All three appear to have been engaged in the last three months of adding promotional links disguised as legitimate citations (examples here, here, and here). In several of the edits, the provided doesn't actually support the claim made. Sleepyfish45 also restored a previous edit by Hamster47, and made the same edit on another page as a previous edit of Hamster47. Both of these socks have also worked on creating drafts for "AdHamster" (see User:Hamster47/sandbox and Draft:AdHamster), which makes me suspect that this might also be a case of paid editting (or an attempt to show capability). Both Christopher1981 and Sleepyfish45 have also recently added similar promotional links to the Espresso Coffee Brewers website (here and here), which makes me suspect that there might be other sleeper sock accounts.

 * ✅. Bagging and tagging socks. Leaving master for admin discretion on action.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:56, 30 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Blocking indef. Likely undisclosed paid editing company which spammed links. I don't think the master will be here for anything other than promotion. Indef is not forever, but using multiple accounts to make undisclosed paid edits is not the kind of people/person we want editing.
