Suspected sockpuppets



 * Group 2


 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Adambrazier created Draft:Adam Brazier. It was subsequently edited by FoundTalent and Sonstorr. FoundTalent created Draft:Adam Brazier (2), formerly in a user sandbox then mainspace at Adam Brazier. Sonstarr created Adam Brazier formerly in a user sandbox before I deleted it. Both mainspace creations have similar content.

Sonstarr managed to find Draft:Mario Rocca within two days of creation:. I find it an odd coincidence that said draft was created by another eponymous account Martino.Rocca3.

Finally Sonstarr also edited Adval Tech Holding. The page history is inexplicably full of SPAs making trivial edits, vandalizing or spamming all of which are in Group 2. I have no idea why this relatively unknown company, whose article is rather promotional, would attract this level of attention. Group 2 is only a selection, there are plenty more in the history. Also note the username of the last account I have named. MER-C 19:47, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

This is very tedious, and thus far I've seen more unrelated users than related, which doesn't surprise me in these kinds of cases. My own fault for saying I would check. :-( That said, what is special about the last username you listed?--Bbb23 (talk) 01:05, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Starting at the top with Adambrazier, I have checked all the accounts through Aland273264872, resulting in the following findings.
 * Group 1 – the following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * Adambrazier
 * FoundTalent
 * Sonstorr
 * Group 2 – the following accounts are to each other and ❌ to Group 1:
 * Stellaborealis
 * Glamoreprods
 * Group 3 – the following accounts are ❌ to each other and to Groups 1-2:
 * Martino.Rocca3
 * Lilcupcake 1212
 * Ivan2561991
 * HiyoAkiniro6
 * Frikin hek
 * Aland273264872
 * I've blocked Adambrazier without tags. I believe it is not a good use of CU time to check the remaining users., if there are any of the unchecked users you think are more likely to be socks, please list them with reasons why they stand out.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:46, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I thought at least some of those would be spammers manufacturing autoconfirmed accounts. Looks like it is a bunch of truly random SPAs instead. Never mind. MER-C 16:28, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
