Paolo.marraffa created an autobiography, which is his only purpose here. Eleonoracacia98 is an WP:SPA editing that same autobiography and admits a CoI on the draft. After I declined the draft, Eleonoracacia98 unsigned, in broken English asking me to review again. Thirty minutes later, Paolo with the same subject, also unsigned, also in broken English with the same request. Unless these are two separate editors coordinating closely to push a CoI autobiography, it's likely just Paolo using multiple accounts for self-promotion. An IP editor just submitted the draft for another review, so if this is indeed socking the IP should be blocked, too. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 16:39, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Eleonoracia says but that doesn't make sense because there's nothing about claimed girlfriend Elenora; the draft is only about Paolo, and he can't keep track of which account is logged-in.  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:31, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I, for one, appreciate that the accused sockmaster went to the effort of denying using sockpuppets on the suspected sock's talk page. creffett (talk) 17:31, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Based on showing that they can't even keep the logins straight, I don't think a CU is necessary. Behavior alone does the trick. Combined with the sock's userpage having literally nothing but a COI and declaration that they're the "girlfriend", instead of ya know, having some of their own userboxes or the like,   CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 21:42, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm not really sure what this person (people?) are trying to accomplish, but there's clearly at least meat puppetry going on here. Both accounts blocked for promotional/Not here/evading scrutiny reasons, and the draft has been deleted. Moneytrees🌴Talk🌲Help out at CCI! 23:00, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
