Suspected sockpuppets

These all piled up in the bot-reported section of WP:UAA over a couple of days, because they all have the string "official" in their username. None of them have made more than four edits and most of their edits have a promotional tone to them, but otherwise there is no pattern I can see; the subjects range from obvious corporate promotion to what looks like a father trying to encourage his daughter. The similarities are enough that I'm asking a CU to cast an eye over it, but the differences are enough that maybe they only look similar because a bot listed them all in the same place.

 * - You're not seeing a pattern here because these most likely are not socks. There must be hundreds of thousands of users with "official" in their name, it's very common. Sro23 (talk) 19:41, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Ya, I don't see evidence of socking here. Their edit patterns are all very different - some make article edits, some just make user pages, and so on. Some are promotional but they are promoting different things. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 14:06, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
