The main account was blocked for promotion of an educational institute on WP. It seems like they came back with another account. Störm  (talk)  06:17, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

 * was created 04/07/2019 06:02. First edit made at 06:06 to National University of Technology. Furious series of edits to that page the same day, then goes quiet. Re-emerges on 04/08/2019 to create userpage where user states they are the Director of IT at the institution; then goes back to editing National University of Technology.
 * was created 05/08/2019 05:12. First edit made at 09:59 to National University of Technology, which they continue to edit until 09/08/2019, when they stop editing for some reason.
 * blocked 23/08/2019 16:41 by for ongoing promotional editing.
 * National University of Technology Semi-protected for 48 hours by 29/08/2019 14:32 due to "Persistent disruptive editing".
 * blocked 30/08/2019 16:41 by for sockpuppetry (of ).


 * was created 23/02/2020 at 19:38. First edit made at 19:48 to National University of Technology, where they have continued editing since.

Overall, the pattern is:


 * All three accounts have  only  edited National University of Technology or about National University of Technology.


 * The edits of all three accounts appear heavily promotional of National University of Technology.


 * All three accounts have similar competence in English.


 * Humcom is the first of the accounts to use (non-automated) edit summaries; although with a 50:50 strike rate, at best.


 * It is acknowledged that there are no exact matches in edits, however the impression when the overall pattern is reviewed is uncanny.

In summary; none of the three users appear to be here to do anything other than promote National University of Technology. It looks like a duck to me --Jack Frost (talk) 09:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Master is so I'm moving this to the open queue for a behavioural investigation. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:41, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * ,  I'd indef Humcom.  It seems almost certain to be a sock, or at least meat, and if not one of those, then certainly NOTHERE.  It bothers me a little that the timecards for Nutechdirit and ADITNutech look a lot more like each other than they do to Humcom, but there just may not be enough data points for that to be significant. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:29, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
