A couple of months ago Nuvocoseo created a promo piece Draft:Nuvoco Vistas Private Limited, and got blocked for it. Now a new SPA Marrygoldbiscuit has resubmitted it. (There was also an interim edit by IP 103.56.42.235, so I'll include them here FWIW.) I'd say that looks a likely straightforward connection between those two users.

There's then some earlier activity at Draft:Nuvoco Vistas, which seems to have been first (?) created 2-3 years ago by Leolamite, who seems to be a sock of Weareme234. It has also been later created by Hemphly, apparently a sock of SarahBill1, as well as quite recently by Krakjackbiscuit.

Nuvoco Vistas was also created last year directly in the main article space, and G5'd, but I can't see who created it.

I don't know who the ultimate master is, or if there are more than one group involved. I'm therefore filing this under Nuvocoseo, because that's the one I'm reasonably sure about, and listing the two non-blocked users Marrygoldbiscuit and Krakjackbiscuit (note the 'biscuit' in both, obvs) and the IP as socks. If this should have been filed under a different name, I trust someone will move it. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:03, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Administrator note Nuvoco Vistas was created by Yvonnwe which is blocked as part of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SarahBill1. Oh, and their version of the draft is almost identical to Hemphly's version of Draft:Nuvoco Vistas. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Nuvocoseo, Marrygoldbiscuit and Krakjackbiscuit are all  Likely to each other.  No sleepers immediately visible. There's not much data available for SarahBill1 but from what I can tell they're technically  Unrelated and the behaviour is different as well. Probably different UPE farms taking on the same job. I will block and tag the biscuits.  No comment with respect to IP address(es). Spicy (talk) 12:16, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
