Suspected sockpuppets
User:Jm33746 has done very little on Wikipedia this year beyond repeatedly promoting the subject of Draft:Trish Leigh, a draft they created on an apparently non-notable individual currently being discussed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Trish Leigh. A new account, User:Wikiedits1234567890 has now registered, solely to edit the draft. The edits consist solely of links to the individual's own website - this is after Jm33746 was told that third-party sourcing would be necessary. It seems reasonable to me to conclude that a new account turning up to edit an obscure draft in such a manner is a sock, (or possibly a meatpuppet, though this seems less likely), on behavioural grounds alone, and a checkuser seems entirely justified.

 * The suggestion below that the Wikiedits1234567890 account was started in good faith as a replacement for the first is clearly not true, since Jm33746 has since made edits to the draft concerned. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

 * As Jm33756 has continued to edit the draft, I've blocked Wikiedits indefinitely and blocked Jm33746 for one week. It's fairly clear to me that Wikiedits is either a sock or a meatpuppet and is being used to evade scrutiny. I also note Special:Contributions/159.230.155.16 and Special:Contributions/184.170.66.132, although I'm not going to block them yet. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:07, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
