Suspected sockpuppets
I'd noticed user:LucaCacciolatti making multiple self-citations in questionable circumstances, and began a dialog with them on their user page regarding CoI editing, and the limited circumstances where such self-citation would be appropriate. Amongst the edits concerned was one to Corporate spin-off. (diff ) I reverted it, only for user:GiorgiaZanetti to make a very similar edit, citing exactly the same source a few hours later. (diff ) It seems impossible not to conclude that this is either overt sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, neither of which would seem appropriate behaviour from an academic claiming expertise in the subject area.

 * These two accounts are ✅ to one another. Indeffing the sock, one week for the master since they seem to have acknowledged that what they were doing was inappropriate.  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:44, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
