There are some older OTRS-Tickets and a recent one, all complaining about identical activities (unsolicited offer to edit articles in return for payment) of the same real person. That person has been identified as user:Ventus55 and has been blocked in english and german wikipedia for sockpuppetry and undeclared paid editing. In the current ticket of February 2020 there are references to an article that User:Phänotyp has worked on intensively, with the same pattern as Ventus55 did formerly. Both users' profiles show a high percentage of edits in articles about scientists and university professors. In each case, the editing included the creation or a considerable expansion of the articles. This is also consistent with the issues raised in the tickets. Due to OTRS policies, I cannot publish the text of the mails or give any names. However, for OTRS agents I can provide some ticket numbers:
