Regular edits at Beatles song and other music articles going back to at least October 2016, in particular in Beatles' Personnel sections where they make the same changes and usually cite the same unreliable (fan site) sources.

Apologies upfront if I've formatted this report incorrectly. It's a first for me, and, I confess, I'm not well versed in Wikipedia's back-room procedures. JG66 (talk) 08:38, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

I've included Merchant506 here in the interests of completion – because I noticed he has already been identified as a sock puppet of Rockster0123. JG66 (talk) 08:44, 5 March 2018 (UTC)


 * My thanks to everyone here for acting on this issue. No offence meant by "back-room procedures", btw … JG66 (talk) 11:24, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

 * - Please compare the 2 accounts that aren't stale (Aohhodohida0123 and DoctorWho0123) and look for any missed accounts. Thanks. Sro23 (talk) 02:23, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * . I resent SPI being called a backroom procedure. I've never smoked a cigar in my life.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:43, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The two accounts are .--Bbb23 (talk) 02:53, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * - I think this edit makes it clear this person has been abusing multiple accounts. Given the username similarities + topic area, all accounts listed are probably sockpuppets, but I don't think it's that important to block the inactive ones, so please block Aohhodohida0123 and DoctorWho0123.

 * I have blocked DoctorWho0123 & Aohhodohida0123. I shall tag the accounts and consider whether or not to do anything else, such as reverting edits, blocking older accounts, etc. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk)
