Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

On Wilma Archer, Ottosherman (talk · contribs) removed "electronic music" from infobox, added "Amber Mark" and "MF DOOM" to infobox, and changed "'Like a Hunger'" to "'Like a Hunger' featuring Amber Mark" at career section. FrancisTheHelping (talk · contribs) and 82.163.118.98 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) keep doing the same thing on the same article. Compare diff 1, diff 2, diff 3, and diff 4. 118.8.31.231 (talk) 16:42, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm going to go ahead and close this without action. Based on behavior, I think it's possible that the two accounts are related, but since the article has now been semi-protected until September, and the two accounts appear to be abandoned, I don't think further time spent on this case will be worthwhile.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

They are back again. Wilma Archer was created by Rubix1234. After Rubix1234's edit was reverted by another user, Ottosherman restored Rubix1234's edit (diff 1 and diff 2). Similarly, after Frankiegrimes' edit was reverted by another user, Ottosherman restored Frankiegrimes' edit, putting "Co-writing and production" at the top of the discography section, which is very unusual (diff 3 and diff 4). Furthermore, after Ottosherman's edit was reverted by another user, FrancisHelping and 82.163.118.98 restored Ottosherman's edit (diff 5, diff 6, diff 7, and diff 8). Recently, FrancisTheHelping declared a conflict of interest (diff 9). As FrancisTheHelping's edit request was accepted, the current revision of the article has some COI problems now. The previous SPI case was closed without action as "the two accounts appear to be abandoned," but they have sometimes revived old accounts and presented them as different users. I think they misuse a clean start by switching accounts or concealing a clean start in a way that avoids scrutiny. 114.167.21.135 (talk) 04:16, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ok I know this is an archive. So the COI edit request I accepted in full had some problems? Nothing in the request seems to be promo, but just verifiable information. I don't know what problems there were. {{replyto}} Can I Log In's (talk) page 23:38, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've blocked and tagged all of the accounts based on the behaviour in the report (thanks for making it clear 114.167.21.135). I've left the IP unblocked given the time since it last edited. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
