Suspected sockpuppets
Not clear if it is sock- or meatpuppetry, but we have 3 SPAs at Ringette (and the closely related articles Sam Jacks and Red McCarthy) pushing one account of the origin of this sport. We have e.g. yesterday Clocktower using the edit summary "CheckersBoard continues to misuse the facts [...]", and a few hours later GECollins also reverting the claims with "Checkerboard continues to publish inaccurate information[...]". If not sockpuppetry, then the articles at least need protection to stop the constant edit warring. Fram (talk) 07:55, 26 September 2022 (UTC) Fram (talk) 07:55, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Recent investigation identified three related accounts, appears a block was put in place. New sock just appeared,"Sablecanoe" less than 72 hours later. Account has made only 1 edit: same content, related article and behavior, repetitive in nature, same obvious punctuation errors and spam, appears to be block evasion as well, could be piggybacking CheckersBoard (talk) 03:42, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
