On, Abhayakara is a COI editor by acknowledgement on his user page. He has nevertheless edited the article (e.g. ), and when I reverted that edit noting COI in my edit summary, very soon afterwards we got a repeat of Abhayakara's edit by a brand-new editor. I think Abhayakara is trying to unburden himself of his COI here. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:55, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Note that Abhayakara has now removed the part of his user page that indicates the COI for the Roach article: . Nomoskedasticity (talk) 07:59, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

User:Ronlevy777 is not me, and I'm sure the IP address logs will support this assertion—I live in a small town, and it's highly unlikely that there is another editor of this article in the same town. User:Nomoskedasticity's edit is pretty clearly not encyclopedic or NPOV, and I've pointed this out and asked for help on WP:BLPN, so it's hardly surprising that someone reverted User:Nomoskedasticity's edit. It's quite possible that this other person also knows Michael Roach, in which case I would rather that he not be the one to correct User:Nomoskedasticity's non-NPOV edit, but whether he does or does not, he is not me.

One additional point: User:Ronlevy777's edit is not the text I originally proposed, and indeed I said specifically in the WP:BLPN discussion that the text that User:Ronlevy777 inserted was not sustained by the sources. One source says Christie left Roach for Thorsen; the other says that Roach filed for divorce. So the article can't say that Roach divorced McNally: that's WP:OR.

 * And yet, the two edits are identical: you did it, and then a "brand new" editor repeated it. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 04:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Take your blinders off and look again, User:Nomoskedasticity.  Look at the edit you just replaced with your own non-NPOV text.   A little critical thinking on your part would quickly end this absurd waste of time. Abhayakara (talk) 05:02, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

There's not enough behavioural patterns in one edit to see any similarity between Ronlevy777 and Abhayakara. There appears to be some disagreements between Abhayakara and Nomoskedasticity and this SPI looks to be a spill-over from disagreements at the Michael Roach article. That said, it is very unlikely that a new user would suddenly appear and revert Nomoskedasticity in this way, but not impossible. I'd say it's likely they're the same editor. I'd also add though, that Nomoskedasticity leaving edit summaries like rv edit by COI inflicted editor is not constructive. In summary, SPI is not for fishing, and one edit isn't enough evidence of disruption. --HighKing (talk) 01:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I would hate to live in your brain, User:Nomoskedasticity.  I was doing some housecleaning and noticed that the reference to being a student at DM was no longer accurate—I haven't been a student there in several years.   I have made no attempt to conceal my association with Michael Roach, and indeed the user page you claim I edited to conceal it still referred to Geshe Michael even before my most recent edit, where I added in more explicit information.   Can you not imagine even for a moment that I am might actually be an honest person? Abhayakara (talk) 08:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Insufficient information to make a determination or justify a Checkuser search at this time. Maybe if more aligned edits happen in the future, then it could be revisited. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  01:16, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
