Clear gaming of the system to become autoconfirmed.

Seeming verbatim recreation of Draft:Angels Patronage Service as Angels (patronage service) while the former was awaiting review. File:Патронатна служба “Янголи”.jpg, which is used on both pages, was uploaded by a known Bodiadub sock, Чумний лікар (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).

This editor also copied Draft:Serhii Yuzvyk into mainspace as Serhii Yuzvik, after the former was extended and moved into mainspace by the Bodiadub sock Zlatko Pitić (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and subsequently draftified after they were discovered to be a Bodiadub sock. Additionally, the aforementioned sock Чумний лікар has uploaded photos related to Serhii Yuzvyk to Commons, see commons:Special:ListFiles/Чумний_лікар.

I am requesting CU to check for sleepers. The drafts have been created by IPs; it might be useful to also check them. The infobox image on Serhii Yuzvik was uploaded to Commons by Serhii Yuzvyk (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who doesn't have an account on enwiki.

Chauve8chasse8rat created Oleksiy Buriachenko which is word-for-word replication of G5'd Oleksii Buriachenko. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:24, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Colimtsy created Englishdom (online school), a near-copy of Englishdom (platform), which had been G5'd. When Englishdom (online school) was nominated for deletion, Moarnighar came in and said it was "keep", even though there were no comments in the AfD. Note also Moarnighar is pretty new, so it's odd to participate in an AfD. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:45, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked and nuked creations by Chauve8chasse8rat and Colimtsy. Moarnighar seems to have done some editing in the AfD area before closing this AfD and I can't find crossover between Moarnighar and the socks that would justify a check. I'll leave this open for another CU or clerk to review though. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I checked Moarninghar because the AfD close is very suspicious, as is their behaviour in general. There's no technical relationship to Bodiadub but that doesn't necessarily rule out a MEAT/UPE situation. Spicy (talk) 21:31, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

-Note that I think this is a firm of one or two people (consistent with Bbb23's results), but that the possibility does exist that this is the same person and there is more technical evidence tying the two groups than there was last time. I'm fine calling it the same sockfarm, however.

-My suspicion is that this is a marketing firm or a bunch of freelancers working together, but putting it all under one case going forward makes sense. All {{bwt}}. {{Clerk Request}} Would a clerk move to Bodiadub? As that is the apparent oldest account and this has xwiki implications. Don't worry about the tagging.

-:Thanks. Deleted everything I could under G5. I see that Bodiadub is blocked on the Russian Wikipedia for UPE, so this is likely a candidate for locking. [[User:MER-C|MER-C]] 10:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

-*Noting for future reference: based on evidence from uk.wiki CUs, the Crazyalien and Bodiadub do appear to be different people, but that they are working in concert is highly likely. I don't see a reason for us to have two different cases on this at en.wiki, and they all should be reported here.
