In quick succession, Prawnsong, Officialprimus and Agentogden-mcla made the same edits on the same two articles. Note that Officialprimus is already soft-blocked for COI username. Binksternet (talk) 06:18, 13 July 2015 (UTC)


 * On the Les Claypool biography, Prawnsong removed the genre of funk metal, saying "LES DOES NOT WANT IT TO SAY FUNK METAL ANYPLACE WE HAVE TAKEN THIS DOWN 100 TIMES)". This was followed by Officialprimus doing the same thing, and then by Agentogden-mcla doing the same thing.


 * On the Primus (band) article, Prawnsong removed the genre of funk metal, saying "LES DOES NOT WANT IT TO SAY FUNK METAL ANYPLACE WE HAVE TAKEN THIS DOWN 100 TIMES)". This was followed by Officialprimus doing the same thing, and then by Agentogden-mcla doing the same thing.


 * Note that Prawnsong has referred to its own account as "we", indicating a group effort. This is probably a group account edited by the management of Prawn Song Records, the label founded by Claypool. If that's the case, then Prawnsong would also be soft-blocked for COI username.


 * Checkuser has been requested to make certain this is not a case of Agentogden-mcla coming in after two COI accounts and making the same edits coincidentally. I wouldn't want Agentogden-mcla, an account that is almost two years old, to get blocked if they are not a sock. There is, however, a meat puppet aspect to this, as Primus the band is using a visual effects person on their tours, the person using the stage name Agent Ogden.

 * On my own, I checked because that account did the same thing as the others.
 * The four accounts are between and ✅. Blocked, tagged, closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 04:37, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I moved the case to the earlier account, Dollallama, which was two years older than Prawnsong. Thank you to Bbb23 for going above and beyond. Binksternet (talk) 05:32, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
