Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Sock master blocked after repeated copyright violations - this diff of their user page contains warnings before they were removed. Blocked on 2023-10-26. New account with a very similar name created 2023-11-31 and immediately begins to edit similar articles - e.g. this diff on 2023–24 Plunket Shield season, an article created by the master account and edited almost solely by the two accounts. Editing for both accounts focuses almost entirely on cricket league and season articles, often relatively minor ones such as this diff on 2024 International League T20, an article edited by both users. Introduced obvious copyvios at Zimbabwe Domestic Twenty20 Competition which ended up getting copied across to Stanbic Bank 20 Series by which is when they got picked up by. These have now been rev del'd, but there seems a clear pattern. No idea how many more copyvios there may be. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:33, 19 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I wasn't sure about Hain9, despite the similarities. I think the copyvio stuff is them copying over 9 SAGAR's copyvios from another page. Having said that, this edit raised my eyebrows a little. They may be connected: I guess the CU will show that. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:37, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have been contacted regularly by that user. Does this affect on me? Hain9 (talk) 10:37, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Blocked, tagged, closing. Bbb23 (talk) 14:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm reopening this after noticing, an earlier account that I believe is the same person based on (1) username similarity; (2) userpage activity on all three accounts; (3) page intersection; (4) topic area; and (5) problems with copyright violations. Requesting a CU to confirm and look for others. And an odd edit by Hain9 of 9 SAGAR's userpage.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
