Recently I came across Draft:Grand Hotel Imperial when reviewing new articles and noticed that the article — which was created by a brand-new editor — was an exact translation of an article on the de.Wiki. Looking into this further, I found the de.wiki article was created and edited by Luuuuuka, an editor I have had a previous interaction with after they were paid (which they initially failed to disclose) to copy their client's articles from the German Wiki onto the English Wiki. However, it seems Luuuuuka was recently banned by the de community for sockpuppetry, and so I suspect they may be resorting to socking here on the English Wikipedia. Requesting checkuser, and I will note for the check that the company Luuuuka was affiliated with edits from the Baden-Munich region in Southern Germany. SamHolt6 ( talk) 22:25, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

This will have to be done behaviorally, by listening to the quacking. This account has submitted, as a draft, the same biography of DJ Katch as has been cut down to a redirect more than once. See the history of the redirect at DJ Katch, which shows that the redirect was expanded to an article by paid editors later blocked as sockpuppets.
This submitter is a new account who, unlike previous socks, has made the declaration of paid editing, but is still a paid editor. The CheckUser data is stale, but this is from the same duck pond. Robert McClenon ( talk) 14:55, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
