 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Both accounts exclusively edit Organic Trade Association:       as their respective contributions   show.
 * Organictrade was previously blocked, albeit a whopping five years ago, for his username being a clear violation of Username_policy. He was invited to request an unblock with a new name, but he never did.
 * OrganicTradeAssociation's violation of policy, as well as conflict of interest due to his username, are even more visible, for it is a direct copy of the lone article the two accounts edit. Arise again, Arisedrew! (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * User:NathanRice has three contributions from five years ago. The first two are to the organic trade association article  while the other one comes a year later and is unrelated. I suspect that there's far more inconspicuous sockpuppetry going on than I can spot through WP:DUCK. --Arise again, Arisedrew! (talk) 18:27, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Nathan K. Rice is a marketer who lists the Organic Trade Association as a client on his LinkedIn profile. While that may not conclusively establish that the same person is operating these accounts, it is very likely that they are being operated solely for promotional purposes. They could be blocked simply on those grounds. Ivanvector (talk) 21:56, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

 * User:OrganicTradeAssociation has been blocked for the promotional username. I don't think there's any point worrying about Nathanrice, since that account has not edited since October 2011. -- Diannaa (talk) 00:50, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
