Suspected sockpuppets

Hidden EA created Christopher S. Ahmad back in January 2015. They declared that they were working with Ahmad. Jump forward two years and now 3 new editors show up. Each of them are only editing the one article. They all seem to have a very good grasp of editing Wikipedia articles. SailAway17 makes one edit to add references using Citeweb and Citenews templates. WholeLottaFloyd comes in and makes one edit also using the templates for references. Now JumpAlongTheHorizon2017 edits the article and removes the notability tag and talks about how it meets all notability guidelines. He does appear to meet the GNG but the knowledge shown by these three accounts is not consistent with new editors. I know the CU data for Hidden EA is stale, but it is still good for the three accused puppets. - GB fan 16:48, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

 * WholeLottaFloyd is a possible match, but meatpuppetry would be more likely JumpAlongTheHorizon2017 and SailAway17 are likely matches to each other. Courcelles (talk) 03:14, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Meatpuppetry seems most likely. Blocking all as socks indefinitely; likely a PR firm. ~ Rob 13 Talk 17:46, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
