Possible ResearchEditor sockpuppets. All added the exact same information and citations to multiple pages using a series of throwaway accounts. The POV and sources suggest RE, promoting the discredited idea that there's any weight to the satanic ritual abuse moral panic, the use of the extreme abuse surveys (G4 speedied as a recreation of the Extreme Abuse Survey with an AFD here) and Randy Noblitt's discredited beliefs about satanic ritual abuse. All are single-purpose accounts that have only one topic's worth of edits, and redlinked talk and user pages. If it's not RE, then I would be very surprised, and even if not I can't concieve that it's not someone else sockpuppeting. If not RFCU-ed, accounts should probably be blocked anyway for spamming.

That seems to be the lot. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 18:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

As I mentioned on the talk page of the relevant entry, can you check out the following two users against all those listed above as well so we can clear the air completely regarding new single purpose accounts pushing RE's POV post ResearchEditor's topic ban.

IP Red X Unrelated.  Confirmed that Attafire (talk · contribs) = Previewriver (talk · contribs) = Raorino (talk · contribs). Highly  Likely that they are all ResearchEditor (talk · contribs) – same home ISP in same town. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 00:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
