Rash of activity today by three users, including an IP user, single-purpose accounts all determined to remove tags of every kind (deletion, maintenance, category, WP:Biography) from S.P. Ward (poet). I threw in Stevenparrisward because of the name (compare user SP Ward (writer)) and because he edited as recently as six weeks ago. There's also a possible COI implication in Arcanus121, since one of Ward's poems is "The Hymns of Arcanus". —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:01, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I've also blocked the IP for 48 hours, as it was adding material in a similar fashion to the accounts and partook in the removal of the AfD tag. Mike V • Talk 00:21, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Same user as the other SPWard socks, created three days ago. Another sock used this one's user page to post another copy of the article about this person. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:14, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
