2600:387:3:805:0:0:0:67 recently chimed in at Talk:Lion Guard, making the same evidence-free COI accusation that OberRanks has been making (example here), and perhaps trying to gain an upper hand in the discussion. Geolocates to Baltimore, Maryland. OberRanks has made multiple comments referring to an off-wiki connection to Maryland (specifically, having communicated directly with the Maryland Republican Party, which has nothing to do with the subject of the article, examples here, here). The geographical nexus could be a coincidence but it would be a very odd one indeed. FYI Husnock is a legitimate alternate (retired) account of OberRanks. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC) Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Sorry guys, I have no idea who this account is or any other information. I've actually completely withdrawn from the article as the editing was getting very aggressive and the the talk page posts were getting a bit too nasty as well as threats left on my talk page that I was being "disruptive". I kind of wonder if this SPI is an attempt to "keep the fight alive" as all this appears to be is another person commenting on the article. Not surprising, as I've posted the matter on several noticeboards. -O.R.Comms 01:24, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

 * - We cannot use CU to connect named accounts and IPs, so I'm declining the CU request. However, I think it's worth asking -, is this IP you or anyone you might know? GABgab 23:16, 18 October 2017 (UTC)


 * OberRanks' explanation seems reasonable. Closing with no action. Sro23 (talk) 15:59, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
