Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

The IP user edits the same articles about for-profit colleges with the same POV as blocked User:Dahnshaulis. In particular, the IP used the same unique and verbose heading here as Dahnshaulis did here. In addition, any citations given continue to be bare references just like Dahnshaulis did. I think there are enough similarities to warrant an investigation for evading a block. Bahooka (talk) 17:40, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

I got suspicious about the edits of this user and decided to do some research. A quick Google search with the user's username revealed (first Google search result) that there is a blog of exactly the same title (i.e. College Meltdown) dealing with exactly the same topics this user is editing on. Behind the blog is an activist who has been campaigning and ranting against private schools and for-profit education in general for years. The more one googles and researches the blog and its owner, the more it becomes evident that there is an obvious conflict of interest. Further research revealed that user CollegeMeltdown has already edited on Wikipedia on the exactly same topics in the past under his real name and was blocked indefinitely for disruptive editing (see here: []). Needless to say: A clear case of conflict of interest, sockpuppetry and block evasion as per WP:COI, WP:SOCK and WP:BE. 194.230.155.111 (talk) 09:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

 * - Dahnshaulis is ❌, and I don't see any behavioural evidence connecting the other two. – bradv  🍁  23:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
