Suspected sockpuppets
The sock and sockmaster have each been blocked on Commons for sockpuppetry involving repeatedly re-uploading photos used for self-promotion. Some of this self-promotion has been taking place on EnWiki. Note the master's contributions about Caamir Cusmaan Caamir, as well as the sock's sandbox and the deleted versions of their user page.

This is clear evasion of scrutiny, as the master account and sock account both appear to be promoting the same individual and do not publicly disclose a connection between themselves.

I am not requesting checkuser because this is a duck case. The master is the old account and have used it to upload images used by the sock even after the sock began posting, so this isn't a simple forgotten password situation. The logged out edit that created Draft:Caamir is also clearly duckish, as it uses File:Caamircusmaan.jpg, which was uploaded by the master and is similarly (self-)promotional. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 03:24, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
