Similar, nearly identical user pages created - first by Caramsey, then by Sheed. Both also made one edit to a biography ( Caramsey & Sheed).
Not too sure what's up with this, but the user pages raised an eyebrow. Schrödinger's jellyfish ✉ 00:52, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
More. Similar weirdness. Looks like a bot is at work. Similar user pages that evolve through time. There are more in the edit filter log 499

Might want a checkuser to sort this. -- Deepfriedokra ( talk) 17:37, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'm hoping someone recognizes this pattern and knows the actual sockmaster. I doubt caramsey is the first.

- On second thought, and this may be a little out there - is this the chance this is something at a university that isn't affiliated with WikiEd? Multiple user pages reference being a student, and they all seem to be following some assignment format with varying grammar, edit summaries, and fun facts with references.

- Sorry to give you the notification about a reply. Is it possible to just have this closed (if a passing clerk sees this) as I'm pretty sure 1. this was just a university class that may not have been aware of WikiEd and 2. everything, if this was something sinister, is now stale? I don't want to clog up SPI when there's already a backlog. Jellyfish (mobile) ( talk) 14:57, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
