Suspected sockpuppets

Update: After some more digging, I believe Aderiqueza is in fact not the main sock – Hormorkunmy looks like the main account because it was created earlier, back in 2018 here. Edits are also very similar to the other accounts, but the mass editing for this account began in 1 July 2020, and edit summaries are always "#WPWP #WPWPNG +Image" or "Add image #WPWP #WPWPKWR" or "Added image #WPWP #WPWPKWR." This account also attempted to add the same photo to Alexa Nikolas as the other two accounts in this edit. I'm not sure if I can, or should, delete this page to file a new investigation with the main sock but I'll leave this here. Thanks. Rosalina2427 (talk) 00:44, 24 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Accounts both made their first edits in early April 2021, just a few days apart from one another. The main account, Aderiqueza, edited their user talk page on 5 April 2021 here, while the sock, Tanyel, made their first edit, to their user page, on 7 April 2021 here.


 * Both accounts had little to no activity afterwards until early/mid July by suddenly mass-editing in very similar patterns and behaviors: adding photos into articles, usually in BLPs, especially those of professional football players. Both accounts also attempted to add the same photo in the article Alexa Nikolas first here by Aderiqueza on 13 July 2021 and then again by Tanyel on 24 July 2021. Additionally, both accounts exclusively exhibit this behavior in all their contributions starting from this period of mass editing.


 * Edit summaries all follow a similar pattern as well. Aderiqueza's edit summaries are always "Added image #WPWP #WPWPKWR" while Tanyel's are always "+photo #WPWP", as seen in their contributions here for Aderiqueza and here for Tanyel. Rosalina2427  (talk) 00:35, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 * . I can see where the sockpuppetry suspicion is coming from, but it seems most likely that these are distinct individuals participating in Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos/Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021 Contest at Kwara. Closing without action. Blablubbs (talk) 01:14, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
