As has been, this is a pretty obvious case of a talent management firm in New York (MMG NYC) adoring certain of their clients and getting blocked, then resuming with new accounts.

Behavioral evidence:

All the named accounts are virtual SPAs for Joanna Pickering, Gustaf Heden and Russell Burn who seem to be associated via a certain band. One of these accounts is using part of a real name linked to the management firm as well. Hopefully the WP:DUCK is quacking loud enough for NYMMG/MMGNYC not to need further elaboration. The two IPs listed geolocate to static IPs in New York.

Diffs:
 * RepresentTV and MMGNYC both use the unusual phrase "add on" in their edit summaries.
 * Each named account making similar promotional edits on Pickering: NYMMG creates ; Littlestar99 expands filmography ; MMGNYC expands filmography with same formatting ; RepresentTV adds promotion ; Jordon RB takes over and adds promo including style & fashion section
 * MMGNYC and Jordon RB both use "add(ed) press" in edit summaries:

Sorry, it looks like MMGNYC is the oldest account (August 2010) so I filed this under the wrong name. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:58, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

 * There's nothing to do here. All of the accounts are too old. Closing without prejudice to being reopend if there's more recent disruption. Bbb23 (talk) 15:18, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
