All of these spammers have identical behavior. Are there any more? MER-C 10:52, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• CU data doesn't shed much light, there is a lot of proxy use going on. However, this is also them:

• SarahBill1 is the oldest account, and is  Confirmed to Sihloutyy,. Gpket888 is  Confirmed to Sellqaa. Other than that, all I can say is that they look identical to each other, but are operating out of a wide variety of globally distributed IP ranges. I'll let someone else decide whether/how to tag, but will block SarahBill1. Girth Summit _(blether) 14:19, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Moved case to oldest, tagged socks, closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 14:33, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Likely to be simple block evasion. Only here to edit Draft:Harvee Pene. SPI because of apparent intent. CU only in case there are sleepers. I recognise that no comment will be made about the IP address. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:01, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

•  Clerk declined - CheckUser evidence cannot be used to connect a registered account to an IP. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:16, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• The IP is now blocked as a proxy.  Clerk assistance requested: please merge to WP:Sockpuppet investigations/SarahBill1 and close. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:11, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
•  Done, closing. GAB^gab 23:07, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of Draft:Kalshi, last created by blocked sock User:Kallyana and then deleted as a G5. Between this and the promotional draft at Draft:Kimia Arya, seems likely this is the same paid editor / sockmaster. MrOllie (talk) 12:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

•  In progress - -- RoySmith (talk) 14:45, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• There's very little old data, but what there is suggests  Unrelated, although  Inconclusive due to proxy use is also a possibility.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation -- RoySmith (talk) 14:53, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Doesn't match behaviorally. Probably a different spammer. MER-C 18:36, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• I'm going to close this with no action from a socking perspective. This shouldn't prevent anyone from blocking for UPE if they feel that would be appropriate. Closing. Spicy (talk) 05:09, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Block evasion. Created a single article from draft in Nov-Dec 2017, then went to sleep for five years. Returned today to re-create, in a single edit, blatant spam CausaLens (for which sock User:Wuuquty was blocked in April). Storchy (talk) 17:03, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Not the right behavior. Blocked for spamming, though. MER-C 09:10, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The user is involved in Draft:Roland Krueger (special:diff/1228083720) and simple:Roland Krueger. This is similar to User:Jeenran, who also made Roland Krueger and suspected to be user:SarahBill1. MathXplore (talk) 12:59, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Different behavior, somewhat different content. May still be worth blocking for spamming. MER-C 17:43, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• See also d:Q126485623. I note that this user has declared a COI on their user page. Although this is clearly a recreation of a deleted item, it does seem that the subject may be notable, being the CEO of a major corporation. Bovlb (talk) 19:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
•  Closing without action Only one live edit and a declared COI, I'm not seeing enough to warrant a block. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 22:07, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
