This IP 82.3.238.241 is the person who participated in excessive edit warring on his own article or biography, the Mudar Zahran article. He explicitly clarified that he is the same person on this diff. On December 1st after the IP was banned for their behaviour, several users flocked to the article including; Smartse and Hopeandreason diffs; Hopeandreason diff and Smartse diff. I did a simple google search and found a tweet by the person who the biography is on here which was posted immediately after the block was imposed, the tweet clearly calls for meatpuppetry. Further more, per WP:MEATSIGNS, they seem to fulfil several signs! 1-Excessive support for one's cause: both have reverted several times and only Smartse had participation in discussion of the Mudar Zahran article were he has supported the IP's edits excessively. 2-Editing warring: both have edit warred. 3-Editors live near one another: all users involved live in the UK. IP is from UK, Smartse is from UK and Hopeandreason is from UK. I believe all of this is solid evidence on meatpuppetry. Also When Smartse was confronted, he has even tried to justify meatpuppetry as seen in this diff. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

 * It appears to me that Smartse and Hopeandreason have made constructive edits to help the article conform to WP:BLP standards and allegations of meatpuppetry are frivolous. You may consider further steps in dispute resolution if you disagree with their edits to the article. Closing case. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
