Suspected sockpuppets
Aside from the obviously similar usernames, all four of these accounts are attempting to add the same blog source to AR-15 style rifle.


 * Temp20220630000 added the link here, as well as another link to a blog post here,  which Temp20220701000 then posted a link to another article from that blog site the very next day,  which also just happens to be the same day that account was created.


 * Temp202207 also added a link to an article from that “thefirearmblog” website that the other accounts had been posting links to. Dennis Brown removed the link (citing that we shouldn’t be using a blog as a reliable source, and after about a one month period of inactivity from these accounts, Temp202209 created their account and then came to that same page and undid the reversion 11 minutes later,  and the edit summary they used included a reference to the edit made by Dennis Brown, saying ”Just because it has "Blog" in its name doesn't mean it's not reputable. Bet you think Fox News is news too?”  ProClasher 9 7  ~  Have A Question?  08:00, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Obviously the same person. Not sure why they are doing this, like they are throw away accounts.  Might be reasonable to have a CU poke around for other accounts.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 12:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
