Suspected sockpuppets

All these newly created single-purpose accounts (or nearly so) were involved in the creation and editing of promotional articles about a non-notable company, ChemEqual and Chemequal. Each creation of the article by different users contained suspiciously similar text. Most of the users have defended the article and the company on the talk pages and on their user talk pages using suspiciously similar phrases. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:52, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * An additional observation: one account, Doughbarnett, has added promotional content to Kalhaar Blues & Greens Golf Club, which is itself the target of multiple new single purpose accounts, so there may overlap with another group of socks editing there.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:03, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Six more accounts new accounts appeared in the last two days. I have added them to the list above.  Their only edits were to create and modify a new version of Chemequal.  Any chance these new accounts can be checked to see if they match the non-stale earlier ones?  -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:25, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
