Came across Ssabathsloane and SloaneSabath16 in the Stale userspace drafts category while looking at stale NHL userspace drafts. Ssabathsloane edits are only about Hank J. Ratner in userspace between January 24-26th 2016. After their last edit on January 24, 2016 13:14, Sloanesabath has their first edit on January 26th 2016 21:38 with making Hank J. Ratner in mainspace. The last edit of Ssabathsloane in userspace and first edit of Sloanesabath in mainspace are identical in the personal life, business and philanthropy sections. After Sloanesabath makes Hank J. Ratner in mainspace in 21:38, January 26, 2016‎, SloaneSabath16 requests a G7 of Hank J. Ratner at 22:41, February 29, 2016 despite not being the user who published this article in mainspace.

Looking at SloaneSabath16's contributions, their oldest edits I can find are userspace edits about Hank J. Ratner in February 28, 2016 before they requested a G7 at Hank J. Ratner. SloaneSabath16's userspace draft on Hank J. Ratner has lots of similarities with the first edit of the mainspace version apart from the reference numbers. See Earwig for those results. This edit also suggests they submitted Draft:Hank J. Ratner but I can't verify.

While this might look like a SPA, SloaneSabath16 has edited other articles outside of Hank J. Ratner, including Epix, Josh Sapan, American Well and Tom Rogers (executive). Hank J, Ratner is the only common article between these three articles. Finally, the latest edits by SloaneSabath16 were on January 14, 2021. Based on the recent activity of SloaneSabath16 and the connection between these three accounts with Hank J. Ratner, I'd like to request CU to determine if theres any sleeper socks. If you need anymore details, please let me know. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:16, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 * All if the accounts (except for one) are too for checkuser to be run. This will need a behavioral analysis...  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   03:02, 27 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah, almost certainly the same person, but doesn't look like they did anything in violation of WP:ILLEGIT. Looks like the three accounts were used sequentially.  Maybe they kept forgetting their password?  In any case, hunting for 4 year old socks doesn't seem like it's worth investing much effort.  Closing with no action taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:23, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
