 * JamesHsieu writes, Hi, Dear,.

Some context: Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents

Note that while LanzaRobert is blocked, another account User:RPLanza is also blocked. I am not sure whether to add them to this investigation or not. Additionally, User:ToddyShake was blocked for violation of WP:COI and there are a number of IP editors that seemed to be toeing a similar line (I include these here just for completeness):

 * There's a lot of Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V seemingly going on; compare for example the use of compliment and great achievement in the two diffs linked above, and the use of respected here, here and here. I do not know what this might indicate. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 18:22, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * ❌ as far as checkuser evidence goes...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:45, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll add this comment before closing with no action, having previously blocked both LanzaRobert and RPLanza. I would not go so far as Oshwah in saying that LanzaRobert and JamesHsieu are unrelated. I would describe the relation as technically inconclusive. Both blocked users were blocked under the username policy, which effectively means they are permitted to carry on editing, at this time, as long as no confusion about identities is continued. There is little to do in relation to the sockpuppetry policy. I would describe ToddyShake as technically unrelated to everyone else, to date. Going forward, I would encourage the real Robert Lanza, if they're reading this, to get in touch with me by email if there's any issues with impersonation or other identity problems. I would also encourage other editors to keep up the good work aiming for NPOV, but treat every new account with a pinch of salt, whether they're contributing content which could be considered positive or negative to the subject. -- zzuuzz (talk) 06:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
