Shameless spamming. A quick glance into contributions by these accounts and it becomes obvious that they're unambiguously single purpose accounts used for drumming up John Fekner. Here's a COI thread I created Graywalls (talk) 08:16, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Additional supporting pattern: These edits are representative but not a complete list of Fekner related edits. Some are significant edits marked as minor. It's more probably that they're not here to make a meaningful contribution, but to promote John Fekner and his art using multiple accounts. The fact these accounts have very minimal contributions outside of inserting contents authored by Fekner or about Fekner further corroborates the suspicion that they're advertisement purpose accounts for Fekner.

Daniellasuttoni
 * Inserting Fekner into Billboard hacking
 * Inserting Fekner contents into Stencil graffiti
 * Inserting Fekner into Washington Project for the Arts
 * Inserting Fekner created contents into Stencil

Incantation
 * Created John Fekner
 * Inserting a batch of photos into John Fekner
 * Inserting Fekner into Oil spill
 * Inserting Fekner into Stencil graffiti
 * Inserting Fekner into List of stencil artists
 * Inserting a Fekner created contents into Stencil
 * Inserting Fekner created material into Broken Promises
 * Inserting Fekner created material into Artivism

Limbotoy, Probably Don Leicht, a closely related collaborator with John Fekner. Guessing from the fact this account created Don Leicht.
 * Inserting Fekner into prose at Street art
 * Inserting Fekner material into Culture jamming
 * Inserting Fekner created material into Benefit concert
 * Inserting Fekner created material into Potsdamer Platz
 * Inserting Fekner into Optic_Nerve_(CD-ROM)

The uploaded by  says it was taken by John Fekner, and it has been OTRS verified. So I think that clears any doubt if Fekner is the authentic account and the fact Fekner, Incantation and Daniellasuttoni had a period of time where they were used in parallel gives a pretty good connection that they're all under the control of him or those closely related to him.

 * - Please compare Fekner and Daniellasuttoni. Thanks, GABgab 09:00, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Salvio Let's talk about it! 10:29, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know what the difference is between unlikely, possible, and inconclusive, for the CU results. However, the behavioral evidence linking these SPAs together is very strong. Look at the upload and account creation logs. Incantation tries to upload some images, it gets deleted, and Fekner is registered. And just look at the edit summaries for all four accounts. I'm going to indef all of them for long term socking to hide a COI and repeat actions that were reverted/deleted. ST47 (talk) 16:19, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
