Akedia1 is essentially a single-purpose editor focused on promoting the company VAV Life Sciences and its products, particularly brands of egg oil. ‎ All the listed IPs, which have a similar editing pattern and geolocate to the city where VAV Life Sciences is based, are obviously IP socks of Akedia1. These are included for reference/background. They have been active, along with many other IPs in 122.169.0.0/16 range, for many years. I blocked 122.169.97.100 today for ongoing promotional activity despite warnings. Prescott.asia was created last year, but just today began obvious promotion of VAV products/websites, such as this edit. I believe this is a sock of Akedia1's being used contrary to Wikipedia policy to avoid scrutiny. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:22, 20 May 2013 (UTC) -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:22, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
