Suspected sockpuppets

Pettya (new SPA) and 65.222.202.205 showed up to defend an AfD for an article created by Dove.Leesa. All three accounts seem to have a peculiar way of signing their posts with no space, dashes, or other delimiters between their comments and their signatures.

Additionally, both Pettya and Dove.Leesa seem to put emphasis on the terms "Jewish-Christian" and "Washington National Cathedral" in one way or another. [1] [2]

I also have to say it's rather suspicious that the three of them all showed up to defend the same AfD after little (65.222.202.205, Dove.Leesa) or no (Pettya) activity on-wiki. All three accounts seem to bring the same exact argument regarding notability of the subject of the AfD as well [3].

Also found this similarity in writing style between 65.222.202.205 and Dove.Leesa. [4], [5]: both users implement the grammatically incorrect unspaced hyphen after the end of a clause (possibly in lieu of an endash) in the phrase The article is well written, well sourced-(65.222.202.205) and In light of the subject's notability in advancing interfaith dialogue-(Dove.Leesa).

Sidenote: not sure if Checkuser is appropriate because of IP potentially being used as a sock here; clerks/admins/CUs, please correct me if I'm wrong. AlexEng( TALK) 00:58, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply
