Diamond145


was bloated out with PR as "sources" (the ref. names even included PR in many cases). I cleaned this up and pruned back to something that isn't obviously written by their advertising agency and a curious thing happened: Diamond145, who hasn't ten previous edits and hasn't edited since March 2016, came along and reverted. I undid this and up popped 62.11.73.23 and then immediately TD-Linux, who has 11 previous edits, none tot his article, ad last edited in May. This either has to be off-wiki solicitation or sockpuppetry. Guy (Help!) 20:06, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Update: one has now admitted COI and off-wiki solicitation. This can probably be closed as meatpuppetry not sockpuppetry. Guy (Help!) 21:04, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
