Just happened to notice this string of users at AIV, all of which were reported for triggering the same edit filter: "Common spam/scam phone numbers". It's possible all users share the same purpose of attempting promotion in userspace of the same party. Requesting CheckUser for connection as well as for any sleeper accounts.

 * I was wondering where to start. Thank you very much for the excellent idea of creating this SPI. You had added, I suspect that account is probably not as unrelated as you thought when removing it from the list again. The revision history of Bishop Johnson School and College and Maryam_Amid are connected via . Both revision histories share a strange list of single-purpose accounts, including blocked undisclosed paid editor , blocked spammer and blocked sockpuppeteer . The edit summaries contain interesting similarities: Editing "for" consistency, editing "for" clarify and style, editing "for" grammar. Compare BackFa and Hedgehog59804 for an obvious "WP:DUCK" result that doesn't even require technical evidence. Requesting technical evidence, however, is a good idea to untangle the larger mess. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much.
 * and already blocked, now tagged.
 * and do not seem to be behaviorally similar enough to justify a block under these circumstances.
 * The editing overlap of the unrelated accounts with live edits can perhaps be explained by the presence of copyedit in the affected articles. The spam catched by the filter is not similar enough to justify a sockpuppetry block.
