This was brought to COIN by an IP concerned that these accounts may be socks, and I tend to agree. First, all accounts have a singular interest in editing or commenting on Ola Tunander. Second, All have been engaging in talk page discussions on Talk:Ola Tunander disputing other editors. Third, the two new accounts (Odvarius and Knowmore1919) have very similar defensive statements at the top of their talk pages: Odvarious talk statement; Knowmore1919 talk statement. Users Rhaphidophora and polstein are similar but very old accounts (2010/2011), as is the master. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:25, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

 * There may well be some common WP:COI between these, but I'm not seeing enough to convince me they're socks. Even the two talk-page "statements", while sharing a certain ranting flavor, just don't seem similar enough to convince me they're written by the same person.  Most of these accounts are historical, so blocking them would have little point.  Since Ola Tunander seems to be the only article of interest, maybe some sort of page protection will be useful, but let's wait to see if the problem persists.  -- RoySmith (talk) 03:51, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
