Both accounts are SPAs that have resorted to edit almost exclusively in the Alfred-Maurice de Zayas article, seeking to add promotional material as well as remove any possible negative content or about criticism. Similarities have included removing sourced content, specifically from the local newspaper El Carabobeño:, supporting each other's edits and rejecting the COI concerns cited by others users. For reference, some of the interventions in the talk page are the following:


 * CubaHavana2018:
 * Senecaminor:

A complaint has already been opened in the past in the Conflict of interest noticeboard (Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 155), which is worth noting, but no action was taken at the moment. Among the noted concers are similar writing style, possible relation to Swiss residential and United Nations IPs and both WP:MEAT or WP:CAN as a result of off-wiki blogs writing about the article in question. The COI tag of the article has been present since November 2016.

I would have also included other acconts in this request, such as and, but they currently appear to be stale. NoonIcarus (talk) 03:23, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Hours after this request was filed, IP, apparently geolocated in Djibouti, proceeded to add similar content to the article. It might be worth noting for the investigation. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:29, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

This week two SPAs have been created and started editing the article:



Both have pushed for very similar changes, if not identical, of the IP mentioned above, as well as the aforementioned accounts: --NoonIcarus (talk) 01:26, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm not convinced that CubaHavana and Senecaminor are the same person, though I think canvassing may be afoot. Artyom and IntiLuna, on the other hand, are clearly either the same person or are following the same script, and I have blocked them both (no comment on whether they're also CubaHavana). Given the ongoing issues, I've opted to ECP the page in question. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:53, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * - I'd like to dig into this a bit more. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:26, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , I'm pretty sure these are all the same person. Immediately after the COIN complaint, Senecaminor's account was created and CubaHavana2018 laid low for a while.  There's similarity of edit comments by Cuba and Sene.  Here Artyom and Cuba.  And again Sene vs three by Cuba   .  And this pair by Sene and Cuba.  Similar timecards for Sene and Cuba as well. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , all right, no objection to you blocking at your discretion. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:58, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Blocked Senecaminor, tagged everybody as suspected to CubaHavana2018. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:00, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
