 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This appears to be a situation of sock- or meatpuppetry intended to create the impression of consensus. Both Rheesmusic and Ewater58 are single-purpose accounts with a focus on upholding the honor of the American Conservatory of Music entity that operates in Hammond, Indiana, under the authority of the Orthodox Church of Belize. In a section title on my talk page, Ewater58 essentially acknowledged being an agent of this institution (diff). The content of the Ewater58 and Rheesmusic edits and talk page posts are similar (if not identical) and their edit summaries are similar in style. They are infrequent contributors, but when they are here, they show up within a few hours (sometimes minutes) of each other to participate in the same discussions (they talk with each other and endorse one another's comments). (See the user contribution histories and the histories for the article and its talk page: .) Rheesmusic has gone to the trouble of adding several encouraging comments on User talk:1.64.57.68 after the IP user (who is in Hong Kong, according to Whois) edited the American Conservatory of Music article in much the same fashion as these other users have done. Park0977, who has not been active as recently, has had a similar editing pattern to the others.
