Veritas-Canada


User:CanadaFreeMan recently made a very misleading edit to the Marc Lemire which is similar to the sorts of edits previously associated with Veritas-Canada and the associated sock farm. This looks like a not-terribly-subtle sockpuppet attempt, which I suspect may have a different IP in the same geographic location. CJCurrie (talk) 18:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

These three accounts are almost exclusively dedicated to editing the article Marc Lemire in a similar fashion. As well, Veritas-Canada and FairnessFairy are both used as aliases of Marc Lemire off of wikipedia while RachaelMartinez is a name chosen to mock Shane Ruttle Martinez, one of Lemire's real life critics and, in addition to editing the article on Marc Lemire, the RachaelMartinez account is vandalizing the article on Shane Martinez. 64.141.68.78 (talk) 00:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Veritas, Fairness and MJM are ✅, Rachel is on an unrelated IP but in a similar geographic location and could be blocked for the user name and edits even without confirmation. Thatcher 01:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

There has been an edit war in the article Richard Warman in which established user User:Veritas-Canada and new user User:6millionmore have been adding and removing identical material. The latter account was a clear vandal and has been banned. It appears 6millionmore may have been a bad hand of Veritas-Canada.

On October 11, Veritas made this edit which was reverted by bucketsofg. On October 12, 6millionmore adds the identical information and makes several questionable edits which are then reverted. Edit war ensues, 6millionmore is banned and then Veritas-Canada returns to again add the material 6millionmore was initially trying to add. Black as pitch 13:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
