 * - What said. Clearly related. All singing from the same songbook. Acknowledging that  reverts , however they never overlap timewise and it seems to be in aid of progressing the article. Tigmo9098 and Taotao3 show similar tendencies with Tigmo in seeking "Arbitration" and Taotao in posting a DIY user warning. All miraculously found the article and then mysteriously fell into step in editing it, reverting it, or attacking others. CU will be helpful to (1) work out whether this is SOCK or MEAT puppetry, and (2) check for any sleepers. Though given the pattern, they are not likley to be snoozing for long... --Jack Frost (talk) 16:20, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

 * From a purely technical standpoint, the accounts appear to be ❌ except that Tigmo9098 is ✅ to the sleeper account . As Jack Frost mentions above, MarshTian reverted the only edits submitted by Yuanyuanpig . I also note that this CU finding does not preclude meat puppetry or the possibility that the accounts saw some kind of off-wiki post or news article about this subject, and that's why they're here.

 * First, one more SPA that probably belongs here as well: . Tough one, but I'm going to close without action at this point. The evidence available to me agrees with Mz7's finding of unrelated - these appear to be different people behind the keyboards. I agree with Mz7's guess of either meatpuppetry or multiple people who saw the same article, and my suspicion is the former, but there just isn't strong enough evidence to prove it. I'll leave alone for now since they haven't actually done anything yet. I think they'll settle down once the AfD is done, but if the AfD goes with "keep" and these accounts continue their WP:OWN behavior there may need to be blocks on those grounds.
