Fixation on and persistent edit warring on articles related to US morning TV; identical edits to Natalie Morales, Good Morning America, Today (U.S. TV program) against consensus and despite cited sources to the contrary. Master blocked indef 3/26, sock created 3/30. Master was blocked after using user (now also blocked indef) to impersonate and continue edit warring on articles related to that subject; see COI discussion that resulted in that block here.

 * I'd favor a check user. The user I've dealt with today (April 5), Worldtvjr15, has brought back Sandy Hill at the GMA article, which was originally a problem back in November by Morningtv13. They then went on and made more disruptive edits to the TODAY and CBS This Morning articles, just like Morningtv13.  Corky  |  Chat?  02:42, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I've seen much worse of both of their contributions. On my talk page and in an edit summary, I explained to Worldtvjr that she cannot be listed per WP:LISTPEOPLE unless she meets notability, which she doesn't. Their edit warring makes the accounts involved in this investigation a lot similar by contributions. IPadPerson (talk) 10:01, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
