 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User is the assistant of "Amos Gitai", as per this admission of such on their userpage. User is editing only the Amos Gitai page, generally adding promotional / peacock material and / or entering the official site in support of such claims. Is also removing negative statements, such as this removal of a negative metacritic review, and removing (unaddressed) maintenance tags. Now, not only am I battling this one user to keep this page from being a complete advert, I've also got Ronitshalev10, a user created yesterday who has also only ever edited this page, making very similar changes such as this reinstatement of an official site supporting the statement "...and directed a series of increasingly acclaimed and successful films", which is obviously a conflict of interest. Also, 83.199.115.119 (another editor of only this page!) reinstated this change, among others, which I again had to revert.

The biggest problem here is, I've found, that the edits are all half useful, half not. Unfortunately, the original user is neither replying to my messages or providing reasons for their edits when making them, making this a painful and time consuming task to fix each time. Introducing multiple accounts to circumvent warnings etc is not going to help at all!  Nik the  stoned  11:15, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
