Seems like TEDickey does not assume good faith and seems paranoid. I rechecked the article and my edits and can't find any malice intention, promotional content or conflict of interest. My edits are always from neutral point of view. (You can cross-check) Nickjames90 (talk) 01:41, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Two accounts editing the same page does not automatically translate into sockpuppetry. You're going to need to explain why you suspect the accounts belong to one individual, and how they are actually being abused. WilliamH (talk) 20:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * It's the timeline - the original editor is the developer of the program, and edits only a few minutes apart switch roles, using the second editor to promote the topic. Likewise look at the review found by the second editor - not only written by the first editor, but also both comments under it are names for the first editor and one of his programs.

Amazing, TEDickey actually explained himself for a change. Now if he could support his article edits with cogent notations in the Edit summary, Wikipedia would be a better place for all concerned. Too many unexplained edits and reverts make him an ineffective editor full of WP:BIAS and WP:NPOV. 71.176.14.40 (talk) 01:14, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I've looked at their contributions, and I think we can safely say that Akashshastri and Nickjames90 are definitely not the same user, so I am closing this case. However, Akashshastri, as the developer of FireCMD, you really shouldn't have accepted that article submission per Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy.
