See Regina Calcaterra and history; account is an SPA for editing this article, performed an identical edit as the linked IP after the IP had been blocked for vandalism. Nathan  T 21:16, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Can't do a CU against an IP address. This case will need to be handled via behavioural evidence.  If you still believe a CU is necessary here, please provide additional evidence pointing to at least one alleged sockpuppet account, and/or convincing evidence that sleeper accounts exist.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:21, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Cheery72, Bwslm and several IP addresses (wireless accounts editing from NYC and surrounding areas of New Jersey) have had SPA-like activity regarding Regina Calcaterra. Activity is generally removing sourced but less than perfectly positive material, adding advert-like language and promoting her work and published writing. Cheery72 had multiple warnings and was running towards a block, Bwslm appears to be an attempt to start over with the same behavior under a new name. Nathan  T 20:28, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

. Because there could be reasons other than socking for the behavior of the two accounts, I am endorsing a CU. There is certainly enough evidence to support the notion that both accounts have similar agendas. However, it's not as clear that they are the same person.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:15, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Same pattern of editing as Cheery72 and Bwslm, see archives. Focus on Regina Calcaterra and adding and removing identical content. Nathan  T 21:51, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

This account, 26Depth, may be the actual sockmaster for this farm that has focused on whitewashing the Regina Calcaterra article. Recent editing allows CU to connect (or not) this account to the others. Nathan  T 18:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

. It think it's fairly obvious but because we'd be changing masters, a confirmation would be welcome.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:42, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
