Three different usernames who edited Wab Kinew to insert WP:NPOV violations within the space of six minutes earlier today. Notably, all three did so as their first-ever Wikipedia edits, making it remarkably unlikely that this was purely coincidental. In addition, the fact that all three look like deliberately misspelled corruptions of real names, rather than "natural" usernames, leads me to suspect that there's an impersonation issue of some kind here.

I agree, it's too much of a coincidence to be separate users. I've blocked the two accounts and issued a warning to the master account. Mike V • Talk 04:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
