Suspected sockpuppets

Both accounts have very similar editing interests. The suspected sockmaster has made several edits to Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority and the suspected sockpuppet has edited it once. Both accounts have created drafts for Abiodun Dabiri (Dipo.keshiro - Draft:Abiodun Dabiri and Jcrowe2018 - Draft:Engr. Abiodun Dabiri), who is the managing director for the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority. The draft by Jcrowe2018 was created after the first one by Dipo.keshiro. Dipo.keshiro's first draft was created at 10:51, was different to Jcrowe2018's draft and was speedily deleted under G11. Jcrowe2018 then creates his draft at 12:24, which seems to have been copied from somewhere (as it has "References[edit]" which suggests a direct copy and paste from a wiki page). Dipo.keshiro recreates his draft at 12:53 with very similar text to Jcrowe2018's draft (without the reference however). When I decline this draft, they add the same source in the same way (external link without square brackets and in the references section without ref tags). The main link is that both drafts link to Abiodun Dabiri, when the name should be in bold and not linked in the lead.

It looks like Dipo.keshiro has only edited in relation to Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority and Jcrowe2018 has mostly only edited to topics related to Lagos and Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority.

One difference is that Dipo.keshiro could be editing from a different location as they use a PHP7 server (e.g. ) and Jcrowe2018 does not (however, I don't know how wmf are testing PHP7, so the same sever (i.e. same location) may handle different users with different backend software). Requesting CU as there are other accounts which could be related, which are SPAs on Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority.

 * Adding extra suspected sockpuppets as these added accounts (Muizzogbara, Cricklewood908 and Hemansuccess) are SPA accounts on Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority. Muizzogbara removes tags, promotional editing by Hemansuccess, addition of logo by Cricklewood908 over three edits). These accounts seem to be "bad-hand" accounts used by the suspected sockmaster to do things which they did not want connected to their account. Muizzogbara removing tags, Cricklewood908 uploading File:LagosLAMATA.jpg without seemingly permission and promotional editing by Hemansuccess.

 * Furthermore, I suspect the accounts I have added are stale for CU. Only requesting CU to the suspected sockmaster and first suspected sockpuppet. If Muizzogbara is connected, that account is the oldest. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:31, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, Dipo.keshiro has just resubmitted their draft, after adding only one reference which was the same reference that Jcrowe2018 had added to their draft. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:53, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Technically somewhere between and . Same country, but different ISPs and the geolocation is off a bit (which isn't saying much). UA is somewhat similar, but different enough that I suspect different devices.  TonyBallioni (talk) 22:37, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Meatpuppetry at least, based on the recovery of deleted content. Sock blocked indef, master blocked for 2 weeks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
