This account controls (or previously had control of) 10 puppets. They all edit pages related to the work of Benjamin Maio Mackay. 2 of the accounts are clearly related by name to the subject. One was created solely to defend an article and stop it from being deleted. (also see the reasoning in this edit, the subject wants a wikipedia page so his audience can look him up. The accounts are created in and edits occur in bursts, and several accounts were created minutes apart. This edit shows the clear promotional content. this user's edits only add references to previously-written material. One user creates and heavily edits pages relating to the subject and his work. A common trait to these users' edits is that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benjamin_Maio_Mackay&diff=prev&oldid=777387806&diffmode=source they refer to the subject as 'Benjamin', rather than by his surname. Podcastfan2437 only edits articles relating the subject, all promotional material. Several edits, such as this one and this one and this one (judging by edit summary), remove 'liable' material from pages. The subject is not notable if not relying on the subjects provided by the sockpuppeteer. I proposed several pages for deletion with reasoning but all edits were undone (by an admin) SpaceFox99 (talk) 07:42, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
