Suspected sockpuppets
Z812483032 and their sock YiGuo-JinDouYun are already blocked. They had created SwitchBot, which G11'd earlier this month. Now newish user Ejajsheik23 has created a new (but different in content, per Jimfbleak) draft on the same topic, at Draft:SwitchBot, currently going through AfC.

Apart from that connection, compare the language and style of writing at 's user page with that on YiGuo-JinDouYun's before it was replaced with the sock template as well as on Z812483032's. Similarly, see this comment User_talk:Ingenuity by Z812483032, and compare against this Teahouse by Ejajsheik23. Seems to me like the same person.

Also, Ejajsheik23's edit history (created their user page, made the requisite ten edits, waited a month, and then created a fully-fledged article in one fell swoop) and knowledge of Wikipedia editing is not that of a new user with <50 edits, as also pointed out by in that Teahouse convo. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:55, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * After two weeks of radio silence, Draft:SwitchBot has just been edited (and resubmitted for AfC review), by, so I'm adding them here also, just in case some connection emerges. A newish account, mainly interested in companies, such as Draft:Timly Software AG and Draft:Book (company). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:20, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

 * The following are ✅:
 * "Owen104" is ❌ to the group above, however I believe they are part of a separate UPE operation hired to get the article published. They are ✅ to the following: All three accounts appear to be engaging in undisclosed paid editing and I plan to block them as such. firefly  ( t · c ) 18:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Carleyeta and VBujer are to each other. Proxy use. Otherwise CU has nothing to add. Tagged, closing. Spicy (talk) 00:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
