 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

All of the edits by these IDs and IP addresses are to the article on Kyndra Rotunda.

User:Frances Paul was the first to misrepresent comments from the publisher's web page for Kyndra Rotunda's book as if they were from independent reviews. 

User:70.17.107.100 tried to erode the standing of another author who reviewed Rotunda's book. 

User:75.82.210.148 also tried to erode the credibility of the author who gave Rotunda's book a negative review. 

User:206.211.146.167 also removed the coverage of the negative review. 

User:Allison Page is one of several individuals who unilaterally blanked the section of the article on a sexual harrassment suit Rotunda initiated, and then declined to discuss their concerns on the talk page. ,

When this long series of edits were reverted as unconstructive by a previously uninvolved quality control volunteer User:Florencewhite engaged in a tendetious edit warring. ,, ,

My preferred outcome would include setting the article on Kyndra Rotunda so it can't be edited by IP addresses.

If I have established grounds to believe that the IDs used for partisan, tendetious editing, which only ever edited the Kyndra Rotunda article, were all made by a single individual, is this sufficient to block these IDs?

In the interests of completeness I will add that after the series of tendetious edits by User:Florencewhite, within about half an hour, someone who the OTRS team accepted had standing, requested the same blanking of the section on the sexual harrassment suit that Florencewhite kept edit-warring over. I am afraid the intervention of the OTRS team wasn't helpful in this particular case. (See Is a year too long to wait for an explanation?) But, FWIW, the complaint confirmed for me something I had suspected -- that the single individual who kept trying to give a positive spin to the Rotunda article was not complying with our guidelines on conflicts of interest.

 * The last of these accounts to edit was February 2011. That means that half a year had gone before this issue was ever brought up anywhere. As all of these accounts are incredibly stale, there's no quantifiable gain in doing any sorts of blocking now, so I'm going to close this with no action taken. Relist if there's any current abuse of multiple accounts. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
