All accounts edit - apart from some completely unrelated edits after the respective accounts were created - exclusively articles related to Henley & Partners, such as the article itself or The Quality of Nationality Index, inserting neutral to positive information. Two have been asked about a possible COI (GlobeClimber, Fisherman887) and I am concerned about possible COI sockpuppetry, particularly because GlobeClimber seems to hold the copyright for the QNI, a publication by Henley & Partners (although this is probably more a matter for WP:COIN).

 * – This looks like a long-running UPE operation, so I think a check is warranted. I also suspect that is related. CU, please compare the accounts and look for sleepers. Thanks and best,  Blablubbs&#124;talk 09:35, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Having reviewed some off-wiki evidence, it's clear that this is UPE, and that these might be distinct individuals; a check still seems warranted to flush out sleepers (and a block for sock/meatpuppetry and UPE is needed no matter its outcome). There are also the (likely stale)Blablubbs&#124;talk 09:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Remaining accounts (including fisherman887) are indeed . Confirmed accounts, feel free to tag with whatever oldest account you are able to tie to these behaviorally. ST47 (talk) 00:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm confident all of the accounts listed are related. I know that established practice is to not block accounts that haven't edited for a while, but looking at the fact that Modurr and Fisherman887 have slept for extended periods of time, I think it makes sense to block the stale ones as well to prevent reactivation. –  please block, ,  and  indefinitely. I can do the tagging and case move part.  Blablubbs&#124;talk 08:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * By the way, there is conclusive off-wiki evidence that this is indeed UPE/COI editing. I've tagged the three most heavily affected articles accordingly. Blablubbs&#124;talk 09:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
