AmirahBreen

Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

AmirahBreen was on blocked December 19th and some of their articles were moved to draft. Osy2nb, a brand new account (27th), is submitting them to AfC. See Draft:Council of Presidential Candidates in Somalia and Draft:Djibouti Agreement. S0091 (talk) 23:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given the conversation on my talk page where Osy2nb does offer an explanation, requesting CU for confirmation either way. S0091 (talk) 00:14, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I see no reason why these articles should not be submitted to AfC. If the subjects appear notable to me and the articles ready for publication, please tell me if there is any reason why I should not submit them? Osy2nb (talk) 00:09, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Osy2nb:, Undisclosed paid editors which AmirahBreen was proved to be, deploy many tactics. You very well may be a good faith editor that just happen to locate these drafts per your explanation. I still find that unlikely (sorry, but I do) but it is possible. You stated you had edited here before. Do you happen to recall your previous account? That would be helpful.

No, I don't remember the username. As I said on your talk page, it is because the elections are coming up in Somalia. I have joined the Somali project and looked areas which can be improved upon. Drafts which are near ready for publication are one of those areas. Osy2nb (talk) 00:29, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have looked at AmirahBreen's user page and can see that they have been blocked for paid editing, but I can't see anything promotional about the drafts that I have submitted to AfC.Osy2nb (talk) 00:35, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Osy2nb: thanks again for engaging. The SPI team will review this and make a determination either way and my hope is that I am wrong. We do need more editors for underrepresented subjects. S0091 (talk) 00:53, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thank you. Is it ok for me to continue editing while the SPI team are looking into this? As I said there are elections coming up and I would like to get any drafts that are ready published, but if you prefer I can look for some other things that need doing on the project. Osy2nb (talk) 00:56, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Osy2nb: you are not under any restrictions but I do recommend to staying away from any drafts or articles created by AmirahBreen until this gets rectified.S0091 (talk) 01:08, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll do that. Osy2nb (talk) 01:10, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AmirahBreen was blocked on December 20, 2021; this account was created on December 30, 2021, and hit the ground running, installing some scripts (as the master had done), creating a talk page header, and editing in the same topic areas, especially Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed. I've blocked the user per WP:DUCK, but it would be good to check for additional accounts. OhNoitsJamie Talk 03:00, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
