Suspected sockpuppets

Probably block evasion. I've been cleaning up Jimmie Lee (comedian) since last Sunday, removing promotional language and unsourced claims from an article creator with an evident WP:COI. I've warned this editor up to level 3 at their talk page about this. One repeated behavior by puppeteer is re-addition of an unsourced, promotionally "Early Life" section: [1], [2], [3]. Another is re-addition of unsourced claims about where he's performed: [4]. Another is removing the word "part-time" from the intro, despite multiple sources affirming that he's a full-time dentist and a part-time entertainer: [5]. Sock Johnkarver's first edit on creation of account was to remove the word "part-time": [6]. Nine minutes later, sock re-adds the identical (unsourced) wording from the removed "Early Life" section to an existing section: [7]. Sock then re-adds the unsourced claims about performances, with identical wording to that used by puppeteer: "pro comic", "all over the country", etc. [8].

I enquired at puppeteer's talk page about the second account, and the response was to admit meatpuppetry, but not sockpuppetry: [9]. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 17:00, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recreating Jimmie Lee (comedian) a week after it was deleted at AfD. The created version includes all of of the disputed content and phrasings mentioned in the previous SPI report. McGeddon (talk) 17:03, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
