 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Multiple anonymous editors directly affiliated (admittedly) to the articles in questions. They have been section blanking, edit warring, and generally vandalizing the articles YoYo Games and GameMaker: Studio for some time now. A discussion was started by myself to discuss removing and fixing disputed content today to avoid WP:Conflict of interest but they refused to cooperate. Several other editors have had to warn the ip addresses of their disruptive edits.

Here are some of the diffs which show the ip addresses and accounts are connected or affiliated:


 * diff 1 Jaymd 123 reverted by User:X201
 * diff 2 RGribble0
 * diff 3 RGribble0
 * diff 4 77.97.244.79
 * diff 5 92.238.142.143
 * diff 6 195.99.213.226

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Given the information presented in the case, it appears we have different individuals here with a collective COI. As such, the accounts shouldn't be blocked as sockpuppets. I'd recommend referring them to the organization FAQ. Mike V  •  Talk  04:20, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
