A mass of COI spam accounts have been created to promote the wondrous company and product that is 8 Water New Zealand, now at Afd. They've added links to various pages and one has removed a previous advert tag as "not required," bless his heart. This can't all be meat puppetry, surely.

 * - Meatfarm/sockfarm/group of paid COI editors. Either way, a connection is clear. Most of the edits are promotional in nature and one of them even made a highly technical edit like this one, to shift the company to the top of the category page - signifying prior awareness and not the new nature of the account as it currently portrays.

 * - Block RB1990 and Dcha149 as confirmed sockpuppets. Warn sockmaster. Please use discretion for ACHC, clear COI there too.  QEDK  ( 愛  •  海 ) 17:39, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I have blocked and tagged all accounts. ACHC is a single-purpose account created specifically to edit this page; combined with the CU result, that is sufficient evidence for me to block. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. Mz7 (talk) 00:13, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
