SPAs all three, being things related to Andy Spade and various companies of his, such as Partners & Spade and Sleepy Jones. Oldest account is already blocked for spam, but based on the selective use of capital letters and spaces in creating usernames that have also made promotional edits to the P&S article (only just noticed when updating that article's talk page), there is little doubt that these are all the same person.

I don't believe Mollydesmond and Caitlindonohue are socks. Both are employees (Past or present, google the names) of the company in question, so it's MEAT. However, Felltoearth is possibly sock of Caitlindonohue, and if not, is definitely MEAT as well. Caitlindonohue was blocked for promotional edits and eventually given a second chance by me. A couple days ago, Felltoearth continued the edits Caitlindonohue had been working on. I reverted and protected the article. The result was that Caitlindonohue made a COI edit request to the talk page for the same edits that Felltoearth was attempting to add. Very likely this is just a COI Meatfarm. Checkuser likely to show indistinguishable technical data if they are editing from work. -- ferret (talk) 17:43, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Again, I only noticed it when amending the COI note on the talk page I first saw because of the COI request CD had made, and the fact that all of them use miniscule letters and no space between each word of the username was too much to dismiss. I had also thought that CD was perma-blocked for not getting it/spam, otherwise would've opened this at first edits of FTE. JesseRafe (talk) 18:11, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, and re: technical data, their offices have moved between the time that LinkedIn says these two individuals worked there. Don't know if that would change anything. Think it was about 2014ish. JesseRafe (talk) 18:13, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Checkuser data for Molly will be stale and unavailable anyway. -- ferret (talk) 18:40, 25 January 2018 (UTC)


 * The master is . The two suspected puppets are but just as likely, if not more so, meat.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * the CU result seems to back up 's theory, so I'm going with that. Please ensure the two users make proper WP:PAID disclosures. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:33, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
