In this edit [1] MerrymilkMan1 discloses that they are Malcolm Collins, the subject of an article currently up for deletion.
In this reddit thread [2] (currently being discussed at AN) the reddit user Beach-Yoga posts several wikipedia UPE scam related emails sent to Malcolm Collins's email address, making it clear that the reddit account is the same person.
Here [3] The same reddit account complains that their draft Draft:Jobley Health was deleted as spam, that page was created by Mammach. In the comments of that thread they also seem to suggest that they also control the account Clinton1000.
Here [4] The same reddit account posts screenshots of multiple editors cleaning up harassment from IPv6 address 2607:FB91:888C:A62:AC39:D1F7:4DF2:DE59. In the title of the post they make it clear that they are the person doing the harassing.
This is clearly a case of good hand/bad hand sock puppetry. They're using one account to participate politely in the AFD and make out that they're the victim of an UPE scam, they're using other accounts to produce spam of their own, and they're logged out editing as an IPv6 to harass and bully people that have voted to delete their article.
Requesting checkuser to check for other accounts or to see if this is related to a known spam farm. 192.76.8.82 (talk) 21:45, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
