Suspected sockpuppets
Alphaville23 is almost certainly Adam Christian Clark; on 02-01-2013 they added a photo of Clark which they hold the copyright to. After being warned for a possible COI on 11-07-2017, the user stopped editing Clark's article and began largely only editing the article about Clark's film Newly Single. Both ArtLover455 and Movielover221 accounts were only created after the COI warning (03-17-2018 and 02-15-2019, respectively).

ArtLover455 and Movielover221 have very similar usernames and both almost entirely edit articles about Clark and his films. ArtLover445 has removed a COI template from Clark's article and cleanup flags from his film Caroline and Jackie. Movielover221 has added two photos of Clark from Cannes, both on the same days that they were uploaded by his production company to Flickr (1, 2).

ArtLover455 and Movielover221 also have made closely connected edits. On 02-13-2023 ArtLover445 added information about Diary of a Spy to the Clark article, three hours before Movielover221 created an article for the movie.

While the activity from the IP address 2001:861:3185:BA00:FC9C:47BB:16B0:CD7A is much more of a stretch, the edits were made 30 minutes from Cannes, France and the photo uploads show that Clark was at Cannes that week. Vegantics (talk) 18:50, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
