Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

SPA master created 10 February, and made a single edit. On 19 Feb, within the space of 42 minutes gamed autoconfirm then created TextMine in a single precocious edit. Article has just been moved to Draft:TextMine.

SPA sock created 11 Feb. In the same hour as master on 19 February, the account gamed autoconfirm then created Charles Brecque, CEO of TextMine, again in a single precocious edit.

Five minutes after I queried the use of multiple accounts at master's user talk, was created, then six minutes after creation their first edit was to Charles Brecque.

Probably one of the usual subcontinental sock farms, and there's probably a much older master. Wikishovel (talk) 13:42, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

 * ✅ to each other, ish to above but Gilberto matches behaviourally:


 * Technically :
 * I didn't check Bincy Binz and they did not appear in my checks. Their (one, minor) edit is tagged as coming from the Newcomer tasks program, which directs new accounts to edit random articles with maintenance tags. I doubt they are related. Spicy (talk) 14:41, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Moved case to oldest confirmed account, and blocked TrushingK23 based on the behaviour and being an obvious UPE. There's a lot of spam to be cleaned up. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 15:11, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
