Suspected sockpuppets

Initial edits added some self-serving awards that were just that notable and used weasel words and style unbecoming of the encyclopedia, e.g. using the TM logo from the name of the entity bestowing the award.

I left a COI username for the obvious conflict there, got no response, and then today, the Dalila account made the same edits, with a username specifying her as an individual at the company, but did not respond to any of the substantive issues with the edits.

Then, a few hours after that, a new new user now named Sarah with no mention of QuickBase/QB in her username made the exact same edits, again, failing to address the concerns that the awards were not properly cited to a reliable source or that the tone match the neutral presentation of an encyclopedia.

✅. However, it’s also possible they are colleagues. , an older account, is technically, but again possibly a colleague. Blocking all four accounts without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:10, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

 * If you're going to treat Dwilfridqb as a sock, then the case should be moved. Also, I blocked Quickbase twice, first a hard username block before I ran the check and then a CU block. Why did you block him a third time (obviously not a CU block)? I suppose you didn't look at the block log.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It was a mistake, I forgot to check the "Do not make any blocks" checkbox in the spi helper script. I can't remove that block now. I don't think Dwilfridqb is a sock, it's probably a meatpuppet.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:25, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The block is no biggie. No one is going to unblock them, and it will be apparent that it's a CU block from our discussion here. As for Dwilfridqb, we'll let this case stand as is but I've removed the tag from the userpage.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:22, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
