Suspected sockpuppets

I seem to have uncovered a long COI/UPE sock farm. All of the editors above have edited promotionally regarding Synthesis Design + Architecture and the University of Southern California. It is hard to provide diffs since the majority of their articles have been deleted but the behaviour evidence should show they are related. Everyone above has edited in some way articles involving Lauren Matchison, Luciana Varkulja, Lisa Hsieh, Michelle Addington, and Esther Margulies.

 * - none of them are registered with our Dashboard, and the editing patterns don't look like students. I'd guess a less-than-perfectly thought-out editathon associated with USC. (I'm not an admin on the P&E Dashboard, so I have no idea if there's anything there.) Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:23, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I checked most of them, also warned the supposed sockmaster for suspected sock puppetry, and here's what i found.
 * Archlife2020: Has a lot of deleted pages, mostly because of G12, the only alive article this user made was Susan Pringle Frost, which is right now moved to the draft namespace.
 * JuanV199: The only thing i found in this user's talk page was a Copyright warning (The one for newcomers). Looked inside his contributions, and found 2 deleted edits, both made on the same article, Gabriela Carillo.
 * Lmatchis: Not that much to say here, other than the fact that this user was blocked for a week for Violating the copyright rule. What did he edit? Was not able to find cause i think his contributions were deleted.
 * Dosu-arch: This user right now is blocked for Apparently promotion of a company or something else. The same thing applies to Lmatchis for the contributions, i see none when i look through them.
 * Cxckim: Almost applys the same as Lmatchis, was blocked for 1 week for Copyright violation. This time, you can see some of the contribs this user has. He made 1 Citation on an article, and another edit on the same article. That's all i can see.
 * Architextonics: This user was actually made a long time ago. This user was made in 2011. Not that much else to say here other than the fact that XLinkbot reverted one of his edits due to inappropriate external links.
 * Scotturiiu: Nothing to say here, other than he was welcomed by Red Director.
 * T4545809: As our final user to talk about, its pretty disappointing. Nothing was on his talk page. He did contribute, but nothing bad or anything.

Thats all the users i have checked into. I know this may be pointless, but this took alot of time to take through. -- The Win Rat Here!  16:27, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I dont think so. Checked through all of them, not a single one was notable for any sort of class project. -- The Win Rat Here!  16:28, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Are any of these users part of a class project?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:31, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * was created by OutreachDashboard.
 * was created by OutreachDashboard.
 * ,, , , and are listed at.
 * was most recently active during the same time period as the users above, and is likely associated with the same edit-a-thon.
 * That leaves, , and . ChinoXL63 is a decade stale, Architextonics is three years stale, and Scotturiiu's only edit was adding himself to a list of faculty.
 * I don't think this is anything sinister. Closing. ST47 (talk) 20:04, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
