Suspected sockpuppets
This account was registered in Sept 2020, did a bit of editing, and then went to sleep for 3+ years. They've now sprang back to life, creating two drafts on an app called Movez, at Draft:Movez and User:Kinshipmaster/sandbox2. The Movez title was protected in Apr 2020 for having been repeatedly created. The account behind those creations is Jaymovez (who claims on their talk page, if you can be bothered to plough through the verbiage, not to have any connection with the subject, despite their username), who was blocked in Feb 2020 for spamming, and was later discovered to be using a sock account,. They subsequently created at least two other socks, and  (both blocked).

Centrarwiki had created a draft on Movez in their sandbox, and subsequently blanked it, but here is the content. If you compare that against the newest User:Kinshipmaster/sandbox2 draft, they are so nearly identical that this cannot be a coincidence. I suppose it's possible that both users are genuinely independent of each other, and just happened to receive the same content from the same source, but I reckon it is more likely that they are instead the same user. What say you? (Requesting CU to be sure and to check if there are more of these lurking around.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:52, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

 * There's nothing non-stale to compare to. I might block anyway for behavioural block evasion/likely UPE but CU is not much help. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 21:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
