 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

575broadway added WP:REFSPAM links to many articles linking to Interview Magazine and Art in America Magazine August 18-24. Both magazines are owned by Brant Publications, whose street address is the same as the username- 575 Broadway, in NY, see:

I asked about it on ANI and put a notice on 575broadway's userpage. It was never addressed on ANI but 575broadway hasn't edited since then. However, since the ANI report, the three users above have registered. Their edits have just been to add links to Interview Magazine and make a few tweaks to those edits.

The following are either the same person or separate co-workers using the same IP. I'm leaning towards co-workers.

 * I'll come back to this case in a bit, but I'll point out that 575 Broadway is the home of Interview Magazine. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:11, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * If they're coworkers then I suppose we can let it go for now. Relist if the disruption continues. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:49, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Coworkers or not, they're still getting disruptive with their promotion of that magazine. I've blocked and tagged the sock. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:00, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
