The "CCC" in name User:Public Information CCC may refer to "Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County," the title of the elected office held by Dorothy A. Brown; possible conflict of interest, possible paid editor. Content removals tend toward late afternoon local time (US Central) edits, so checkuser may cluster in Cook County government IP address ranges.
