 * 1) First of all, the sockmaster creates a new account with a nonsensical, all-lowercase username.
 * 2) Most important clue: About one minute later, each account creates a sandbox article containing less than 20 bytes of content-free text (e.g. "James", "New Article", "Leap", or "hplink").
 * 3) Next, the sockmaster waits two to four weeks for the account to, uh, "improve with age".
 * 4) Now, each account writes a spammy article about a for-profit business. They usually don't use edit summaries. This takes multiple edits and at least a couple of days.
 * 5) * Interestingly, almost all of the references follow the same format: an article title, a publisher, and an access date. The publisher is always always just a website hostname (without the "www"), such as "foxbusiness.com" or "i-newswire.com" or "todaysleadingwomen.com".
 * 6) The accounts then move the article into mainspace.
 * 7) Second-most-important clue: The sockmaster then marks the article as reviewed. See his log.
