ExploreWiki is a recently blocked paid editor based on the evidence posted at WP:COIN. In the investigation it was found that the user was employed to create LifeSource, which was subsequently created by User:Robadamstwc, and there is evidence that the user was also employed to create Erika Lemay, which was subsequently created by User:Ane_wiki. Both Ane_wiki and ExploreWiki also worked on the father/son articles Simon Tedeschi and Mark Tedeschi at very close to the same time. Behavioural evidence on-wiki includes the same referencing format with identical naming conventions for all three editors. -‎ Bilby (talk) 00:34, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

 * CU indicates that they are technically ❌ - all three are editing from different countries. Moving to open queue for behavioural analysis if desired. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:28, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
 * - Can you provide that evidence that the user was also employed to create Erika Lemay? If you can't make it public, send me an e-mail.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  07:11, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Pikamander2 has no relation to the other accounts. Robadamsla, on the other hand, uses ExploreWiki's Upwork profile. Rentier (talk) 22:58, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Two editors, and, have disclosed that they are paid editors for this company. If you have any information, would either of you care to explain the previous account, Robadamstwc, which was the only editor for LifeSource, and any connection you might have to that editor?
