Rubykane is a suspected paid editor that was blocked about a month ago. Katesani has been editing the same particular set of articles including Calocurb/Draft:Calocurb/Draft:Calocurb™, Bartercard, and Keith Hay. Since all of these articles have a history of suspected undeclared paid editing from other years-older accounts, I wouldn't be surprised if a checkuser turns up other accounts. Whatever PR outfit this is appears to have been operating on Wikipedia for many years. Peacock (talk) 20:40, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I just noticed this edit, where Rubykane appears to be claiming to be "Digital Marketing Consultant @ Pure SEO". Peacock (talk) 20:43, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

As with the prior socks, both of these editors have a singular interest in promoting a product called Calocurb. See Draft:Calocurb. Peacock (talk) 16:00, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

As with the prior socks, this editor has a singular interest in promoting a product called Calocurb and is just spamming links to calocurb.co.nz. Although the socking/block evasion is obvious per WP:DUCK, previous checkuser investigations turned up sleeper socks, so it's probably worthwhile to check this time too.
