A dutch sockpuppet investigation and result. A common interest for Hans Ormel (created by Psychopomp2000 on dec 2nd and subject to a flurry of activity from the other accountsEudaimonic2100, 384400km, LotjeCat and a frequent habit of inserting references to this man and his coworkers, shared by most,,, (coauthor),, , , , including one of the ip's identified in the dutch investigation. Apart from the, rather promotional, article on Hans Ormel and inserting references to the man, the accounts come together in the article HowNutsAreTheDutch, created by Eudaimonic2100 and edited by the other familiar accounts as a look at the articles history will show. The fact that the project in question is hosted by the Ormels faculty should hardly be a surprize by now. Given the obsessive focus on Ormel and his works displayed, it seems obvious to me that the accounts are WP:NOTHERE to build the encyclopedia, the very simular patterns of editing make it a specimen of Anas platyrhynchos, since it walks, quacks and swims like one.
