Recently created account which is focused on similar edits to same otherwise unrelated articles and topics.

As with prior accounts, this one uses a lot of essay-like pointless filler language which adds an AI-generated vibe to articles. (For example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Obesity&diff=1296943562&oldid=1295884334 this edit] looks superficially fine, but isn't actually saying anything of substance.)

Helping2248 is slightly less focused on adding excessive sources and slightly more focused on adding or fussing with short descriptions. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Association_football_culture&diff=1297015513&oldid=1295348584 These edits] to Association football culture removed a WP:SDNONE reminder for no obvious reason. Association football culture has also been edited by {{IPuser|87.21.155.180}} which was previously blocked as part of this farm.

Other overlapping articles include:

• Race and sexuality - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Race_and_sexuality&diff=prev&oldid=1275348901 FutureBuilder14 added a ref] and was reverted, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Race_and_sexuality&diff=1277129056&oldid=1276497859 87.17.158.221 later restored that ref] and was reverted by me, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Race_and_sexuality&diff=prev&oldid=1296984497 Helping2248] restored it again.
• William Levitt - Compare [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Levitt&diff=prev&oldid=1277291790 this] from 87.17.158.221 to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Levitt&diff=prev&oldid=1296439468 this] from Helping2248.
• Light triad has many edits from Helper2248, the IP, and FutureBuilder14. This version now includes more of the usual MOS:EDITORIALIZING
• Neoliberalism has edits by past sock Cryptic3179, multiple IPs associated with this farm, and Helping2248 ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neoliberalism&diff=1295396059&oldid=1295256053 these edits] removed a usable Google books like and replaces it with a publisher's shopping page, which was an issue with past socks).

There are also more behavioral clues, if necessary. Grayfell (talk) 19:23, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

• {{Requestandendorse}} - yep. And maybe it's worth considering a rangeblock while you're at it. -- asilvering (talk) 21:36, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
