This is the change between sock3 and sock1

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Russell_Hill&diff=571816065&oldid=571814810

Followed by this first diff between sock1 and sock2

All are in quick succession on a single article which has been flagged up with multiple issues and proposed for deletion.

This diff by sock3: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blue_Curry&diff=571799006&oldid=566158319 and this diff for sock2: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Julia_Vogl&diff=571817811&oldid=571817742

have both been made recently in an attempt to provide context for the page: Russell Hill and are mentioned on the talk page by sock3, see this diff:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ARussell_Hill&diff=571950825&oldid=571892267

Which seems to show sock3 has knowledge of the recent edits of sock2 suggesting they're actually just puppets of user:RussellHill 2013 trying to justify an autobiographically written page for a person of no particular note in a wider fine art context. 86.15.43.1 (talk) 23:23, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment It looks very much like the same editor used the two registered accounts, judging by their exclusive editing of Russell Hill and the very close time periods. I can't see any evidence of this being done to mislead or avoid Wikipedia sanctions - the registered accounts haven't been used concurrently. Maybe I was in error for not warning User:RussellHill 2013 about conflict of interest, when I accepted the Russell Hill article from AfC. Personally I think a polite warning would suffice and, if IP 86 insists, the Russell Hill be raised at AfD. Sionk (talk) 19:14, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

 * If had moved the page as is customary here, we might have been able to do something. However, this is long stale now, so I'm closing it with no action taken. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 22:10, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
