All of this, this, this and all other contributions consist of tag-teaming with advertising articles, and the fact the first account named here is a now-banned spam account, suggests there's a connection here. Next, a few days had this which also shows close-calling and tag-teaming. To be quite honest, I'm not sure who is the original master or if there's multiple here, so CU is needed.

•  Clerk note: @Bbb23: Just wanted to make sure, the indef on Scorpion293 is for paid editing right? (Otherwise it looks a bit unusual to indef a user with thousands of contribs and a clean block log.) King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:09, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

• @King of Hearts: Paid editing, marking sock-created pages as reviewed in his capacity as a reviewer, blatantly lying at ANI (and so "reasonably" too).--Bbb23 (talk) 13:39, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello. User:NaturalSelection is a confirmed sock. Please refer to [1] and [2].

What we now have is "Draft:Mental Daily (blog)" and the following spam links:

• [3]
• [4]
• [5]
• [6]
• [7]

See also [8], the talkpages of the two users, and the creation date of ElCheche which matches the blocking date of NaturalSelection.

It would probably be a good idea to blacklist the website.

Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 08:20, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
