This IP address has popped up and asked me to move the draft to article space, saying that the COI has been taken care of. Appears to be block evasion by the sockfarm pushing the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:58, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Looks like it. Blocked the IP for a week (I know it's a week stale, but it appears to be a low-traffic IP so not too worried about collateral damage), kinda doubt that will be particularly effective since this person seems to be hopping IPs pretty quickly. Noting for posterity that appears to be the same person - the 119 IP signed a message left on Rodw's talk page by the 152 IP. That one is two weeks stale, though, so leaving it alone.

See comments on my talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Robert_McClenon&diff=prev&oldid=969751458&diffmode=source trying to get Kevin Andrew Tan draft accepted. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:13, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Blocked this one too. WHOIS says they're editing from, which is a pretty wide range. I'm not comfortable blocking it since there appears to be a reasonable amount of legitimate activity on that range as well, so this will probably be a game of whack-a-mole.

User:Carmellow15 created Draft:Kevin Andrew Tan and was blocked.

User:Zed Pascual then created Draft:Kevin Andrew L. Tan, which is obvious corporate spam.

Likely long-term abuse, so check for sleepers. HᴇʀᴘᴇᴛᴏGᴇɴᴇꜱɪꜱ (talk) 14:11, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

 * The master account is more than three months old, so no usable data will come from a check. A sleeper check probably won't turn up any obvious results since the timeline between the creation and editing of these accounts, as well as the timeline between the account creations is over a year. There's enough behavioral evidence without CU that can be examined.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:20, 7 November 2020 (UTC)


 * My take on this is two different UPEs chasing the same commission with different drafts on the same subject. I'm closing this with no action taken since it's not socking, but that doesn't preclude somebody else taking action for UPE, Spam, etc. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
