Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

This appears to be a UPE farm with sufficient evidence to show possible socking rather than UPE meat puppetry. There is similarity in user names, userpages, and of course page intersection. The master began with medical-related promotion adding links to articles like Medical billing for articles he intended to create later, e.g., RCM Matter (deleted). The first edit of Bradwinston01, the only blocked account in the list, was to Medical billing. He also created Draft:Impact Of Medical Coding On The Revenue Cycle, a ridiculously promotional page that, regardless of socking, should be deleted per WP:G11 (I'll take care of that sometime if no one else does). Note too the fact that many of these accounts have male names like Dave, Brad, Jason, and Kurt. Although Brad doesn't have a userpage, many of the others' are similar: "Hello Wikipedia I am here to help" (Jawwadimran05), "Hello Wikipedia I am professional Wikipedia expert" (Jasonmalan96), "Helping readers of Wikipedia" (Kurtgoodwin948). Then, there's the infamous Robert Rodriguez (writer and podcaster) that almost everyone has edited. David onway implies that he created the article, but it was Jawwadimran05 who created it.

My apologies, I just noticed Jawwadwiki as I was writing this and have added them to the list. Depending on the outcome, the case may have to be moved because they are months older than David onway. Both Jawwadwiki and David onway have deleted userpages that are very similar in style, although they claim to be different people. Essentially, they are advertisements for UPE.

I'm requesting a CU to hopefully sort out whether these are different people working in concert, e.g., the same employer, or whether they are socks, and also to look for others. Bbb23 (talk) 16:14, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
