Lepota authored an article Celtic swimming system which seemed to me ludicrous. Of several references, most were a hundred years old or more. One was an Amazon ebook authored by Lepota L Cosmo, offered for sale two days previous. I suspected promotion. The ebook does exist on Amazon. It is a work that apparently was not proofread before publishing. At AfD, another editor, IP voted to keep. A search through WP found a bit of vandalism (or wackadoodle assertions) to Xiphoid process diff here by IP using a reference by the same Lepota L Cosmo. Several other articles have had additions with rare or nonsensical additions of redlinks like Epithymonexphrasos to Figure_of_speech and verbum volitans to Glossary of rhetorical terms with reference to work by Lepota L Cosmo found here. If this is not sockpuppetry, it is a collection of edits that need substantiation. Rhadow (talk) 19:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

I don't want to disturb anyone's privacy. What did I do wrong in this report? ... So I won't do it again. Rhadow (talk) 23:35, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm simply restating what's already on WP:SPI in bold: "...CheckUsers will not publicly connect an account with an IP address per the privacy policy except in extremely rare circumstances." So next time, just remember not to request CU for SPI's consisting of only IPsocks. Sro23 (talk) 01:29, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
