 * Suspected sockpuppets

The first two named socks above have recently (within past year) been spamming Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally.

Suspect a single editor who is a self-proclaimed owner of the resort/tiki bar which has been re-added to the article several times.

Diffs:

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Thunder_Beach_Motorcycle_Rally&diff=605205571&oldid=341533860 "I am the owner", off-wiki business evidence confirms

Probably also related, but not as certain due to the time elapsed, these following throwaway SPAs that haven't been used for a few years:
 * Thunderbeach12
 * KBThunder

The account in bold has been blocked for promotional-only use.

 * I feel like it's more likely meatpuppetry by affiliated people; try WP:COI/N instead. In any case, there is not enough evidence for WP:DUCK, and a check would be stale. Closing. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 21:53, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Same insertion of promotional material (this time including trademarks!) to Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally as last 5 reported socks. Today: [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thunder_Beach_Motorcycle_Rally&diff=616107294&oldid=613728633] Brianhe (talk) 21:36, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

The last report closed with no action (insufficient evidence, suspicion of meat puppetry). I'm not sure I completely agree. However, the IP here made two consecutive edits four days ago. I see little point in taking any action. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:06, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
