Suspected sockpuppets
There's certainly something odd happening here.

The three accounts are SPAs dedicated to Draft:Christian Craighead MBE CGC and his apparent partner, "Tobi-Jayne Cadbury," with a particular dedicated to keeping the Tobi-Jayne's name on the Cadbury family article. The accounts all frequent the mobile web editor, occasionally switching to and fro the source and visual editor. The two sockpuppets were created six minutes apart. I'm confident about the sockpuppets being related, but requesting CU to ensure the master is in the same group too. DatGuyTalkContribs 09:01, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello - This is an ongoing issue. The account MikeWoodall7553 & Williamdouglass7553 have been blocked by Wikipedia as they (both accounts are ran by the same female) are harassing Tobi-Jayne Cadbury, a descendant of the family. I have been re-instating her and her husbands details, as has Tk4y06 & IgDom. We request this investigation is closed as it isn't at all malicious as we have been the ones trying to stop the harassment, and have even been emailing Wikipedia and asking for assistance.

Thank you.

 * I haven't looked closely yet, but this case should be compared to Sockpuppet investigations/Mikewoodall7553. MarioGom (talk) 16:52, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Going purely on the technical data, I'd say that and  are  to one another, and to the accounts in the MikeWoodall7553 case.  looks different - I'd say technically ❌, but I obviously can't rule out WP:MEAT.   Girth Summit  (blether)  17:09, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That's interesting. If I had to make a wild guess I'd say this is some posh drama between people who know each other. Possibly UPE and one for WP:COIN. Despite the inconclusive CU results I'm tempted to block all the accounts in this case, but curious for a second opinion by anyone who's come across this.

 * Listing these two accounts just to make analysis easier -- RoySmith (talk) 00:58, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There's obviously something going on here. Socks?  Competing UPEs?  Or as  suggests, just two people who know each other?  Any of those is possible.  The accounts are not doing any editing right now, so there's no rush to block anybody.  I've put ECP on Cadbury family and let's just let it go for now.  Either they will all just go away, or they'll start editing again, in which case we'll (hopefully) be in a better position to figure this out. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:13, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
