The alleged sock master is an SPA interested only in the creation of man article in their other name, Emunah La-Paz, and who has taken grave offence at its being nominated at AfD.

The two alleged puppets are One of the two alleged piuppets is a very recent SPAs. Yaa has a full copy in their sandbox of a version of the La-Paz article whcih looks ready to roll to seek to game the system, created today. KMc has made a single, now reverted, edit to the main article.

The master has employed at least one paid editor to advertise herself on Wikipedia, and has uploaded files to Commons (now deleted) and to Wikipedia, all of which have questionable copyright attribution.

I think there is sufficient quacking that the master and Yaa are likely definite matches. I am unsure about KMc, so I am requesting CU, whcih I recognise is at your discretion.

Because the deletion and surrounding discussions have included accusations of racism I am choosing not to add fuel to that fire by notifying the editors concerned Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 12:51, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

 * This diff] almost removes the need for CU!. Rarely have I heard quacking so loud. Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 17:16, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I think the blocking of two of the main characters may give rise to new puppets. I believe this should reinforce the need for CU Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 18:40, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Jack Frost, @Justlettersandnumbers, while not necessarily relevant to the SPI, the paid reviews on the references with Kirkus in the article suggest that the creating editor is not averse to paying USD425 per review for certainly two reviews. This whole article and the brouhaha surrounding it has been an ordure show Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 20:55, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
