Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

I believe these are connected corporate spam accounts with undeclared WP:COI, in violation of the Wikimedia Foundation terms of service.


 * All accounts are single-purpose accounts focused on Sun Hung Kai Properties, whose Wikipedia page has been subject to a great deal of spam and corporate whitewashing over the past couple years
 * The accounts have posted similar content with similar edit summaries, i.e. Pksoniscy and Pfhj have used the exact phrase "Added Notable Development Projects" in edit summaries – note the curious capitalisation):
 * Both Pfhj and Legsun999 have posted similar messages to the TOP of my talk page, rather than the bottom:
 * Legsun999 used the plural "we" on my talk page after I restored some referenced content that he/she blanked: "If you fail to respond, I will consider your having failed to provide citation for the content you restored and we would remove the content once again.". The use of the plural further suggests that there is some kind of corporate PR team at work here, again in violation of Wikimedia TOS.

 * - As per behavioral evidence presented, please compare these accounts. As Pksoniscy's technical data expires imminently, this CU request is time-urgent, so thank you very much for your help. GABgab 16:10, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

 * - I took a look at this. Some of these accounts haven't edited in a while, so if you decide to block:
 * Cytsao1212 and Waiyeehung should be blocked on the technical evidence.
 * Pfhj and Pksoniscy should be blocked on technical and behavioral evidence: Making only visual edits and these edit summaries.
 * Legsun999 shares behavioral similarities with Pfhj based on these edits: (leaving messages at the top of the page, starting them with "Hi Citobun," and with a section header with two equals signs and "neutral point of view," complaining about NPOV, and the slightly stilted language. They - and the rest - should be blocked at your discretion. GABgab 15:45, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Agreeing with the above analysis, blocked and tagged all. Closing case. Courcelles (talk) 22:01, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
