MDnews2u



 * Code letter: F


 * Supporting evidence: MDnews2u created an article at Immediate Care Wichita that was deleted as blatant advertising, then recreated and deleted as blatant vandalism. As noted in the user's contributions, these deletions caused quite a flurry of talk page activity, some of it quite hostile - case in point. Part of the deleted article was a paragraph that focused on competition to the clinic in question by Walgreens; the final edit by MDnews2u before being hit with a 72-hour block for disruption was an attempt to delete Walgreens. (Another article, NextCare Urgent Care, was successfully speedied after tagging by this editor.) A few hours later, Dsternpv appeared; this editor's first edit was a speedy tagging of Walgreens, followed by another tagging of MedExpress Urgent Care - another related article in the same vein as the deleted article. Both speedies were declined, and replaced by the new editor with chiding comments on my talk page and the article talk page. The editor has continued to dispute the refusal of the speedy deletions, even after another editor has started an AFD on the MedExpress Urgent Care article. Most recently, and an edit that I think gives the game away, is this addition of a "controversy" section to the MedExpress article, which mentions the deletions of both the Immediate Care Wichita and NextCare Urgent Care articles - which a new editor who was unfamiliar with the actions of MDnews2u should not really know about. While this seems fairly obvious, I'd appreciate some confirmation before taking action. Tony Fox (arf!) 15:52, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Based on the contributions and technical evidence available at this time, it is likely that the two accounts related and that User:Dsternpv was created to get around the 72 hour block on User:MDnews2u -- Avi (talk) 17:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Dsternpv indefinitely blocked as a sock of MDnews, and tagged accordingly.
 * The initial 72 hour block on MDnews, reset, further to his/her evasion of the block via Dstern; tagged as a sock master.
