This editor created an article Foundr after responding to an ad where they claimed to be an experienced editor. If they are an experienced editor and are creating a new user account to engage in undisclosed editing for pay in violation of the TOU, then that is an inappropriate use of a WP:SOCK.--v/r - T P 01:18, 7 July 2017 (UTC) v/r - T P 01:18, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Checkuser is suggested only for Neptune's Trident and Noam Javits. All other socks are too old for CU and are listed for behavioral evidence.
Taken together, this looks like Neptune's Trident is the experienced editor hired to write Foundr, who used a sockfarm of throwaway accounts to conceal paid edits. The edit histories overlap and share the editing style of rapid and mostly edit summary-free small edits. We know that the Noam Javits account was a promotional single-purpose account, and a checkuser could evaluate connections between Neptune's Trident and Noam Javits (and perhaps discover other socks). Neptune's Trident has previously been blocked for abusing multiple accounts: [22], and also has a talk page history of notices about pages tagged for deletion, with those notices rapidly reverted without reply: [23].

Checkuser note: The only thing of interest to me here is the evidence connecting Neptune's Trident and Noam Javits. The evidence is insufficient to run a check. Indeed, if it were my call, I'd close it without any action. However, because I've been badgered by the filer, I will let a clerk decide whether to endorse the CU or another CheckUser may run it without an endorsement if they wish. The filer is grasping at straws in their zeal to (1) find a master and (2) force a check of Noam Javits. Also, the closed SPI with Noam Javits listed as the master/sock of no one should not be moved here. There is no reason to do so. It should be archived.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:14, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

All seemingly undisclosed paid editors. There is a link to this sockfarm via Jeff Bussgang to which IronManX added a photo that they had uploaded: master IronmanX. NoMoreHate also edited that article and there is more crossover at Special:Undelete/Shafat_Qazi where NoMoreHate created the article and IronManX added a photo.

Noted two other accounts JobinJOBI & Peter Patrick with extremely similar subject matter edited, and nearly identical edit summaries to Samuel P Joy. Note especially all three were created in October and began editing within days/hours of each other. All three use the strikingly unusual phrase "reference for the same" [32] [33] [34] Request these be added to the CU investigation ☆ Bri ( talk) 20:30, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
I have nothing to do with the other accounts listed in this thread, which has now been confirmed below. Southoftheyarra ( talk) 20:35, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
Please check these additional accounts, too. Thanks very much GAB gab 18:57, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
