Suspected sockpuppets
Anon IPs have repeatedly tried to insert BLP and WP:SYNTH violating content into the Bald and Bankrupt article. The primary account appeared at the talk page to participate in discussions there and at the talk page of, before seemingly becoming frustrated and saying they would stop responding. Not long after, an IP associated with the same domain as the ones attempting to insert the questionable content joined the discussion and posted comments that read very similarly to the cadence and structure of those posted by the main account. ,,. Most notably the references to having an "honest conversation", claims of being "unreasonable" and of bad faith.

The appearance given is of one person attempting to present as two people by sometimes editing while logged out. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 22:13, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

I'll add I'm aware we don't report connections between accounts and IPs, but if someone is playing this game something needs to be done, even if quietly. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 22:24, 16 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this, glad I'm not the only one who noticed. OrgoneBox (talk) 21:46, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Adding one more to this. It looks like a blocked sockmaster has been trying to insert this same detail since at least 2021 . It's likely this is the same person. OrgoneBox (talk) 16:31, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Moving this out of the CU-queue. If you have concerns, please email an active CU privately (I don't want to touch it sense I've seen this and am moving it out of the CU SPI queue.) TonyBallioni (talk) 16:25, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Closing without further action, IPs haven't edited in a couple weeks. Semi-protection may be appropriate if there are continued issues with anonymous editors. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:25, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
