Suspected sockpuppets

Over the past two hours or so, there's been some vandalism on Graham Hughes where sourced content has been repeatedly removed by multiple IP editors. These three accounts have popped up recently in relation to that article, all in a very short period of time, and are clear ducks. Evidence:

  • Lastsaint first removes the content here at 6:17 AM EDT: [1].
  • Pablosound makes the same edit here at 6:28 AM EDT: [2]
  • Pablosound was only created at 6:18 AM EDT today, and this is their only edit.
  • Hobsie makes an edit to my user talk page placing edit warring warnings on it regarding this page at 6:27 AM EDT: [3].
  • Hobsie was only created at 6:16 AM EDT today, and this is their only edit. ~ RobTalk 10:40, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to the CU results, that doesn't surprise me at all, as a flurry of IP editor activity from different IPs started before accounts became involved. Also, I meant to say that the flurry of IPs and then accounts began after an IP (109.149.161.184) was blocked for repeatedly doing these exact same edits. Activity on the article was very low before all this. I think the behavioral evidence speaks for itself. ~ RobTalk 11:36, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The three accounts are Red X Unrelated.--Bbb23 (talk) 11:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: With negative CU, and no further activity on any of the accounts since July 9, I don't see any point in trying to do anything more here. Closing. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:05, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
