Colinthecooper is a WP:SPA and apparent WP:COI account which focuses almost exclusively on adding promotion / puffery to Colin Cooper (psychologist), International Society for the Study of Individual Differences (an organization which Colin Cooper is currently president of), and Personality and Individual Differences (the journal put out by that organization). Colinthecooper has been warned about COI on their user talk page and in at least one edit summary. In the past, the IP 174.88.90.153 has also shown an exclusive interest in adding promotional content on these narrow topics. Now the IP 174.88.200.102 has appeared to do the same. This looks to me like a WP:DUCK for evading scrutiny related to COI. Note that good faith logged-out editing appears to be ruled out by the use of the third person to refer to Cooper in the latest IP's edit summary:.

 * Note also that both of these IPs geolocate to London, Ontario, which is where Colin Cooper resides according to his WP article. Generalrelative (talk) 23:24, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

 * The older IP's edits were all before Colinthecooper registered their account, and as such are not sockpuppetry. The only logged out edit made after registering is benign enough that I have no reason to think it was anything but an honest mistake. Please report any disruptive or COI editing through the usual channels. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:00, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
