Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

User:Worldviewfrom created the page Conektr, which looks very much like paid editing, and this was raised by both User:NoonIcarus and User:Kuru. The article was then moved to draftspace by User:Kuru. User:Alaahamdulilah started editing less than two hours after the article was moved to draft,, and then made a very public declaration on their userpage that they were here to target "COI editors, self Autobiography publishers, (and) Company promoters". After making just over 10 edits, they suddenly move Conektr back into mainspace.

I strongly suspect User:Worldview to be a sock of User:The Supermind, who was previously blocked for socking, but as that is stale I'm treating this as a separate account for now. - Bilby (talk) 09:13, 7 October 2023 (UTC) Bilby (talk) 09:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

 * - there are more accounts here, and from a quick peek at the CU logs I think the connection to The Supermind is quite likely, and potentially a number of other cases as well. Give me a minute.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:49, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * is ✅ to the following accounts:
 * (already blocked for spamming and likely socking)
 * These accounts are obviously all evading the block on Eyoab, which appears to be the oldest confirmed account. The connection the is definitely possible - the IPs in the CU log for that account are within the range that all of these accounts are dotting around in. Any connection to that case would need to be made on behaviour however, and while I see some shared interests, I would need to do a closer analysis than I have time for right now to convince myself one way or the other. I will for now block the above as socks of Eyoab; if someone wants to move this over to The Supermind and retag I have no problem with that.  Girth Summit  (blether)  11:27, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * - If a clerk thinks merging to the Supermind case and retagging as Girth suggests, that's cool with me. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:41, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

It's certainly suspicious that the user, who was registered last month and made some random edits before going inactive, returned to create a page for "TÌmoty Armoo," which had previously been created by the master under a slightly different title "Timoty Armoo." Additionally, they used an image File:Timoty Armoo.jpg that had also been uploaded by the master. This behavior raises concerns about potential attempts to game the system and does not appear to align with the actions of a brand new user. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 18:48, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

, you blocked Basketeeers last November as a sock and deleted the page they created per WP:G5, both actions indicating there was an earlier account. I tried finding the earlier account but failed - I don't suppose you remember who it is or can retrace your steps? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:04, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * They same user created Conektr Tech, and was blocked as a sock of User:Eyoab by Girth Summit. I picked up the two accounts, but hadn't been able to identify the original master, just that Basketeeers was at best a sock of User:Alaahamdulilah, and both have an earlier master. So I believe that Girth Summit is right and both go back to Eyoab. - Bilby (talk) 21:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - Thanks, . Please move to Sockpuppet investigations/Eyoab. Bbb23 (talk) 23:34, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The technical data for Mateyoss indicates proxy use or WP:MEAT. Given the recreation of a very similar article, blatant gaming behaviour with the title, and other suspicious edits (see deleted contribs) UPE meatpuppetry seems likely, so I'm going to block as suspected. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 23:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, and Mateyoss has a ✅ sleeper, . Spicy (talk) 23:31, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
