There is solid off-wiki evidence of undisclosed paid editing. See WP:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 86 and Conflict of interest/Noticeboard ([//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard&diff=682781388&oldid=682780151 diff]) for what can be mentioned openly. Further details probabl falls under WP:OUTING protection but a single Elance account is connected to both of these editing jobs.

Have just connected the Elance account's first job (6ixspace Design Studio) from 2011 to, which leads to. Maybe the SPI should be renamed/merged. Brianhe (talk) 00:48, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Suggest checking against sockfarm. Connection between  and  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hamilton_Jewelers&diff=prev&oldid=513879637], similar low-bar sources and identical one word edit summaries at the article Hamilton Jewelers. This may link FlowerStorm48 and CastleKing1440 sockfarms.

Suggest checking if it's possible. Roger Connors was created by this SPA [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roger_Connors&oldid=635430267], then later visited by a FlowerStorm48 sock [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roger_Connors&diff=663040720&oldid=653117654].

Added Creoleo, a SPA who is doing article maintenance on an item which is a fictionalized account of a biog that was subject of an Elancer possibly connected to the FlowerStorm48 team as explained [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard&diff=683033429&oldid=683033404 here].

 * - Please, compare Nicksanna and Creoleo to each other. All others are very stale.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  18:20, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Nicksanna and Creoleo are ❌, though they are editing from the same general (large) geographical area. UA and ISP are different. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:29, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
