''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Wrote an SPI myself, both these users pretty much only edit non-NYPD NYC-area police articles, largely to remove cited information or make esoteric changes.

Same edits as each other On City University of New York Public Safety Department, they both removed the cited state law to change the "Power and Authority" section:
 * 90Xray in August
 * Stopthemadness yesterday.

Agreeing with each other
 * Sorry C.fred but i agree with stopthemadness. Seagate officers are title as pre NYS CPL 2.10 sub 46 as peace officers (not police) so correction was made.

Both use IPs as well There's also dozens or more IPs used, but those are not listed here and probably stale, but note that they do use them as they make exact similar edits as IPs, such as:
 * On MTA Bridges and Tunnels:
 * IP Nov 15th "Removed useless information"
 * IP Nov 16th "Update and removed useless information"
 * Nov 19th 90XRay "Cleaned up useless information, the bill has not moved in committee for 5 Years ... this bill it's dead, so why posted it"
 * All to remove the same cited information about a state legislative proposal. Also, note that 90Xray had already made the account in April 2018 yet sill used IPs.


 * On City University of New York Public Safety Department:
 * IP on Jan 7 and
 * Stopthemadness on Jan 10
 * Both removed the same sourced info.

Almost the entirety of the CUNY page history is these IPs making unsourced statements about the power and authority of the officers and the use of firearms and had led to blocks and page protection in the past, so the case seems clear that even if they are meat puppets, it is their intention to edit war with multiple points of view.JesseRafe (talk) 15:02, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

 * - Requesting CU on Stopthemaddness, may as well make this ironclad. The SandDoctor  Talk 17:42, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Seems like a very similar pattern from 90 and STM a few months ago on SPI, going back for years. Either sock or meat puppets, just seemingly making the edits in succession, not so much trying to argue a point on article talks or agree with each other, but enough similarity and on the exact same subject matter to re-open.

Several accounts and IPs were just blocked last week for continuing to make edits like this one at City University of New York Public Safety Department and other quasi-police articles in NYC/NYS. JesseRafe (talk) 12:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

 * One edit three days ago? And of course a CU should not have been requested. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 17:18, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
