ThisIsNIRlythere made two edits to Sarah Maslin Nir (see here) adding information about the subject being a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize. When it was removed from the lede and replaced further in the article by Jsg68x, SarahMaskinNir arrived the next day and for a first edit reverted it. Note that both ThisIsNIRlythere and SarahMaskinNir have some degree of the article subject's name in their name.

SarahMaskinNir went to the article talk page and accused Jsg68x of being "a paid shill for the industry and obsessed with taking her down". Today Unites123 was created and began edit warring over the same information with an edit summary accusing Jsg68x of being "a Wikimedia paid contributor, but is clearly part of the biased and/or industry-financed campaign against the subject". The two accusations are very close in wording and each account arrived only upon the cessation of editing from the previous account. All three make edits of the same content.

 * I've semi-protected the article for a month due to long term socking. Indeffing socks and blocking master one week. Closing.
