Suspected sockpuppets

I'd block them per DUCK test, but just to make sure I'd like CU verification. These four accounts overlap almost 100% in their contributions: their only interest on Wikipedia is to plug the non-notable Gjekë Marinaj and his non-notable literary theory Protonism. Behavioral evidence is further found in these two edits. Sock 4 is interesting as well: in this version of the subject's article (click in infobox on "show influences") you'll find Frederick Turner listed as an influence, and Charles.UTD has edited only the subject and Frederick Turner.

IP 76.184.254.81 is in on the action too--see capitalization, punctuation, and promotion in this edit to Gjekë Marinaj: ellipsis here and caps here. There's a couple more IPs in the same range (the 65 IP geolocates to the Dallas area, where the subject works).

I want to point out one more IP: in this edit you can see how IP129.110.5.92 had added a bunch of stuff to Turner, including a (now-dead) link to an article also found in earlier versions of the Marinaj article, such as this one, edited by Festes (see EL section, "UTD News").

There may be more but I have a headache already. Drmies (talk) 20:06, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same MO (commentary on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Protonism). One of the IPs claims to be the author of the theory himself. Thanks for your attention. Drmies (talk) 03:55, 14 April 2012 (UTC) Drmies (talk) 03:55, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, some interesting results here. Benico and Acokaj are the same. Elvisoflondon is Red X Unrelated to them. All three appear Red X Unrelated technically to the accounts in the archive. (No comment on any IPs) I wonder if there is some offsite coordination going on here? TNXMan 18:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
