 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by Nomoskedasticity

Employees of European University are unhappy with recent edits, particularly clarification of their accreditation status. User:Fredyfchin was blocked for 24 hours for vandalism on 17th September and, appearing not to understand that the block was temporary, has apparently created User:Drfredchin to carry on. The four other accounts were created subsequent to the 17th as well; some have performed a few edits on other pages, but both the timing and pattern of edits suggests an intention to create the appearance of multiple voices for edits that help sell European University (including nominating the article for deletion, the first edit of User:Clooodel, and voting on the AfD, User:Quick07, who cites impressively from policy on his first edit). The other purpose appears to be evasion of COI requirements: Fred Chin is an employee (see here). Previous sockpuppets for EU were User:Orman1 and User:Omrganews, and though it's not clear that these are related to the current, there is a history.
