User talk:David E Peterson

This user (David E Peterson) is believed to have created sock puppet account Sgenius, based upon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cali_Lewis#Self-editing_by_a_sock_puppet? certain evidence].

Because Sgenius has made only one edit so far, I believe the Sgenius account was created before this user (David E Peterson) understood that sock puppetry is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines. Since Sgenius's one edit is obviously not disruptive, I have not filed a formal request for a sock puppet investigation. However, if any further edits are made by the Sgenius account, then I will file a formal sock puppet investigation request. The user should henceforth only edit via this (David E Peterson) account. Thanks. --Art Smart Chart/ Heart 12:52, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Suspected Conflict of Interest
I suspect this user has a conflict of interest with regard to edits of Cali Lewis, as I've previously stated [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cali_Lewis#Self-editing_by_a_sock_puppet? here]. The COI guidelines read in part: "Editors with COIs are strongly encouraged to declare their interests, both on their user pages and on the talk page of the related article they are editing, particularly if those edits may be contested. Editors who disguise their COIs are often exposed, creating a perception that they, and perhaps their employer, are trying to distort Wikipedia."

I now ask this user to declare any conflict of interest they have in Cali Lewis (such as their relationship to the subject of the article), or to unequivocally declare that they have no such conflict of interest. Thanks. --Art Smart Chart/ Heart 13:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
