Suspected sockpuppets
This is some kind of gambling spam farm. All three accounts have an interest in promoting Satsport247 (link spamming by Raghav247 and overlap on Draft:Satsport247 by the other two accounts), two have an interest in exchmarket. Raghav247 and Kanhaiyakumarr have been link spamming as fake citations, with Raghav247 promoting Satsport247 and Kanhaiyakumarr promoting exchmarket.

The reason I suspect sock puppetry is twofold, The overlap on Draft:Satsport247 with one account creating it and another account submitting it, and the same use of the weird edit summary "it was a minor update" or variations thereof.

Requesting checkuser to see if there are any other accounts and to see if this is a known spam farm. 192.76.8.85 (talk) 19:29, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't spot them until after the report was filed, but and  have been spamming the same site with the same edit summaries and are obviously the same person. Added to the list above.
 * Too stale for checkuser, but is presumably the same person/company as Raghav247. 192.76.8.85 (talk) 20:02, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Comment: If I may add to the above information, I would just like to provide some specifics to what I noticed when I went through the profiles as well. I don’t think 192.76.8.85 will mind, although do let me know if you do.


 * Kanhaiyakumarr created Draft:Exchmarket on June 24, 2022. That user also started spamming the link to that website on multiple different articles.


 * Raghav247 started spamming the Satsports247 link on multiple articles, which may actually be an instance of COI, as the name provided when citing the source was Mehra Raghav.


 * Sanjaysinghaniaa also tried to add the Exchmarket link back in February, and as was noted earlier, it utilized the “It was a minor edit” summary pattern.


 * Koppulamaheswara added the same Exchmarket link one day after Sanjay did.

 * - most of these accounts are probably stale, but Sanjaysinghaniaa and Raghav247 are not and it seems reasonable to check if there are more of these spam accounts. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:16, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
