Suspected sockpuppets
User:Arsenictheboy begins editing in June 2023 by making Wikilinks from pages to autoconfirm account (total of 11 edits). Doesn't edit again until the creation of the page Priyank Shah at the end of July (almost two months). Note their userpage was created AFTER they created the Priyank Shah page and contains a short generic description. User:Roberttoymaker1 has the same editing pattern, created in September 2023 and doesn't edit again until months later, creating a page for Ashutosh Valani. Their first edits are Wikilnks and they created a userpage AFTER publishing Ashutosh Valani to the mainspace with a similar short bio. NOTE - Priyank Shah and Ashutosh Valani are co-founders of the same company. Similar editing patters on two very closely related topics tells me these are the same person editing from different accounts. Finally, based on the user creation, then auto confirm, then waiting a few months to edit, my intuition tells me there are sleeper accounts. CNMall41 (talk) 20:49, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * , this may be related to Wiki972828. User:Worldiswide was blocked as one of that user's socks. Note that when initially creating accounts, Worldiswide, Arsenictheboy, and Roberttoymaker1 all autoconfirm their accounts by adding Wikilinks. Likely part of the larger socks farms related to the film-industry I have been chasing, but this could be a good path for CU. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

 * - I've blocked the two reported based on behavior, but the editing pattern makes me suspect a sockfarm. Can a CU check for others? Thanks. 0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 10:41, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
