Suspected sockpuppets


Please see the recent edit history of Home health nursing. Not too sure what is going on here, but Sash84 is the oldest account of these. Over the past week or so, after a good job period of time of no significant edits on the article Home health nursing (see its recent edit history), these five non-confirmed accounts start editing the aforementioned page with edits of questionable context to the article's subject, as well as non-standard reference formatting. In addition, three of these five accounts end with "csu" in their names, hinting that there is some sort of connection to at least those three accounts, and the other two edited around the same time as the others. Also, for all five of these accounts, their only edits (3 or less per account) are on Home health nursing. This may be a case of WP:MEATPUPPETRY, but the three "csu" accounts hint it could go either way. During the past few day, I posted a {{Welcomelaws}} notice on four of these accounts' talk pages, but even with that, the fifth account (Mranallocsu) was created and performed an edit afterwards on Home health nursing. For these reasons, I'm requesting check user to see if these five accounts have a similar geographic location, especially considering the aforementioned "csu" connection with three of them.

  • Just a passing comment: based on the article subject, the nature of the edits, and the usernames, this looks like student editing to me. I wouldn't be surprised if "CSU" is the initials of a university. Spicy (talk) 22:10, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
