Suspected sockpuppets

I came across these accounts while editing the Ben Wallace page. The first Janusfiles started editing 3 February 2019 and has only edited Wallace's page and the Minister of Security (a role Wallace held for a time). Their edits include large removals of referenced content from the page especially content which relate to more controversial aspects of the person []. The next editor Comp83 also similarly only edits the Wallace page [] and removed the same referenced content on 14 October and 15 October. The final editor Ursula212, only edits this page and again removes the same content from the article [], starting from 15 October. I suspect that there is a case of sockpuppetry or perhaps meatpuppetry. Cowlibob (talk) 17:04, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 * These three accounts are completely ❌ technically, save for being in the same country. Meatpuppetry is a possibility, as is that this MP is in the news and happened to have three supporters rush to his defense. ST47 (talk) 17:52, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comp83 uses edit summaries, the other two do not. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:43, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
