– An SPI clerk has declined a request for CheckUser, and the case is now awaiting a behavioural investigation.

Suspected sockpuppets


2600:387:3:805:0:0:0:67 recently chimed in at Talk:Lion Guard, making the same evidence-free COI accusation that OberRanks has been making (example here), and perhaps trying to gain an upper hand in the discussion. Geolocates to Baltimore, Maryland. OberRanks has made multiple comments referring to an off-wiki connection to Maryland (specifically, having communicated directly with the Maryland Republican Party, which has nothing to do with the subject of the article, examples here, here). The geographical nexus could be a coincidence but it would be a very odd one indeed. FYI Husnock is a legitimate alternate (retired) account of OberRanks. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC) Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
