Possibly WP:MEAT, so requesting a CU to help distinguish if it is true sockpuppetry or not. Janeofalltrades1 has made what appear to be a string of UPE edits, including creating Draft:The Storage Group, which I draftified. After the draftification, Iminvestedindumbstuff immediately begins adding to and updating the draft. It would be incredibly unlikely for a new account to immediately (within 8 minutes of the account being created) find and then start making serious contributions to a random draft, especially within hours of the article being created and then draftified.

 * Comment It looks like the second account is feigning ignorance to coordinating edits (and the promotional aspects), so its possible that AGF may no longer apply. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:42, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I did see that. I get my AGF from a special high-quality source, so it continues to work when lesser quality AGF would have long since fallen victim to the obvious attempt at deception.  If they do something more serious than post silly things on user talk pages, please file a new report.  The funny thing about the special high-strength AGF is that when it finally does fail, it makes a bigger mess when the pieces hit the ground. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:50, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

This is the dumbest thing I've read. I started editing the page with no account when I found it. Then, after making some edits, I decided to make an account on Wikipedia so that I would get credit for my edits. Nobody's promoting anything - the page is written with the same language and cadence of other pages of the same type. Which is... Hubspot and U-Haul. There's nothing on there AT ALL that promotes the company and I'm not some random sock puppet account. Like I stated before - Wikipedia's information on self-storage as a whole is not updated or relevant enough to the stuff that's actually happening in the industry. I've been looking at pages for information, found a page that had no information, and then I started doing research and writing an article. Literally as I was making my first few edits, the user who's now flagging the page for deletion turned it into a draft which caused an editing conflict. After that I went to the draft page and then started editing it with the edits I was already trying to do when it was a regular page. This is insanity. You have little to no proof that we're the same person and say that, then turn around and delete the page anyway because "there's no way they're not the same person or working together." Well I'm sorry that I didn't decide to add some edits to Google or Twitter's pages, but I have no interest in them. I'm interested in self storage, so I edit self storage pages. It's as simple as that. Jesus, you guys are more militant than actual police.Iminvestedindumbstuff (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

 * There's no temporal overlap, so technically not socking, even though it's pretty obvious they're either the same person or working closely together, and clearly here for promotional purposes. I left uw-agf-sock, and I'll leave it there for now as far as the socking aspect goes.  If somebody else wants to address the UPE/Spam aspects, have at it. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:07, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
