Suspected sockpuppets
The master created their account on April 18 and has made 267 edits since then. They have created a very large number of articles about Egyptian towns, all of which are based on the same template. They include specific population statistics for men and women with sources to various page of the same host (https://www.youm7.com/), none of which supports the stats. They also insert an orphan template in their own articles, which is a bit odd, but they have a liking for orphan templates generally, although they don't really understand how they work.

The suspected sock ostensibly sought help from the master, no idea why as it's not as if the master has any real experience on the face of it, and the master has been "helping" them, which is a bit like the blind leading the blind. Although not about a place but about an actor, Draft:Riyad Al-Qasbaji, created by the sock, also uses the youm7 website as a source. The master too creates pages related to Egyptian entertainment, both actors and TV series.

There's also the images both accounts upload. The names are similar, e.g., "MbgIMG 20230525 110608 383.jpg" (sock) and "MbgIMG 0468.jpg" (master).

Finally, one account has "Dr" in their username, and the other "Mr." I'm requesting a check to confirm as there are some behavioral dissimilarities that prevent this from being ducky. Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Some intersection on articles, but principally a new user creating tons of new pages about Egyptians, just like the previous socks. Requesting CU to confirm. Bbb23 (talk) 19:15, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

 * , best I can give you right now is that they're in the same country using some of the same ISPs and the same mobile operating system. Use your judgement. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:16, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Just as before, the CU results are certainly more compelling than "unlikely" (see archive for the findings of ), and, again, when coupled with behavior, means sufficient evidence to block and tag. Sometimes I wonder if there isn't some undisclosed paid editing going on here, which might explain the CU results. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 01:23, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
