 * Evidence
 * Similar editing styles and focus on and some have overlapping problems with image licensing. Accounts also remove mentions of Lynx being born in Iran and instead focus on Persia, they make dozens of edits in a row, and write similar non-neutral text. They edit war to get their changes across, and they repeatedly violate image policy.
 * Non-NPOV:
 * Removal of born in Iran (this may be correct, it's just something similar between accounts):
 * Changing text in what is supposed to be a direct quote:
 * "Most beautiful":
 * Image edits:


 * Comments
 * I've assumed good faith and thought they may simply be fans of Lynx. However, the edits just seem too promotional and too coordinated, and I now think that may be meatpuppets working for Lynx. Somno (talk) 03:13, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree that there is a semi-good possibility of meatpuppeting here. Removal of Iran nationality is interesting though... Any others have any thoughts? Scarian  Call me Pat!  06:03, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Since there is not a single talk page contribution from any of these editors, they have nearly all appeared in the last couple of weeks, and the whole purpose of their editing is to promote the "stunningly beautiful Claudia Lynx", I would be OK with an indef block of all of them for abuse of multiple accounts. (That phrase includes meatpuppetry). (With 3 months hardblock for the IP). If there were any component of regular good-faith editing here then an RFCU might be considered before acting, but I don't see one. EdJohnston (talk) 16:47, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Go ahead with the blocks if you think it's pretty obvious. I'd plug them all on single purpose promo accounts anyway (Just remembered that that's a block reason!). Thanks for replying! Hope to see you over at the switch over. Scarian  Call me Pat!  23:13, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me! Thanks. Somno (talk) 08:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * All accounts have been blocked and tagged per my recommendation above. Closing. EdJohnston (talk) 15:07, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
