Edits to the draft Draft:DivaDance Company. The suspected sockmaster creates the article DivaDance Company and moves it out of their userspace (diff) 4 November 2018‎. The suspected sockmaster is then blocked due to WP:PAID non-disclosure and other spam related issues 8 January 2019 (log). It is then moved to draft space (diff) by 8 January 2019‎. The suspected sockpuppet creates their account 21 February 2019 which is 15 days after the last unblock request was declined (declining diff 6 February 2019). The account created at 23:41 makes its first edit only one minute later at 23:42 (diff) and precedes to make its only edits to a content page (i.e excluding the two talk page edits). This is strange as the draft is not linked well and has almost no pageviews (pretty much 1 every 5 days or so recently), so it seems strange that a very new editor would make their first (and pretty much only) edits to this draft.

Both accounts sometimes use full stops in their edit summaries, but not always (see history of draft for a selection of edit summaries by both accounts). Both accounts are also editing promotionally. For example Travisduhart writes for example as well as feel comfortable in their skin (diff) and Wizenthorne writes for example It features original choreography set to trendy music and dance videos. (diff) and it has been featured in many magazines and news outlets. (diff). Requesting check user to see if accounts are technically connected, however, suspected sockpuppet uses mobile so it may be less useful.

The alleged master is. CU declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:37, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Both accounts are stale. If the alleged sock starts editing again, feel free to re-report. Closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:42, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Puppeteer already blocked as WP:UPE. Socks only edits to puppet's unaccepted draft, Draft:DivaDance Company. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:38, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
