I first reverted Jessica .D. Smith at the Sexually violent predator laws article in March. In June, CathyR 2015 showed up to make similar edits. I reverted CathyR 2015 after spotting a latest edit of hers; I'd missed the first one. I then took the matter to the article's talk page to argue against CathyR 2015's WP:Editorializing and POV-pushing. I noted that if CathyR 2015 is Jessica .D. Smith, she should cease socking. Finally, after months of not having been at the article, Jessica .D. Smith showed up to agree with CathyR 2015. Jessica .D. Smith added the same material with some differences. Compare my revert of CathyR 2015 here to my revert of Jessica .D. Smith here. After I reverted Jessica .D. Smith again, CathyR 2015 finally showed up again, but to revert back to Jessica .D. Smith's version (except with no lead this time and some other changes). CathyR 2015 then went to the article talk page to complain and claim that she is not a sock or a WP:Meatpuppet of Jessica .D. Smith; she stated that "2 users are [not] the same user merely due to their having similar interests." She stated this because I noted that these two accounts, which are both new, are also both editing the article, and are arguing POV issues there as well. By comparing this and this edit, also notice that both accounts use the exact phrasing "Point of View Issues." None of this is a coincidence. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:58, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
