Suspected sockpuppets
The sockmaster and sockpuppet share quite similar editing interests and appear to have run into copyright violation issues with respect to the same source that was made available for use following the review of 2022080310001401.

The puppet has made edits to two articles: Strategic thinking and MECE principle. They have made five edits (as far as I can tell), but four were deleted as copyright violations. In particular, this edit and this edit added direct quotes to each of their articles from this website. The sockpuppet was blocked on August 3 for being a spam-only account.

Shortly after the sockpuppet was reverted and revision-deleted, the sockmaster began to insert content copied verbatim from the same website into Strategic thinking (1 2) and into the article on Futurist.

The series of edits indicates that the two accounts are connected through their pattern of quoting verbatim from the same extremely website and inserting it into articles within a relatively short timeframe. Since the sockpuppet appears to have been a throwaway account created for the puropse of spamming, I'm requesting checkuser to see if any throwaway sleepers exist. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 04:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * The CU data says somewhere between and .  The nature of the data made doing a sleeper check infeasible. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * has made some moves in the right direction, obtaining the required copyright clearances per our policies (see their talk page). There may still be issues with promotional editing and external links, but I'm going to WP:AGF for now and close this.  If there continue to be problems, please file a new report. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:49, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
