 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by DestroHolmes

After User:Absolutemetazero received a 31 hour block for edit warring, two SPAs have appeared continuing the non-NPOV edits that characterize User:Absolutemetazero's edits. I am concerned that User:Absolutemetazero is using sock puppets to evade this ban.

Specifically,


 * Note similarity of User:Absolutemetazero's edit and User:Greennewton's edit  attempting to establish coverage in reliable sources, specifically the misspelling of the word 'outlet' as 'autlet'.
 * User:Liquidalpha's edit continues to expand on the same unencyclopedic paragraph started by User:Greennewton earlier in the day.
 * Lastly, all three users routinely misuse the 'minor edit' flag during their edits.

Update: Since the original SPI was posted, it seems that User:Liquidalpha has managed to get him/herself a 2 week block for disruptive editing. User:Greennewton however continued to edit during both the original and most recent block. --DestroHolmes (talk) 07:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
