Suspected sockpuppets
Tianfdd is a brand new account, who as their very first edit creates a fully-fledged draft WP:WAICY, now at Draft:World Artificial Intelligence Competition for Youth. This has been previously created by and  (neither is blocked, but both are stale I guess). The most recent copy was rejected at AfC and speedy requested, but it wasn't the author (ReadyAI) who reacted to these, it was Figbiscuits (now blocked) coming to its rescue, incl. defending it at the subsequent Articles for deletion/World Artificial Intelligence Competition for Youth. Given that we now know Figbiscuits has a tendency to sock, I'm thinking Tianfdd seems an awful lot like a duckling of theirs. Can we have CU to confirm and to see if there are others?

 * I compared Tianfdd to the non-stale accounts tagged as socks of Figbiscuits. Tianfdd is ❌ from a technical standpoint (different continents). I suspect there is still probably some kind of WP:COI connection—User:ReadyAI shows that there is some COI editing in this topic area. Closing without action for now, but if Tianfdd keeps spamming WAICY drafts, I suspect we could block them directly for that. Mz7 (talk) 06:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
