Suspected sockpuppets

Two people (who might be UPEs anyways) that are making very similar edits. They are both editing on the same page, and both appear to be trying to promote that company. For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sea_Shepherd_Conservation_Society&oldid=1038493666 and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sea_Shepherd_Conservation_Society&oldid=1039266225 say almost exactly the same thing. Continuing on from there, these two users start changing the wording in various sections of that article.  ProClasher 9 7  ~  Have A Question?  18:48, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

NOTE: Smitcd1 is the accused sockmaster, NOT Smithcd1. Any admin (or someone who knows how to change it) could change it if it makes it less confusing. Sorry about the mix up (I already moved it to the correct page title BTW).  ProClasher 9 7  ~  Have A Question?  19:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I've blocked User:SSCSUS as a corpname/spamname. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:56, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Report fixed. Looking at the diff pair from the filing makes it clear that this is either socking or closely coordinated meatpuppetry, and given that it's all blatant spam either way, the difference doesn't really matter.  – please block  indefinitely. Thanks. --Blablubbs (talk) 20:55, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
