Suspected sockpuppets

All 3 users have only created a /sandbox page in their userspace. All 3 user accounts have had the same content (some random Java code that interacts with a SQL database). It seems strange for 3 seperate people to all only create a sandbox page with the same random code, so it suggests to me that these 3 accounts are linked.

 * Also adding Vsumane, as they have also added similar strange java code to their sandbox and have only made 1 edit (creating the sandbox page), which is very similar to the behaviour of the other accounts. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 19:57, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * See:
 * User:Lkmad/sandbox
 * User:Mannu AB/sandbox
 * User:Vsumane/sandbox
 * User:Madnk/sandbox
 * Note that these pages were deleted under WP:NOTAWEBHOST. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 20:21, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also adding Kotinima as exactly the same behaviour and text added to their sandbox page. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 07:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * See User:Kotinima/sandbox Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 07:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also adding Supunjaka as exactly the same behaviour, with Java code added to their sandbox and only edits to their sandbox.
 * See User:Supunjaka/sandbox Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 07:30, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also adding RavinduP123 as same behaviour. See User:RavinduP123/sandbox. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 08:55, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also adding Kshan123, but this time the java code was placed on their userpage. See User:Kshan123. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 09:01, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Adding Poodapanni, please see User talk:Poodapanni. Dreamy <i style="color:#d01e1e">Jazz</i> 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 09:05, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Requesting CheckUser as it seems the person behind these accounts will continue to make accounts, so an IP block on creating accounts may help to prevent them from creating further accounts.

 * I feel that, although these user accounts are not being used abusively per-se, the creation of multiple accounts in a short space of time to do the same thing is questionable. All the user accounts, I feel, would be banned under WP:NOTHERE. However, it seems that blocking the user accounts won't stop the person from creating more user accounts to do the same thing. Furthermore, the account Kshan123 was created after had banned both Madnk and Lkmad, so if the accounts were linked, block evasion would come in to play.

 * User:RavinduP123 has just blanked their sandbox page. Marked for G7. Dreamy <i style="color:#d01e1e">Jazz</i> 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:55, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

It is possible that these might be students but that doesn't matter because if they are, they don't belong on the English Wikipedia. Some are dropping unwelcome code into articles (some as IPs). Blocking all except 96Bachuu. If there is an instructor, they screwed up. . The articles Firebase, Android and Software testing are some of the targets. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  22:49, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
