All these users were registered recently except the master and their only focus is to remove the "criticism" section from Jun Hong Lu. GSS 💬 13:11, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- +Thunderbotz who was registered a few days back, first made some random edits and then removed the controversial information from the lead section just after a failed attempt by Jeffrey Perl (diff). GSS 💬 05:40, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
- and Henry.R1, registered the same day the master account was created (same interest). GSS 💬 05:58, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Callanecc: as per off-wiki evidence looks like they were all hired by the same person to whitewash Jun Hong Lu and since they are repeating same edits meatpuppetry is possible. GSS 💬 10:08, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- @MER-C: have you looked at the evidence? GSS 💬 10:18, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

- Group 1 - Joe William McKenzie is
Confirmed to Henry.R1. Jeffrey Perl is
Possible to these two accounts.
- Group 2 - Positivepower88888 is
Confirmed to Yupem5. Thunderbotz is
Possible to these two accounts.
- The two groups are technically
Unrelated to each other. @GSS: What are your thoughts on this? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:33, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that this is likely to be a mix of meatpuppetry and sockpuppetry. I've blocked all of the accounts linking to this SPI but haven't tagged them. That should do the job. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:17, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

This appears to be a meat account that repeated almost the same edit (diff) as user Jeffrey Perl (diff) after multiple failed attempts by others. GSS 💬 18:48, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

- The evidence is very weak. Just one similar edit. I'm closing this case. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:59, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
