Accounts have been involved in editing at the Royal Canin page, the only page both accounts have edited. These two accounts are pretty obviously connected: Their edits center on restoring aspects of this diff, made by a Royal Canin PR Rep. See Talk:Royal Canin/Archives/2021 for more on that, but that's more a UPE issue. They both have used similar Portuguese edit summaries within an hour of each other, and the sock continued to revert and directly defended the sockmaster after the sockmaster reached 3RR.

 * - this is either UPE/COI socking, or, less likely, UPE/COI meatpuppetry (both promo SPAs, see also the master's commons uploads). Please block both indefinitely, per the evidence in the filing. Thanks. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 20:17, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks – it looks like is only blocked for 2 years; was that intentional? --Blablubbs&#124;talk 20:42, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Strange, I chose indefinite. Let me fix and tag, too. Sorry, one moment. Missvain (talk) 20:43, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

All accounts blocked and tagged. (officially forever) Missvain (talk) 20:48, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Just one more small thing: I noticed you blocked Suelen Justino with "Arbitration enforcement" in the reason. I think this might have been a misclick from "Abusing multiple accounts", but I just wanted to clarify since arbitration enforcement blocks have a bit more bureaucracy associated with them. Thanks!

 * Mz7 Thank you for catching that. I have modified the block rationale. Missvain (talk) 15:39, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Restoring promotional edits made by the sockmaster at Royal Canin. Sock has a three word username, similar to master. No activity since August, but requesting a block anyway to prevent future disruption to the page. Yee no  (talk) 🍁 01:43, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 * In one edit alone, both master and sock  have some telling points of similarity. (1) The addition of the title "Dr." for every mention of Jean Cathery. (2) Addition of "guard dogs," to the sentence regarding target markets. (3) Changing "specialised" to "specialized" and "research centre" to "research center". (4) Exactly the same changes to the Research section. (5) The addition of identically worded "Nutrients versus Ingredients" sections. . --Jack Frost (talk) 06:56, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

The mentioned SPA sock readded the promotional content that was written by the sock Luis Felipe Cruppe, who was blocked last week. Same three word username as the other socks. Yee no  (talk) 🍁 21:53, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

 * As per User:Yeeno. Renan Luis Moraes:, Luis Felipe Cruppe: , and now AlexandraEstelaMonte reverts an IP to restore the changes made by Luis, then makes another promotional edit tto the page . . Whilst sometimes a 'honeypot' approach can be helpful, in these circumstances (repeated single-purpose promotionalism) I think page protection should be considered. --Jack Frost (talk) 22:41, 12 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip. I've made a request at RPP. Yee no   (talk) 🍁 02:31, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Blocked & tagged AEM. Royal Canin is already semi-protected.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:19, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
