Suspected sockpuppets

On the articles BeIN Channels Network and OSN user Lifesdear and IP 5.107.32.165 are constantly re-adding a long list of channels. For example here by Lifesdear and here by the IP on BeIN Channels Network. And here by liefsdear and here by the IP on OSN. Both users never reply or engage in discussion. Both have been blocked for disruptive editing, with Lifesdear now blocked for advertising.

Both look to be paid editors, hired to promote OSN and the beIN network. They look to work as a team but I am not 100% sure if they are identical (sockpuppets) or just working in concert (meatpuppets). But for sure is that they fill Wikipedia with promo. The Banner talk 10:40, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

It looks like clear block evasion and edit warring while logged out to me. I've extended the master's block to a month from the previous two weeks, and I blocked the IP editor for a month. If more IP addresses show up, you may want to request page protection. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:15, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
