This IP readded, nearly verbatim, heavily promotional content to Robin Sharma after two days worth of reintroduction of that content by Sharmaleadership, a username obviously raising the specter of a COI (and whom I will bring to the attention of the COI board given the non-responsiveness to user and article talk page messages).

Understood re: CU; now I know this! Thanks for your patience!

Here's a diff showing content contributed by Sharmaleadership:. Here's a diff showing content contributed by the IP:. A good content subset demonstrating identicality of key phrases: the three paragraphs that, in the Sharmaleadership/IP versions, start out with "Years later, Robin...". See, e.g., the idiosyncratically capitalized "Lead Without A Title" and the unnecessary abbreviation point after the "Sir." re: Richard Branson.

 * - CUs will not ordinarily connet accounts to IPs. In addition, I did a random check of contribs, and I can't find obvious similarities. Can you provide diffs? (Template:DiffsNeeded.) Thanks. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 18:44, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, it does look like socking based on and . I am, however, closing this case as (a) the account is already blocked, (b) the IP edited for all of three minutes a day ago, and (c) it's possible the master simply forgot to log in, or it may have been a complete coincidence. Thanks for the report, however. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 04:08, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

This account was apparently created for the sole purpose of inserting the exact same promotional material that has already been repeatedly removed from Robin Sharma. Obvious sock, I've already blocked it. Filing for the record only, closing. Bishonen &#124; talk 08:04, 10 May 2016 (UTC).
