This user submitted Draft:Impact of COVID-19 in Soshanguve, an oddly formatted draft on a rather specific topic (COVID-19's impact on a particular South African township) that immediately made me think of Draft:The Impact of COVID-19 in Tembisa(South Africa), a similar draft created by and their newer account (WP:SOCKLEGIT after a username block). If there isn't a direct connection between the two (three?), then it certainly seems like they might be coordinated in some way. Nathan2055talk - contribs 21:41, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * And now another one: created Draft:Impact of COVID-19 in Dan Village. Same extremely specific topic and writing style. Really odd. Nathan2055talk - contribs 19:59, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * CU isn't that conclusive here. Except that KnowledgeGroupAss is ✅ to, they are all to each other because they edit from the same general location. It is quite odd; maybe they're affiliated with some kind of organization or program that's having them edit Wikipedia? Mz7 (talk) 05:34, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * There's a bunch of these. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:01, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at the comments on the various drafts, the general opinion seems to be that this is some kind of class assignment, and that's certainly my impression as well. Closing for now.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:18, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * PS:, I see you blocked KnowledgeGroupAss for a username violation. I'm guessing it's the Ass that offended you?  Have you considered that it might be short for Assignment, which would certainly fit in with the going theory.  -- RoySmith (talk) 19:05, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , no, the reason for my block was a presumption of shared use. The word "group" and their use of "we" led me to that conclusion. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  22:34, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , OK, no problem. I was just curious :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 22:42, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
