Suspected sockpuppets
Identical patterns of shoring up edit counts with a lot of low-effort edits before creating their intended targets: Mark McDowell (entrepreneur), Primal Digital Agency, and Primal Digital. यूनिकॉर्न चार्ज करना and Ants in text are already blocked by Graham87 on behavoural grounds. Kuru has also been monitoring the case. See previous discussion at User talk:Graham87. Paul_012 (talk) 04:21, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Upon closer look, ObtuksoHa's junk contributions seem to be of quite lower quality, commonly removing links and introducing style errors. Might be a meatpuppet instead, but should probably be checked anyway. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:26, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * And they often edit about Pakistan while the other accounts sometimes edit about India (and यूनिकॉर्न चार्ज करना is Hindi). I'm holding off tagging for now. Graham87 (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

I've blocked ObtuksoHa and deleted the Primal Digital page. I have to be out of here any minute now. Graham87 (talk) 04:54, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll be as descriptive as policy allows me to be here, for the benefit of and  who have been looking into this.  is using one or more VPN services, and edits from a wide range of IP ranges. Most, but not all, of their IPs geolocate to one particular country, which may or may not be where they actually edit from.  edits exclusively from a fairly narrow IP range, and as far as I can detect they are not using proxies/VPNs. That range geolocates to a different, but adjacent country from the one that ObtuksoHa most frequently shows up in.  has only edited from one IP; it is not a proxy, as far as I can tell, but it belongs to the same ISP as some of the IPs used by ObtuksoHa. If I had to hang some labels on it, I'd say that the connection between ObtuksoHa and Ants in text is somewhere between  and, and the relationship between ObtuksoHa and  is technically . This is all going off the technical data - I haven't looked at the editing, and there may obviously be MEAT going on, so I am explicitly not commenting on any of the existing blocks. One more thing -  is ✅ to the unused account . I'm going to block that account without tags, since Ants in text is blocked. This should not be help against them if for any reason they are unblocked in the future - the Syeda Noorz account was created first, and there is no policy against creating an account, deciding that you don't like the username, and creating a second account that you end up using.

 * Looks to me like some sort of UPE meatpuppetry. I'm not going to tag these accounts, but I think the existing blocks are appropriate. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 01:33, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
