Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( originally filed under this user)

I recall seeing this abuse pattern somewhere - lots of maintenance and reference additions with spam - and this sockmaster comes to mind. MER-C 13:03, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I added - same username pattern, editing style, and timecard.  - to check for others; not entirely sure this is Yoodaba but if not it's probably some other UPE farm. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 15:29, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Much as in 11 May 2022, except that given the obvious username similarity, the types of proxies in use, and the geolocations, I'm more inclined to think this is a deliberate attempt at obfuscation using proxies. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:09, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've split this from WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Yoodaba as I'm not convinced these accounts are related to that case behaviourally. I do believe that Benny-T5252 and James-G369 are obvious UPE socks of each other, so - please indef both accounts. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 21:05, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Similar editing pattern to - additions of trivial content sourced to press releases on sports and gambling articles, e.g.,. Large overlap for accounts with few edits. Reinstated similar content here. Similar distinctive timecard and was created just a few hours after Keith161's initial block. Requesting CU as an additional data point because some aspects of the behaviour are different (Introessive seems to be reverting vandalism to pad out their edit count).

 * - per above. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 18:53, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Introessive is to several accounts associated with this case, but it's tenuous.  If you're looking for "Blockable if CU says something encouraging", I can't give that to you. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:03, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Behaviour is convincing., not closing yet because Keith161 is by far the oldest account and this should probably be moved and retagged – I'm on mobile, which makes that a little tedious, but I'll get to it tomorrow if nobody beats me to it. --Blablubbs (talk) 22:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Moved case, tagged socks, closing. Spicy (talk) 22:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
