Ricklett ran up to level 4 warning by repeatedly removing speedies on Corporate Finance & Accounting Association (CFAA©) and Corporate Finance & Accounting Association (CFAA). The IP, which had never edited before, then took over and immediately got to 3RR. Then Notiond, another new user with no previous edits, removed the CSD. Bazj (talk) 18:24, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Adding CFPRO & Cbot23 as creators of previous versions of Corporate Finance & Accounting Association (CFAA©). CFPRO appears to be the original account. Bazj (talk) 18:37, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Previous edits are likely found under, who had created the same page earlier in the day (this is not a sockpuppet matter, as that account was blocked for name violations, so creating a new account is recommended). There was an earlier attempt to create the Corporate Finance & Accounting Association (CFAA©) by, again likely the same user. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:40, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * 65.200.182.210 has admitted he is Ricklett on his Talk page; effectively for Block evasion after his Ricklett account was blocked. Richard Harvey (talk) 19:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The IP now admits to being a puppet. However his version of the timeline is incorrect and self-serving. Bazj (talk) 19:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Another sock creating the same article under a new name, CFAA Corporate Finance and Accounting Association. Bazj (talk) 19:58, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Adding 208.54.36.152 based on edit to article (which I can't see now it's deleted) and this diff on my talk page. Bazj (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

 * - - It might be meatpuppets, but constant recreation of the same CSD'able topic under a variety of titles certainly seems like a narrow and common focus amongst the accounts listed. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  20:59, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ricklett already blocked (spam-only), Cbot23 blocked (bot username), and for evasion. This case will need to be renamed because Ricklett is not the older account but I will await results before moving in case they reveal an account older than those already listed. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  21:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅: CFPRO, Cbot23, Ricklett and Notiond. Plus = . It is unclear from CU data whether two groups are related. CFPRO is the oldest account. Materialscientist (talk) 23:27, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * All of the involved accounts have been blocked and the IPs involved have ceased editing. Mike V • Talk 01:33, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
