Suspicious. All of these accounts are WP:SPA's focusing on the DFC, one of which edited the page on the DFC's CEO Adam S. Boehler. Some of them had edited its predecessor OPIC, and the page on its CEO David Bohigian. There has also been some IP editing that looks suspicious but I am not reporting that for obvious privacy reasons. TheAwesome Hwyh  17:24, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Sdbenedict and (see deleted contribs) are  to each other with possible meatpuppetry.
 * JRRDeLeon is to Sdbenedict and Jennaellingson with possible meatpuppetry.
 * Oliviacamillebell is to Jennaellingson, Sdbenedict, and JRRDeLeon with possible meatpuppetry.
 * Oliviacamillebell has engaged in improper logged out editing. Sdbenedict has likely engaged in improper logged out editing.
 * I'm blocking Oliviacamillebell two weeks for the improper logged out editing. For everything else, . Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 17:55, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , behaviorally Sdbenedict gamed ACPERM to create Adam S. Boehler and looks like UPE; JRRDeLeon and Oliviacamillebell are doing small factual edits around the US govt's housekeeping of its agencies (dependent on whatever Oliviacamillebell did while logged out); and Jennaellingson needs examination by an admin/clerk who can see the deleted contributions.

 * None of these accounts are active anymore, and there doesn't seem to have been sufficient evidence to convince anyone to block. Closing. ST47 (talk) 02:47, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

I decided to go a little further down the rabbit-hole and found this account. I am unsure if it is related to the others, but it could be the true master. this account started editing all the way back in 2010, and has mostly edited United States Agency for International Development, the organization which eventually merged with another to form the DFC. They seemed to admit a WP:COI at this post. Again, unsure if related but I think it's worth a look. TheAwesome Hwyh  18:14, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm the person who posts as jsryanjr (unless I forget to sign in). I don't know what this sockpuppet message is about, since I don't see any indication of a second account besides jsryanjr. My Wikipedia skills aren't the greatest, so maybe I'm missing something.

Relative to USAID, it's clear to me once again that Wikipedia needs my expertise. The new DFC is absorbing one of USAID's peripheral offices, as part of an initiative that one of the U.S.'s great political parties has pursued on several occasions, notably about fifty years ago when OPIC was created. USAID continues to be alive and well.

 * I would appreciate if you could disclose any past or present affiliation you have with USAID in accordance with the requirements of WP:COI and WP:PAID. I haven't run a check yet, but I think I will have to if this doesn't receive a response. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 23:41, 3 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Actually, having reexamined the evidence, I don't think there's enough here for a check, particularly as jsryanjr wasn't caught in the previous check. Closing without action. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 07:37, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
