JennyA12988 added extensive information about the entire past auction activity of Royalty Exchange (cited only to the company website) on 18 August 2014 and again 80 minutes later. This was removed on each occasion with an explanation in the edit summaries. The same info was added again (after removal by an external links BOT) on 19 August. At that point I left a message on their Talk page and an explanation on the article Talk page. IP 107.15.76.68 is also adding the same information repeatedly,, , which seems to be a deliberate attempt to add problematic content while logged out, making it difficult to advise, warn or sanction the editor.

N.B. JennyA12988 has admitted she is also the logged-out IP, in a comment on A930913's Talk page(the only person that has been adding the 'double brackets' en masse is IP 107.15.76.68). Therefore a checkuser is probably no longer required. Sionk (talk) 15:39, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

A CheckUser wouldn't have connected an IP address to an account anyway, for privacy reasons. That said, I'm more tempted to assume good faith (at least regarding the "sockpuppetry" issue) and accidental editing while not logged in instead of malice. Huon (talk) 19:52, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

 * As has noted above, Checkusers can only directly link IPs to accounts in exceptional circumstances.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  21:14, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've warned the account about editing while logged out, closing without action for now. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:11, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
