From 7/2/2015 and later:

IP (104.10.44.147) restores content not reflected in sources and fiddles with imagesCFredkin (talk) 18:08, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

IP (140.141.229.171) restores same content

IP (140.141.213.108) restores same content

IP (140.141.223.30) restores same content

User:Vanjagenije, my initial concern was based on the fact that the users and IP's seemed to share an interest in fiddling with the images in these 2 bios. However, based on their subsequent edit activity, I'm no longer convinced that they are puppets. Please feel free to close this request. Thank you.CFredkin (talk) 04:55, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

 * - What is the evidence here? I see just two accounts and several IPs editing same articles. But, are there some similar edits? Are there some diffs to show similar behavior, or similar editing style?  Vanjagenije   (talk)  14:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
