Suspected sockpuppets
On the page Kenneth Mejia, there appears to be something odd about how the page was written and transferred into the mainspace.

In this edit, the sockpuppet created a draft page for Kenneth Mejia. The sockpuppet had under one hundred edits at the time and had been on an editing hiatus.

The draft was subsequently copied-and-pasted into the mainspace by the sockmaster three days after the draft was submitted by the sockpuppet for review at AfC.

The time cards of the master and sockpuppet indicate that the two edit during the same hours, while an editor interaction analysis shows that the two make their edits in blocks such that they never edit at the exact same time (the closest edits were 32 minutes apart). Both accounts also appear to have been dormant for a long time, only to become active again within two days of each other in April 2022.

I believe that a checkuser to investigate sockpuppetry is warranted given the behavioral patterns, which indicate that there may be some coordination between the two accounts at play. — Mhawk10 (talk) 03:18, 29 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I understand that these things take time and there are sometimes behind-the-scenes chats for SPI, but I’m wondering: are there any updates? I think coordination is likely and given that it’s technically possible that they are the same person, we may want to notify them of this and ask them to explain how they encountered the article here. Drafts aren't exactly easy to find. — Mhawk10 (talk) 05:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * any thoughts? — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 02:16, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

 * but I would say coordination of some sort is more likely. -- Amanda (she/her)  12:32, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Clearly some sort of coordination in support of a political candidate, but there's lots of that, and I see enough differences to make me think socking is unlikely. Especially considering Amanda's evaluation, I left them both uw-agf-sock warnings and that seems like enough for now. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:55, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
