Suspected sockpuppets
All three of these users have been attempting to promote Rafa Esparza both in his main article, and in sandboxes and drafts they’ve created. Additionally, all three of these users seem to have interests in the clothing/fashion industry, editing (and adding random promotional material to) similar pages such as Clothing industry and Sustainable fashion.


 * Sgonz310 and Azballer34 both edited Sustainable fashion and started promoting things related to that topic. (1, 2) They also made several edits to Rafa Esparza with the intent to promote him, and they both continued this pattern in sandboxes they created, as seen here and here. Not only that, but both of these users have nearly identical user pages, as Sgonz310’s page says “Hello everybody, I am a new editor!”, while Azballer34’s page says “Hi, I'm a new editor. Let's get lit.”


 * EscobedoJoss follows a similar pattern to these two users (trying to promote Rafa Esparza), and the links this user included in their draft article are extremely similar to the links that Sgonz310 added in their sandbox article that I mentioned earlier. In particular, EscobedoJoss added a link to Rafa Esparza‘s instagram account, as well as this link, both of which are links that Sgonz310 included in their sandbox article, and Azballer34 added the exact same link here.
