Suspected sockpuppets

SPAs concerned with keeping the article Sara Von Kienegger, and commenting in the AfD discussion. Apart from focusing on the same article, the users have a very similar writing style indeed, use the same kind of nonstandard formatting, write similar edit summaries - and see also this, cf this sig change. Stephenpeters999 has also used another account, which has however been disclosed and explained as a mistake here, but it is another example of writing very similar to that produced by the TiffanyTinnell account. bonadea contributions talk 13:08, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

May I strongly suggest that the scope of the investigation include every editor listed at Special:WhatLinksHere/Victorino_Noval_Foundation due to several having obvious group/corp names (LosAngelesEditors & Beverlyhillscontent), and the paid editing claim already levied here? ☆ Bri (talk) 02:05, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * one of those accts is who created Victorino Noval Foundation (LLC) (no diff possible for me)

For posterity: WP:COIN case was 01:55, 5 September 2017. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Have emailed BU Rob with information linking a PR firm to this case. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:57, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The pattern is very clear here, especially of highly similar language in edit summaries, changing each other's signatures, and claims of bias. Blocked both accounts identified above indefinitely and blocked (the true master) for two weeks.  Please move this to the appropriate master (StephenPeters123).

 * Hold off on moving or archiving for now. This is a larger paid editing sockfarm. Accounts implicated so far behaviorally:, , . ~ Rob 13 Talk 16:18, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Adding more:, . I think that's all of them. A lot of the crossover is in deleted contributions, for the record, but it involves multiple accounts making virtually identical edits or edits pushing the same agenda over a wide variety of topics including Edward Bass, Rabbit Bandini Productions, Sara Von Kienegger, and Victorino Noval Foundation. It's possible some of these editors are paid editors while others are more directly associated with the article subjects, but behaviorally, they are identical, and so they will be treated as such here. (I'm not worried about polluting CU info because most are stale anyway.) This needs to be moved to whichever is the first account. I believe Anang5 is the oldest account. You may wish to double check before moving there. ~ Rob 13 Talk 16:26, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on behavioral evidence from deleted edits, both of those accounts are highly likely to be related to the article subject, not related to the potential paid editing group here. One is already blocked as a username policy violation. I see no reason to block the other. Behaviorally, I would consider them distinct despite the minor overlap. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:09, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, is connected. Blocked, thanks for pointing that account out. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:12, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Without going into detail because it would constitute outing, something in the deleted edits makes it clear that Daljaberz is probably not from a paid editing firm. I would consider him distinct behaviorally. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:14, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
