The article Nelson Saiers has a long history of promotional edits, SPAs, and IPs. I attempted to clean up a lot of the promotionalism in September 2021, with some of it re-inserted by Nelsonsaiers1 (declared COI), these new accounts, and IPs.

• Juy878j added the "math PhD" back into the lead ( diff) and Redbball revised that only minutes later ( diff). I had only just removed that from the lead this September ( diff).
• Gtracer1 added back the information about Saiers' HFM weekly hedge fund award ( diff) that I had also removed in September ( diff) and that Nelsonsaiers1 explicitly wanted re-added to the article ( diff).

IPs that were active in re-inserting content that I had removed and that Nelsonsaiers1 explicitly wanted back on the talk page are:

• 65.88.88.200 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) ( diff), soon after which 4dumplings made their sole edit (diff2|1043752165|diff}})
• 103.87.195.219 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) ( diff1, diff2)
• 70.107.192.55 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) ( diff)

The other SPAs tagged on Talk:Nelson Saiers are stale now from a CU point of view, but those SPAs and dozens of IPs were originally responsible for the content that has been recently re-inserted. For example, the HFM weekly award was originally added to the article by 108.30.215.232 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) ( diff). — MarkH₂₁ ^talk 13:27, 9 November 2021 (UTC) reply
