Suspected sockpuppets
Mayashamcdonald8818 is a paid editor for the Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art. They had problems with copyvio before (cc ) and was blocked and then unblocked. Shortly after the first copyright block, they registered Arthistorian411, which ended up blocked for copyvio and sockpuppetry. Minutes after posting that I do not believe that giving a full list of institutions that are participating in the Monuments Men and Women Museum Network is promotional, they signed up with Arthistoryandworldhistory, whose edits on A. G. Mehta and Draft:Maya Asha McDonald are definitely promotional and connected to the former accounts. Note that I do not believe the story of the "assistant" (edit summary styles suggest that a single person has used the 3 accounts), but even if it was true, it's illegit meatpuppetry.

 * Yeah - that timeline checks out, and the editing pattern is obvious. Whether it's sock or meat, paid editors don't get to create multiple accounts to continue writing about topics related to their employer. Blocking.  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:44, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
