*Looks like a class project to me too. Those confirmed pairs have very similar usernames - it's likely that a newbie created an account, made a mistake, and decided to start over with a different username. Best way forward is to message them and ask them which one they want to keep. [[User:Deryck Chan|Deryck]][[User talk:Deryck Chan| C.]] 17:37, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

– A checkuser has completed a check on relevant users in this case, and it is now awaiting administration and close.

Suspected sockpuppets

All of them registered in February 2017 and within the past week created about 10-15 articles for former Ph.D. students of Robert W. Heath Jr., all in the same format. Timmyshin (talk) 21:12, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by other users

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

  • I highly doubt it's a class project. If you think Nitinjmyers and UnitedStatesOfWireless are 2 individuals, what are the chances that both individuals would create sockpuppets (and exactly 1) for a class project? There are also evidences in their articles like spacing, capitalization, that I'm convinced all of them are the same person. I'm unfamiliar with how checkuser works, but I wouldn't be surprised if this individual is technically savvy and adept at switching IPs and that sort of thing.

  • User:Ks0stm Also consider this: Feichaiyang created Taiwen tang, and Hellin207 created Chao chen, Runhua chen and Tianyang bai. There's no way 2 different people in a class project will BOTH lower-case surnames. Timmyshin (talk) 01:29, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
