Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Not sure if this is sock, meat or UPE, but something is fishy. Cape99town has been working on Draft:Jeffrey_Boutwell including some expected new editor moves like an accidental move to Wikipedia space. Shortly after it was returned to draft space, turns up to make some edits and ultimately submits the draft, which I declined. The draft then goes quiet until yesterday when Bstewart returned and appeared to edit the draft. While the subject is likely notable, he does not appear to be in the news for his draft to merit attention from three users, who by and large haven't edited elsewhere (cape edited a relative about whom Boutwell wrote a book).

 * Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. Hi, I'm not a sockpuppet. I didn't know what that meant until 5 minutes ago.  I'm trying to help publish an entry with limited Wikipedia experience.  I suppose this could be considered "fishy" for somebody used to looking at drafts that are created by experienced users who know exactly what you want, but two weeks of non editing meant I was taking your rejection advice and trying to hone more sources.  If the actual concern was the quantity and quality of the editors, as this complaint states, then you should have said that so the correct problem could have been understood.  My understanding is that the notability of a subject, combined with proper citations from neutral and individual contributors, constitutes a valid entry.

 * is stale; the other accounts are ✅ to one another. Editing the same draft through multiple accounts is indeed fishy - all blocked. I'm going to block Phoneix2045 as well as suspected, since they have only ever edited that draft.  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
