Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Seems like a likely tagteam/sockfarm effort. Both accounts were created within days of each other, and have made various contributions that raise UPE red flags (see edits at Sabi "Doc" Kumar, User:Uyrealpha/sandbox, Elizabeth Otto, and Draft:Marco Salari). However, the reason I'm filing this case is their joint involvement at Jeremy Delk, where both editors have attempted to submit sanitized versions of the article that omit the subject's criminal record, assessed by to be by far the most notable aspect of the subject. signed,Rosguill talk 22:35, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

 * - history of Jeremy Delk is suspicious enough to warrant CU. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 04:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

 * These two are to each other   is ❌.  From the history of Jeremy Delk it seems almost certain that  is also the same, but surprisingly CU data says the are also ❌. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:58, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Moved case to Caresgenius. - please indef HFyIN as a proven sock of Caresgenius, and indef Uyrealpha without tags as UPE WP:MEAT. Considering that Uyrealpha managed to find this obscure draft created by a UPE sock and move it to mainspace, and that their other contributions include this blatant promo  and an attempt to advertise a personal injury lawyer, it's pretty clear that this is illegitimate coordination in violation of the TOU. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 05:08, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Done! Closing. firefly  ( t · c ) 10:50, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

My attention was drawn to odd moves from Draft: to main space of promotional articles. This was sufficient to suggest potential UPE. Then I looked at Draft:William Rosellini, and I found a reference in the logs that I now cannot find to WikiPR. Forgive me for being unable to find it, but that raised a strong red flag for me. Knowing I am unable to investigate this further without admin goggles I believe there is sufficient peculiarity to request CU. Without it there is a big rabbit hole to go down. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:24, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

 * is not entirely conclusive, but resembles Euine and between the overlap and the promo, there's enough for me to block that one as well.
 * I'm pretty sure there's a prior master here, but I can't tell who it is, sorry.

 * - Caresgenius is a previous master. I have logged evidence to paid-en-wp@. Please, merge EurigiYO to Caresgenius. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 08:06, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * For the record, the evidence mentioned above can be found here and here. Salvio giuliano 20:59, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * is ✅ and is, but I'm convinced that it's either a meat puppet or a sock puppet in the light of the evidence above, so I'm about to block without tags.  Salvio giuliano 21:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * case merged from EurigiYO to Caresgenius —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 22:30, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * . Every account as proven to Caresgenius, with dual tags for those confirmed to EurigiYO. We're dealing with a company rather than an individual, so we probably won't be able to make a meaningful distinction between meatpuppetry and sockpuppetry. G5 date is 8 November 2022.

Not a ton to go on here because a lot of the Sockpuppeteer's edits are deleted, but I noticed this user has taken an interest in the article Nick Savides which was moved to Draft:Nick Savides. See their contributions asking me and another editor about it. Given that the article is about an obscure topic, and it is the only thing they're interested in, it seems probable that this user is a sock or meat puppet. –– Formal Dude  (talk)  12:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

One of several SPAs at Josh Guberman, moved the draft to mainspace just as EurigiYo did in December 2022. The other accounts, Losojosazules and Wtcoreny, are probably too old for any useful conclusion to be drawn. CU please, if anyone has the time? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:48, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

 * ❌ to previous accounts in this case - I reckon this is a different freelance paid editor hired to do the same job however, and have UPE-blocked it accordingly. firefly  ( t · c ) 11:51, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
