Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-12 R&R Partners

What's the conflict?
Multiple sockpuppet accounts deleting information unfavorable to R&R Partners a private public relations and advertising firm in Las Vegas. Possible relationship with Vegaswikian an administrator who has edited extensively on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and R&R Partners. Before the sockpuppets appeared Vegaswikian committed vandalism himself and later allowed vandalism of new sourced information that criticized either of the two companies. (there is a political and financial controversy currently brewing in southern Nevada and the newspapers have reported that the two organizations are misspending tax dollars and possibly breaking the law). Sourced information is being deleted, anything critical of R&R is deleted and some sections of R&R read like an ad for the company.(LVAustrian (talk) 07:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC))
 * I think this should be moved to WP:SSP or WP:ANI. I'd figure out the sockpuppet situation first, because this may solve the other problems with the article. Mononomic (talk) 19:47, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Should look into coordinated contribs by users KDR81 and LVAustrian. It appears KDR81 is an employee of the group critical of LVCVA and R&R Partners. Ironically LVAustrian shows up to help fix or repair edits made by KDR81 on articles related to this controversy. the content posted by KDR81 and supported by LVAustrian is decidedly biased in favor of the organization called the Nevada Policy Research Institute. It appears some sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry is being played out by some individuals with a serious conflict of interest. The contribs and edits are designed to shroud these organizations in controversy and not to improve Wikipedia. LVCVA and R&R have not been accused of any legal wrong doing and the NPRI reports are based on their interpretation of public records an a self audit conducted by LVCVA. This is editorializing and not a true unbiased representation of facts. Adexpertinlv (talk) 21:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
