Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Both brand new accounts making the exact same style draft articles about single short episodes of a Angry Birds cartoon. The formatting and style is exactly the same in each draft. Draft:Pigs in a Tree, Draft:Chill out and Draft:Red and Chuck are Cooking are some examples McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 03:21, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * I added four more accounts that are also creating fake Angry Birds drafts and (except for James ryals) have obvious username similarities. See etc. James ryals created Draft:Angry Birds Show, which references hoax episodes created by the other accounts, e.g. Draft:Where’s my Crown? and Draft:The Runaway Helmet.  - given the number of accounts, it's worth a check for others. James ryals is the oldest account, but I'll wait to move the case until CU is completed in case an older master is found. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 04:01, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * . Please indefinitely block the account as proven. - A brief look to see if an underlying rangeblock is possible would be great; if not, it's not exactly strenuous work here... Jack Frost (talk) 21:51, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * and deleted the draft. Noting that "nonsense usernames" can be great usernames... Sdrqaz (talk) 15:04, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Another admin has already done a rangeblock so there is nothing more to do except possibly tagging. Marking for close. EdJohnston (talk) 04:34, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
