Suspected sockpuppets

Both accounts have engaged in undisclosed paid editing on behalf of a reputation management company named Percepto (formerly known as Veribo).

Please see WP:COIN § Potentially an undisclosed paid editor account for the initial report.

Requesting CheckUser to determine if Percepto/Veribo is using any other accounts for undisclosed paid editing. — Newslinger talk 07:39, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

I believe Cafetownsouthafrica is whitewashing Me to We articles (e.g. [14]) and related topics, with a few innocuous or unrelated edits to try to disguise the sockpuppetry. See the Signpost for further background on the paid editing around Me to We that this appears to be an instance of.

The fact that this is a sock/undisclosed PAID seems to be sufficiently obvious from behavioural evidence, but I rarely engage in SPI (this is possibly my first edit in the area) so of course a more skilled editor can determine if this is the case.

I notice that this is a bit of a sleeper account (first edits on 1 January 2020 and then the next edit, reworking an article into an advert, in July). May be other sleepers around, though not sure if anything can be done about this. — Bilorv (talk) 02:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
