New account Yaqooder was created on November 16, and that day completed 13 edits, 10 of which were deleted. He/she then used the page curation tool to review five pages. The middle one, Michael J. Roads, had just been moved to mainspace by Catalyst Directions, who blanked Draft:Michael J. Roads, which contained some of my edits. This caught my attention, so I took a look at the page curation log again a few days later (HERE) and found some atypical behaviour. Although quite a few pages had been reviewed, none had been tagged for problems, although some had obvious weaknesses (eg Ernfrid Malmgren, Design Museum Gent and Zhou Hui which had no references). Among those reviewed were the following pages which were all copied or moved to mainspace by editors with between 10 and 15 live edits shortly before Yaqooder curated them:
 * Inge Geerdens GROMAKED, a brand new editor who knows how to unhide categories
 * Charles Mayrs (Enkephalon denies being a paid agent)
 * Pro Motion, Inc Jamesrieley (a draft was blanked and deleted November 8, yet very similar text was used to create this page on the tenth) A brand new user who knows how to create columns.

I suspect that these are either one person or working together, and that the swift patrolling by Yaqooder is to prevent tags being added by other page patrollers. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 08:23, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Zendarling was created in 2017 to get around Blinkydarling's 2015 block. Aside from the similarity in the names Blinkydarling and Zendarling, both accounts almost exclusively edit the article Ezra Bayda or are concerned with adding Ezra Bayda to other articles (Blinkydarling Zendarling) which is an article that Blinkydarling created. There are two articles tangibly related to Ezra Bayda that both accounts edit: Bernie Glassman (Blinkydarling Zendarling), and Ordinary Mind Zen School (Blinkydarling / Zendarling) It seems that Blinkydarling (who has a history of sockpuppets according to the SPI archives and Blinkydarling's block log) created Zendarling with the sole purpose of continuing to edit the article they created. - Aoidh (talk) 02:08, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
