Suspected sockpuppets
All have been pushing a link, mapacademy.io, over the past few days. Examples:, , I've requested a blacklist entry for the link, but I'm bringing this here as well because some accounts have written some highly promotional articles as well, such as this or this - this looks like an undisclosed paid editing farm to me. Please check for sleepers / other promo accounts who haven't yet pushed the link. MrOllie (talk) 12:23, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * I've taken a look at these. Some of them are operating out of the same IPv6 /32 range, but it is an incredibly busy range, which limits what CU can tell me. They might be the same person, or they might be multiple people using the same ISP, or on the same network. Other accounts are operating on different ranges. I note the comment left by at the blacklist request however - here - admitting that they are employees of the organisation, attempting to add links to their site. I'm going to give that user some advice about undeclared paid editing at this stage, but if they continue adding these links I would suggest that the accounts be blocked.

 * I'll add that, on the face of it at least, the site they're linking to does appear to be legitimate. I'm not saying that it's OK for employees of that organisation to be running around here adding links to it without declaring their status, or for them to essentially engage in organised WP:MEATPUPPETRY, but it might potentially be a useful external link in some articles.

 * I'm going to WP:AGF and close this with no action.  my suggestion is to take a look at GLAM and perhaps GLAM/Wikipedian in Residence to learn how you can do what you're trying to do in a way that complies with our policies. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:34, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
