See COIN thread (permalink). The evidence for all accounts is spelt out there. Let me know if a summary is needed, but the thread is relatively short. MarioGom (talk) 09:31, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

So R5752332, who denied being paid and T768977, who works for T.Bela Strategies, both edited Thomas Modly and share IP? That is obviously socking or meatpuppetry, and also ToU violation for the undisclosed accounts. It seems that, at least, R5752332, T768977, and B856625 should be blocked for socking and ToU violation. MarioGom (talk) 19:23, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * – there's ample evidence of abusive socking here, and given that this is a PR firm, I would like to make sure there are no other accounts focusing on other pages. --Blablubbs (talk) 14:51, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * R5752332 shares an IP with T768977, but they have different devices so likely different people. B856625 was created by T768977, so no shock they're related. Beachsand27 is a few hours away geographically on reliable ISPs, but has a similar device to T768977.Coffeebar20 is ❌ to everyone else technically.Up to a clerk/admin to decide what to do here.

 * I'll leave this to someone else for a second pair of clerk eyes. My personal take is that the mix of probable socking and dodgy COI editing probably pushes this into sanctionable territory. --Blablubbs (talk) 10:04, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I was almost ready to just block the ones that hadn't disclosed, or maybe just the [RTB][0-9]+ ones, until I saw Special:Diff/1035624016. As  pointed out here, that's blatant gaming.  Blocked/tagged everybody and ECP Thomas Modly. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:13, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
