All three editors are single purpose accounts editing John E. Scanlon. The article has a history of obvious COI editing, and Genevois and FactChecker2018 are both removing COI cleanup tags from the article without addressing the issues. Peacock (talk) 23:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Group 1 – the following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * Iam4widlife!
 * FactChecker2018
 * Group 1 – the following accounts are to each other and  to Group 1:
 * Genevois
 * All four accounts are editing from the same geographic area, and not an area you would expect. The Group 2 accounts, though, are editing from an institution, making their user agents unreliable. The oldest account is Genevois. I've blocked the three unblocked accounts without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:10, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
