All four accounts were created on 19 December 2020 and all of their edits have been concentrated on Eddie Izzard; with all of them changing pronouns on that page. Feyghost did so here (14:16, 14:18, 19:15, and 19:24); Bbjaegz did so here; Smartgay1 did so here (17:57, 18:02, 18:06, 18:07, 18:20, and 18:27); Rivermoon11 did so here (18:25 and 18:27). Their edits had been reverted due to lack of reliable sourcing. Sdrqaz (talk) 21:53, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I don't think this justifies a CU check. First of all, the article received a lot of attention around that time from multiple IPs and accounts, relating to the well-known subject's recently declared wish to be referred to using female pronouns - I imagine there was a lot of Twitter activity at the time, I can believe that a few people might have simultaneously registered accounts to make the change. Also, there are differences in editing style - Feyghost marked all their edits as minor, the other accounts didn't. The article has now been changed to reflect the pronoun change (with sourcing), and none of the accounts has edited since - I don't seen any reason to investigate further. Closing.
