASG), AviaAM Leasing, ŽIA valda (investment company related to ASG and Gediminas Žiemelis)‎ and also tried to add copyvio content to the same article

Zidonisvidmantas (contribs) this one is somewhat different. Submitted Draft:Skycop.com (from Gediminas Žiemelis "In 2017, Gediminas Ziemelis actively participated in the creation of an international flight claim management platform www.skycop.com")

There are also stale accounts sharing the same patterns: MonMic (contribs) created Draft:KlasJet, part of ASG; MilesToCover (contribs) created Baltic Aviation Academy and Baltic Ground Services, parts of ASG; Vaidas.mileikis (contribs) created FL Technics and made significant edits to Baltic Ground Services -- intgr [talk] 17:11, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Check declined by a checkuser Stugys is stale, and that's a very tenuous connection between the other two registered accounts, definitely not enough to run CU. As to the IP, we do not publicly link IPs to registered accounts. Katietalk 00:41, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: Not nearly enough evidence to support a sock finding here. Further, most of the edits are stale. Closing without taking any action. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:57, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
