Suspected sockpuppets

 * English and Spanish WP

Evidence submitted by Willdow
Adilette1972 first popped up writing the article Adilette on the Spanish Wikipedia where they wrote in Spanish to the effect of "its about time someone writes to the world of this amazing product". The page then appeared on English WP word for word, poorly translated into English. The user was then blocked as his user name was that of the product. Immediately after this, much editing was done from several IPs from Spain, presumably under the ISPs block of IPs. The IPs have continued to try and edit this one page alone, again in poor English, citing poor references, and pushing the POV that "they really are a great pair of sandals", all in the same manor Adilette1972 did. I believe it's Adilette1972 continuing their editing and avoiding the block (my request to semi-protect was denied). Willdow (Talk) 12:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
