Camairaen: account created on 12/7/2012; 36 total edits; 12 edits to Rob Portman-related pages; 6 edits to Shelley Moore Capito

Republicsisterhood: account created on 9/12/2014; 33 total edits; 18 edits to Rob Portman-related pages; 10 edits to Shelley Moore Capito

The edits by Camairaen and Republicsisterhood to Shelley Moore Capito were all in May-June 2016. Capito is not up for re-election this year and has had relatively few edits.

Terrace Rock: account created on 3/21/2013; 10 total edits; 4 edits in 2013 (1 to Rob Portman); 6 edits in October 2016 (3 to Rob Portman-related pages)

All 3 editors are supporting each other at Talk:Rob Portman and User talk:Champaign Supernova. BringthePaine ( talk) 02:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

OhioTruths: account created on 11/24/2012; 71 total edits; 39 edits to Rob Portman-related pages. OhioTruths was inactive for 3.5 years and then a mere two hours after Republicsisterhood canvassed him, he suddenly becomes active on Wikipedia again.

I'm not sure if "OP" below means me. But it wasn't difficult to figure out the process for sockpuppet investigations after being the target of a sockpuppet investigation myself yesterday. BringthePaine ( talk) 15:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment: the OP seems remarkably familiar with Wikipedia processes for a 10-day account. — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 07:51, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

• Camairaen, Republicsisterhood, and Terrace Rock are  Confirmed to each other.
• OhioTruths is  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to the other three - technical differences keep me from calling this one for sure, so  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation.

I'll block the three confirmed accounts. OhioTruths is the oldest account so I'll hold on tagging. Katie ^talk 13:46, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

•  Clerk note: given OhioTruths' noted interest in Rob Portman and the fairly inconclusive CU result, I find it plausible that they were just responding to the clear canvassing by Republicsisterhood and are not actually related accounts. Closing with no action w/r/t OhioTruths. Ivanvector ( ^Talk/ _Edits) 15:40, 8 November 2016 (UTC) reply
