Suspected sockpuppets
I may be going out on a limb here, but something's not quite right...

Ttrdln is already blocked since 30 July, and Kpts13 as a suspected puppet (meat or sock) thereof; this connection was volunteered by the former on their UTP at User talk:Ttrdln. Ttrdln apparently also has an IRL connection, per the same UTP, to Kvitas. They were working on David Pentecost, which also has an IRL connection to Draft:Tatiana Stupak, as mentioned in both articles.

The Stupak draft has been started and abandoned (and G13'd) several times before, including by Kvitas in 2021. Kvitas also uploaded as their 'own work' the photo used in that draft, and have uploaded several other images related to these subjects.

Now a new Draft:Tatiana Stupak has been created, this time by newish SPA Aiaaua1 (which just happens to be the vowels in 'Tatiana Stupak', although that could be a pure coincidence of course). They say, in a note submitted as part of the draft (which I moved to the draft talk page), that they "have been asked to develop this article as a draft for the same Tatiana Stupak"; I've queried their COI, but they've not responded. I then noticed that something else Aiaaua1 said in that note, "this is my first attempt at creating an article from scratch", sounded similar to what Ttrdln was saying on their UTP, "I opened Kpts13 to enable me to create my very first article from scratch" and "I opened another account... for a friend who asked me to develop a Wikipedia article for her".

Stupak and Pentecost apparently both reside in Cyprus. There's also a tentative Lithuanian connection. Just mentioning in case those countries come up somehow.

So we know there are IRL connections. We have the two accounts already blocked. Whether there's anything more to this, let alone anything actionable, I don't know. (I think CU might be useful, though, but I don't know if this qualifies based on such sketchy evidence?) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:00, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

 * - Aiaaua1 might be a sockpuppet or, if we take their claims at User talk:Aiaaua1 at face value, they are Ttrdln/Kpts13's meatpuppet. Please, indef the account as suspected. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 00:50, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
