Suspected sockpuppets
Not particularly nefarious, perhaps, but pretty ducky all the same. SPA user Levelingup2023 was trying to push through a spammy article Draft:Dan Eid, which eventually was rejected yesterday. So this morning new user Asfijasdifjasdi is registered, and straight off the bat resubmits the exact same content, at User:Asfijasdifjasdi/sandbox. What a coincidence. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Not sure about this one, if I'm honest. There was earlier socking on Draft:Dan Eid, a promo piece on a non-notable lawyer; this same content was later recreated in the old sock's sandbox. Today new account Gvatimes is registered, and straight away submits User:Gvatimes/sandbox also on Eid. I've declined it, and was going to leave it at that (after all, it has been several months since the earlier attempts, and the content is differently written), but I then noticed that the new draft cites a source, on a website called GvaTimes, written by Eid. (Otherwise that site seems pretty bogus to me, so I don't know if it's been created only for this purpose?) I'm now thinking it could be either a new sock or meat puppetry of some sort? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:33, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
