Suspected sockpuppets
My first time reporting via SPI. I've done my best to read, apologies if I have made an error (and please let me know so I can do it correctly in future). Have seen a pattern of accounts engaging in the same kind of promotional editing across Barry Habib and RPM Mortgage as User:Amalloyz who was blocked for socking some years back. Recently, a new account, User:Shellymbs showed up at Articles_for_deletion/Barry_Habib and starting talking in the plural first person about keeping the article. I noticed suspicious cross-pollination between RPM and Habib via User:Kentaylor217 who has added promotional edits to both. Given that Amalloyz was banned for socking promo edits to RPM, I figure it's probably the same person. BrigadierG (talk) 01:08, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Only one of the accounts has edited recently, but the pattern is a clear decade-long influence campaign. Blocked them all without tags and issued some semi-protections. Courcelles (talk) 16:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
