– A checkuser has completed a check on relevant users in this case, and it is now awaiting administration and close.

The suspected sock was created a month after the main account was blocked. They recreated Jennifer Olachi Uchendu as Jennifer Uchendu, but this was later reverted by Deb. This suggests possible undisclosed paid editing, a common practice involving multiple accounts. Requesting a cu to uncover any related accounts and technical matches.

Comments by other users[edit]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

I'd also look at User:Mary Duker, who made a promotional edit on the SustyVibes page. Deb (talk) 07:39, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments[edit]

Another set of spammy accounts on spammy ranges, but no matches for any of the three accounts (well, Mary Duker is stale) with any other accounts. Perhaps Dreamy Jazz saw something I didn't see--there sure is a lot to see. Drmies (talk) 22:11, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was looking for a case where I could test out a security patch that I applied to the CheckUser interface, so I chose a case that seemed to be valid for checkuser. I didn't see anything immediately obvious, so didn't continue to investigate the data. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 13:58, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to get this out of the CU queue, I'll say that these two look technically Unrelated but that doesn't rule out the possibility of UPE meatpuppetry. Spicy (talk) 20:36, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
