A knot of WP:SPAs whose short edit histories speak for themselves: I've reverted Nataliasims. It's now clear that the edits go beyond mere COI and are being planted by the same mind. I picked Taylorwarren13 as the master only because it's the earliest; the similarlity is not as blatant as the ones after. I note that Talk:The Humane League discloses paid editing, but these users aren't listed there. I'm not saying that the disclosure people are involved: But I wonder if The Humane League has decided to stop paying through middle-men who will disclose the payments per Wikipedia policy, and instead decided to "incentivize" people to plant content without going through disclosure.

 * 1)  is an WP:SPA that inserted similar campaign information about eggs into Costco in 2015, then went dormant until May 2017, when it inserted campaign success paragraph into Subway (restaurant).  The Costco mention primarily credits the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), a well-established longstanding organization, but also sources to The Humane League (THL), a group with a similar name started in 2005.
 * 2) Taylorwarren13 reappeared on 2017-06-16 and inserted egg sourcing campaign paragraphs into Walmart, and credited THL.
 * 3) Elliedm was created on 2017-07-10 and immediately inserted a fully-wikified and referenced paragraph into The Capital Grille about the same THL campaign as Taylorwarren13.  On 2017-07-12 Elliedm inserted the same into Darden Restaurants, which owns The Capital Grille.
 * 4) KM2017 was created on 2017-07-13 and immediately inserted a fully-wikified and referenced paragraph, with much the same wording as Elliedm, into CKE Restaurants.
 * 5) KylaHunter was created on 2017-07-17 and immediately inserted almost identical content as KM2017 into Hardee's and Carl's Jr., the two restaurants CKE Restaurants owns.
 * 6) An hour or so after KylaHunter's additions, I reverted Elliedm, KM2017, and KylaHunter, and put WP:COI notices on their pages.
 * 7) Nataliasims was created within 2 hours of my reverts, and added the same paragraph back to Darden Restaurants, despite my COI notice on KylaHunter's talk page.  Nataliasims then added more this morning (2017-07-18).
