Suspected sockpuppets

The alleged master has been promoting a software called Vecteezy for years, and made a similar edit to the same page as the alleged sock:. The alleged master also created Vecteezy Editor, while the alleged sock created an article on the same product. Both have edited/created articles on tech entrepreneurs:. There's also a really strange shared interest in Bowling Green, Kentucky, particularly the mayor:. The connection is blatant, but I suspect that there are other accounts involved, due to the abnormal account ages and editing lapses. Thanks, GABgab 03:53, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * - Endorsing my own request. Thanks again, GABgab 03:53, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Good eye, ✅. Not a lot of data to look at, and given the timescale, that I can't find any other accounts makes sense, but that's no reason to believe there aren't any. Courcelles (talk) 22:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)


 * - Thanks again for the check; please block those accounts. Sock indef, master for however long you see fit. Best, GABgab 00:33, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Both blocked indef, seeing as accounts were solely to promote their product. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:50, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
An SPA whose only edits were the promotion of Vecteezy  and the recreation of a very promotional Vecteezy article. Evidence for sock block based on same pattern as found in Sockpuppet investigations/WikiAddict81/Archive. — Cactus Writer (talk) 14:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
