Suspected sockpuppets
Coordinated editing at Binibining Pilipinas 2022, Batangas State University, Miss Universe Thailand 2022, Draft:Gabrielle Basiano, Draft:Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Draft:Miss Grand Philippines, and Draft:Miss Universe 2023.

Edit history of the drafts is especially incriminating, see rapid edits here:
 * first editor creates Draft:Gabrielle Basiano and edits for 30 minutes; second editor joins Δ=0:02; a 15-minute series of edits by one of the accounts, then the IP joins Δ=0:06.
 * 2-3 hour editing spans at the other three drafts, e.g.
 * IP followed editor's newly created article after it was draftified
 * Ditto, another draftified article

 * There's an odd thing on this IP range too. See Special:Contributions/Wufjdk and Special:Contributions/49.149.134.117 & Special:Contributions/49.149.133.205, especially . In other words it looks probable that Editscontent2.9 is Wufjdk, at least. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:55, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

 * - to compare IWakeeVibwike and Editscontent2.9. The overlap, particularly on drafts, is fairly suspicious, and there are other behavioural similarities (e.g. using mobile web editor, rarely using edit summaries). However those behaviours aren't particularly uncommon & it's possible that these are two different people with an interest in beauty pageants. Hopefully CU should help to sort this out.

 * Editscontent2.9 and IWakeeVibwike appear to be ❌ -- RoySmith (talk) 19:24, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've looked at the connection between these accounts, Wufjdk and the IP range. As noted above, an editor on the range has admitted to being Wufjdk, and behaviourally, it's pretty obvious that most of the recent traffic on that range is from that user. I am not convinced about the connection between Wufjdk/the IPs and Editscontent2.9. Editscontent has reverted edits by the IP range  and because of the nature of this topic area, I would be very cautious about blocking people based on shared interests without CU verification. I am closing this case for now but will open a new case on Wufjdk and the IP range. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 21:40, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
