 * Supporting evidence: Both of these accounts were created this month, and both appear to be single purpose accounts devoted to protecting Garth Turner. Their edits are not especially egregious, but their edits are very similar, and I'm concerned that they might be trying to manufacture consensus through sock-puppetry.  In the interests of full disclosure, there is some reason to believe that they may be meat-, rather than sock-, puppets; Turner maintains a blog and, while he certainly hasn't solicited people to edit his entry, he has complained about problems he's had with Wikipedia (in the past, the entry has been vandalized for politically-motivated reasons).

Quite that these two users are related but not certain. Given that you're saying the edits are relatively innocuous, I'd advise just warning them and keep an eye out. ++Lar: t/c 22:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
