All of them claim to be librarians, and always tag their edit summaries with "#AfLibWk #1lib1ref". --Stay safe, ◊ PRAHLAD balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I don't think these users are sockpuppets. It looks like they are participants in an African Library Week editathon: see here. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 20:50, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Concur - there are about sixty accounts like this, all adding sources and making other tangential edits. This a a coordinated WMF sponsored event that is attempting to bring in new editors. Some are really good (like Agnes), others could use help and guidance in identifying reliable sources. Please be cautious in evaluating this; they may be sharing infrastructure.

 * How do I close this? --Stay safe, ◊ PRAHLAD balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:16, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Just let a clerk summarily close it. Don't worry, there's no harm done. --RexxS (talk) 01:18, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Not a case of sockpuppetry. The editors involved in the editathon (24–30 May 2020) can be checked at the outreach dashboard. It's in the nature of these initiatives that the editors involved will be librarians by definition, and will include the same hashtag in their edit summaries. Please close. --RexxS (talk) 01:19, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Closing without action per the above. Mz7 (talk) 23:15, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
