Suspected sockpuppets
An additional sockpuppet. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 11:43, 8 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Bbb23, another sockpuppet has appeared a day after I made this report. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 11:58, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Girth Summit, a quick search reveals some related accounts. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 19:29, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Most of those hits appear unrelated, and none of them are active (unless I've missed anything?). Girth Summit  (blether)  22:27, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * This is a case of LTA, pages Draft:Fantastic Services and Fantastic Services date back to 2017, which were both made by paid editors. These recent accounts are part of a wider commercial spam. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 23:16, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Can't tell if this is sock, meat or just different paid editors picking up the same job - CU doesn't connect the accounts, but it did sniff out . Blocking both.  Girth Summit  (blether)  17:52, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

UPE, likely sleeper account, recreated article Fantastic Services. The article was deleted several times and was also recreated at Draft:Fantastic Services. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 15:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * MediaWatch created articles Rune Sovndahl and Fantastic Services after two years of inactivity, both of which were deleted in the past for promotion/non-notable biography. This is most certainly not the first time this company has hired paid editors. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 16:43, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

 * This doesn't look like the previous cases. The article is pretty different as well. It may be a different (and more competent) UPE editor picking up the same job, but if that's the case I can't currently connect it to any other account.  Girth Summit  (blether)  18:02, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Already blocked for UPE, separate to any socking. Closing. --Jack Frost (talk) 06:16, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
