OK, I concede there isn't much to go on here but I have found a sequence of edits by three SPAs to be highly irregular. On April 20, three SPAs made disruptive edits at List of box office bombs, all within a couple of hours of each other: MariosK (corrupting of a source), Joanna vand (addition of false information) and JohnnyCap (reverting to a much older version of the article). These editors have only made edits to this article on a single occasion. Today there was another suspicious edit by HenryBarnill who is not a SPA, but he reverted the article to the same old version as JohnnyCap. Obviously reverts are commonplace, but restoring the same older (like not from last week but from October 2015 judging by the timestamps) version of the article seems like a pretty strange thing to do if they are indeed different editors. The fact that three SPAs suddenly drop by and make weird edits indicates that there is some sockpuppetry going on to me. Betty Logan (talk) 10:01, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
