Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( originally filed under this user)

WinterMilton was created on 30 May. The same user also created
 * on 24 June,
 * on 26 June,
 * on 1 August, and
 * also on 1 August.

The connection between those five accounts were disclosed by Wazzup Carl here, on 11 August, and Wazzup Carl committed to using only that account going forward. The other four accounts have not been used since (unless there are deleted contribs I can't see).

Wazzup Carl was blocked for repeated copyright violations on 6 September. HolaCarl was created on 17 September. There are a number of overlaps with the other accounts.
 * Wazzup Carl created Draft:Ninong Ry, subsequently edited by HolaCarl.
 * Wazzup Carl created Daranak Falls, subsequently edited by HolaCarl. No edits by anyone else, except for a category edit by an unrelated editor.
 * Wazzup Carl created Binangonan Elementary School, which was deleted. HolaCarl created Draft:Binangonan Elementary School with the edit summary "recreated as draft"; it was deleted as a copyvio.
 * WinterMilton created Matthaios (rapper), which was then draftified. HolaCarl edited and submitted it.

In addition, HolaCarl has the same problems with understanding copyright as some of the other accounts had; in addition to the draft mentioned above, this copyvio comparison of an article written by HolaCarl, where a paragraph of text has been minimally and poorly rewritten, is familiar – but since copyvios are revdeled I can't give any diffs from the other accounts. An admin might want to look at deleted revisions of Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, Dhan Ryan Bayot, and Over You (Honor Society song). bonadea contributions talk 17:07, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Ah, I just found an earlier account, which was blocked a year ago:. That account has no undeleted contributions, but from what I see in the user logs, it's the same individual described in Draft:Carl Delos Arcos (which should be deleted), created by Wazzup Carl. Looking at those logs, it seems like there are UPE concerns here as well. --bonadea contributions talk 17:46, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

 * - All listed accounts, including Carl Delos Arcos, are ✅. This case needs to be moved to that location. I've blocked; please could a clerk do the move and tagging, I've got to dash.  Girth Summit  (blether)  06:16, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Moved and tagged. Closing. MarioGom (talk) 06:30, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Noting (for the record) that I made a mistake in my earlier statement - the master,, is actually stale - I thought they'd come up in one of the searches I ran, but I must have got confused because of the similarity of the username to that of , which is confirmed to the group. Given the behaviour and the username match, I don't think there's any point renaming/retagging - I don't think there's any possibility that these aren't being operated by the same person.
