Suspected sockpuppets

Cbbranin was registered yesterday and their first edit was to submit Draft:Ronny Hadani for a review and then they disclosed their connection with the subject on the article talk page which sounds like a planned strategy since WiktorLinus was told not to continue ending on behalf of someone who has a long history of undisclosed paid editing as per off-wiki evidence and I have shared those details with the paid-en team. Bitbit101 was registered only to remove their name from Articles for deletion/Submit Express a day after the master was caught editing on their behalf since they belong to a big sockfarm (they have completed over 70 Wikipedia related project as per their profile off-wiki) I'm requesting CU for technical relation and for sleepers.

Please also note that draft:Ronny Hadani was last created by user and WikitorLinus recreated this page a few weeks after it was deleted by  under G5. There is one source in the current version that uses accessdate from July, the same time when it was first created by MewSic. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 03:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)


 * They are likely connected to "MewSic" or each other? and can you please point out how similar is the deleted version of draft:Ronny Hadani to the current version? Thank you, GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 15:36, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

 * GSS - Each other. I also don't see similarities that stand out. Definitely not from a copypasta standpoint. :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:08, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I would definitely downgrade Bitbit101, but this does look more like a recruitment effort than sockpuppetry, but there is still the sock possibility with the other two. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 11:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This looks to me more like off-wiki recruiting than sockpuppetry. Since both Cbbranin and WiktorLinus have disclosed their paid status, I do not see any reason to block at this time. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:39, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
