Suspected sockpuppets

Obvious account creation farming. Within the span of about an hour all 11 accounts registered, and made a single edit to their user page with their account name and naught else. Hazim Azam went the extra mile and also created a user talk page with the same content.

The same pattern of creation points to a single individual or coordination, it is not a typical new user page.

The account farming is reminiscent of Sockpuppet investigations/Shingling334, but Shingling334 usually creates a different user page and has different user name patterns. So filed under the oldest of the bunch here.

Checkuser requested to see what other accounts are in the farm.  Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 11:30, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Added ~24 more from the next hour. Surazal1 is a bit different in that they have a single August edit before this.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 13:06, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, following the account creation run (of 34 or so accounts at least, I left out a few suspects that used mildly different user pages), we see page edits that are very similar. Over at Aluu Four lynching we see Calebelo "Added a wikilink", Agarry Promise "deleted a space", Ebukalevi "added a citation needed tag". Also possible are (i link a word to an icon) and the much older  (Whose user page (via meta) is also a single word - the user name) with added citation needed tag. Other editors who made edits: Dessypress, Emmason ice, Dtishbite, Surazal1, Favygene, Fairblack, Chimmylove, ChiletamDivine, Marthiasaboh1, Viama5, Deborah Titus, Cynthywinky, Emewonder, Judelaw22, Jayree20, and Greybaiden all use similar edit summaries. "added a link" (exact text as well as minor permutations) and "added a citation needed tag" are repeated quite often between accounts. If previously this was highly suspect activity (creating large number of accounts), the concurrent activity on Aluu Four lynching violates the multiple account policy (which includes edits such as this that while stating they "Added a wikilink" - actually changed the text from Ikwerred to Obio... Note that Calebelo follows this on after a bit and changes Obio/ to Obio/Akpor, so there is a bit of misdirection going on even in these initial edits).-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 13:23, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * On Bayelsa State there is a smaller intersection, a pair of accounts, the similarly prefixed Emmason ice and Emewonder.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 13:35, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Closing without action. Based on their activity and some of their edit summaries, this appears to be a Nigerian editathon of some sort. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:07, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
