Strong signs of promotion on similar and unusual topics like Customer success and Aunt Bessies. Note introduction of same refspam link [1] [2] and coordinated promotion of a pork food brand [3] [4] ... ☆ Bri ( talk) 23:42, 14 June 2018 (UTC) reply

These accounts are on a digital marketing group's servers and appear to be meatpuppets or sockpuppets of each other:

• Mcmurtrk ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) has a matching UA to Karobbie ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• These three accounts match UAs:

• Haste1066 ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Oakes5445 ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Yonnyclt ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)

• This account in same range but doesn't match others' UAs exactly:
• Bravenewcloud ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)

Verigio22 appears unrelated technically.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation.

•  Awaiting administrative action - I agree with Berean that the following editors are sockpuppets or meatpuppets (and almost certainly UPEs): Mcmurtrk, Karobbie, Haste1066, Oakes5445, Yonnyclt, Bravenewcloud. The first two seem to have a somewhat different M.O. than the rest, but it's not enough to change my finding. Please indef those accounts.
• I'm guessing many other accounts are also currently stale, but this master seems to recycle old sleepers, so future reports under this case should have a sleeper check done by default. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:43, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

L235 - The listed sock puppets are  Done. I see that you're contemplating about the listed master - please let me know what you decide. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:47, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

• @ Oshwah: Thanks. Because of the intersection with Haste1066 on three articles (out of six total articles edited) and identical link additions, I also find that Verigio22 is connected notwithstanding the unrelated CU result. Please indef Verigio22 as well. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:50, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

L235 -  Done. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:51, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

• @ Oshwah: Looks like you missed Karobbie ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)? Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 18:07, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Oops! Sorry!  Done. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:10, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply
