Suspected sockpuppets


See the interaction timeline, the sockpuppet began editing 7 minutes after the puppeteer was warned for COI. The only activity on both accounts is editing the IGEM article. - ''' Chip &#x1f43a; • #TeamTrees&#x1F333; 14:48, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Please note that since IGEM Head Office was asked on their talk page to change their username, then registering with a new one shouldn't be considered sock puppetry. They are appropriately complying with a request.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:05, 11 November 2019 (UTC)


 * It appears the new account hasn't declared a conflict of interest with the topic in question - ''' Chip &#x1f43a; • #TeamTrees&#x1F333; 15:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that they need to respond to the request for a COI declaration before editing any further. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:20, 11 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Closing this with no action. As noted above, it looks like they simply complied with our request to get a new username.  If the old account starts editing again, we can investigate further.  As for the IP edit, yeah, it's probably the same person, but hardly rises to the level of socking.  If you want, drop warnings on the user page(s) reminding them to login and to declare their COI.  Don't WP:BITE.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:19, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
