The master was a sleeper account (created April 2019) who "woke up" recently to. Looking at the age of the master account I feel they might have more accounts so, requesting CU to look into their sock-drawer. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 18:02, 27 February 2020 (UTC)


 * So this looks like an undisclosed paid sock farm as reported by user Krishna198842 . They are all gaming WP:ACPERM (first editing in sandbox and then copy-paste the article in main) also Flickrwashing on commons-wiki. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 02:56, 28 February 2020 (UTC)


 * And I guess another one we have a SPA who created Edafe Okporo after it was draftified by . GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 05:11, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

The second group looks like it could be Sockpuppet investigations/Vasu1206 if you look at the history of Richard Akuson. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:38, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Odsbee and Mather90 are (due to proxy use).
 * The following accounts are essentially (editing from the same apparent proxy):
 * Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 22:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * and (group 2) are ✅ to each other and (technically / to the above group due to proxy use by the above group). With non-CU goggles, I would guess they're different paid editing farms. Having evaluated the evidence, I'm going to block all of them; I'll keep this open for a bit because I suspect I'll find a bit more within a couple days. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 19:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Among group 1, Tegrat1042 was first blocked on 13:50, 9 January 2020 by, so any pages created after that qualify for G5. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 19:10, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Although Odsbee is technically distinct from the others, pursuant to MEAT (particularly, A new user who engages in the same behavior as another user in the same context, and who appears to be editing Wikipedia solely for that purpose, may be subject to the remedies applied to the user whose behavior they are joining.), I am blocking Odsbee at this time. Please tag/process the remaining accounts as appropriate. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 19:36, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * tagged. please let me know if I missed anything. -- The SandDoctor  Talk 21:19, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The Odsbee account isn't technically CU-confirmed to anything; could you ensure that the oldest account of group 1 is tagged as confirmed master and Odsbee is tagged as suspected master? Best, Kevin ( alt of L235 · t · c) 06:01, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Jawaddmp is the eldest in that group. Group 1 all transferred to them & Odsbee tagged as a lone suspected master. All good now? -- The SandDoctor Talk 06:12, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Tagged group 2 (independently/as its own thing) with Ndokl4 as the listed (CU confirmed) master and Dukelokpo its lone sock. -- The SandDoctor Talk 06:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Per WP:DUCK, behavior "first editing in sandbox and then copy-paste the article in main" matches. So does the exact article edited by one of the CU confirmed socks (Profile Systems and Software). ☆ Bri (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌. Behaviorally, this seems like the scammed client of a paid editing firm, not the firm itself. Closing without action. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 01:51, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
