Suspected sockpuppets
Wikiwriter-12023 is registered and as their very first edit creates a fully-fledged 17KB article Draft:Power Horse (yeah, right!). I had a look at the logs for that title in the draft and main spaces, and it turns out Barkaat Ahmad had previously written about the same topic, before getting blocked for spamming in 2018. I realise that was a long time ago, so the connection between the two is tenuous at best, but perhaps worth looking into? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:41, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

 * The versions of the articles are very different. I don't think Wikiwriter-12023 is a sock, although it seems likely that they are a UPE or COI editor. I don't think their behaviour quite rises to the level of a block for spamming just yet, but I have no concerns if another admin disagrees. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 19:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Blocked. Given they are confirmed to another (already blcoked) spammy account, I think that's enough to show them the door. Courcelles (talk) 13:18, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
