Suspected sockpuppets
There has been a sustained effort by a series of single-purpose accounts (almost all of them are SPAs) to add negative material to Antioch International Movement of Churches.

Started with November 2020 with 107.184.77.103 (contributions and diffs - Grace Alliance / Spanking  / Becky Oberg)

From December 2020 to September 2022, there was Jengaboot, see contributions and diffs - Grace Alliance, Spanking, Becky Oberg 1 / Becky Oberg 2 / Grace Alliance 3 / Grace Alliance 4 / Grace Alliance 5) - and there was an ANI thread.

From October 2022 to May 2023, there was Pinoyproud, see contributions and diffs - Lawrence Huey / Racism / Gay Conversion)

In June 2023, there was Truthfinder116, see contributions and diffs - John Lo 1 / John Lo 2) - this account was clearly mocking Truthfinder117 for trying to reduce the negativity in the article.

In June 2023, there was Nicetrydummys, see contributions and diffs - Prostitution 1 / Prostitution 2) - this account was clearly mocking Nicetrydummies for trying to reduce the negativity in the article.

From June 2023 to August 2023, there was JessicaCobaugh, see contributions and diffs - Lawrence Huey / John Lo 1 / Grace Alliance / John Lo 2 / Cult)

From August 2023 to December 2023, there was Rebuttka, see contributions and diffs - John Lo / Trump / Racism)

From December 2023 to right now, there is Austin613, see contributions and diffs - Trump / Grace Alliance 1 / Racism / Herbert / Cult, Gay Conversion / Becky Oberg 1 / Becky Oberg 2 Grace Alliance 2)

Checkuser requested for these accounts. Thank you!  starship .paint  (RUN) 08:20, 10 April 2024 (UTC)


 * To add on, you can see from here that I have warned Austin613 for violations of WP:PRIMARY, WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP for their editing Antioch International Movement of Churches.  starship .paint  (RUN) 09:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Izno wrote that I could reopen this. Within hours of closing this, Austin613 restarted editing (see Special:Contributions/Austin613), after immediately pausing editing upon the opening of this SPI. Austin613's edit summary even indicated that no sockpuppets were found. In light of all of these, I ask that a result be rendered. Plus, negative material is again being added to Antioch International Movement of Churches, now from an IP.  starship  .paint  (RUN) 04:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)


 * - before you closed this, did you see the comment above? Izno said the case could be reopened. We have another new SPA at Antioch International Movement of Churches, not sure if it is a sockpuppet though.  starship .paint  (RUN) 13:42, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * The newest SPA is but they may be innocent.  starship  .paint  (RUN) 14:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

 * - All but one of these accounts are, so CheckUser tools won't tell us anything useful here. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I think this report is good, but the newest account is now about two months since last edit. Closing. Izno (talk) 01:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Reopening per above. Spicy (talk) 13:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * After doing a deep dive into the history of this page, based on behavioral evidence it seems obvious that these accounts are operated by the same person as part of some kind of coordinated campaign. The near-identical writing style and pattern of account retirement and creation is clear. Blocking and tagging all of them. Regarding Pride2bme, this user's account creation hours after this SPI was reopened and Austin613 stopped editing certainly follows the pattern. They also seem to have jumped into the exact same argument with the exact same tactics and made personal attacks while picking a fight with Shinealittlelight in their very first edit. Given all of that, including Pride2bme in the block is warranted. Additionally, I'm going to add long term ECP to that article given the length of this POV pushing sockpuppetry campaign.
