Using the user name Annastacy all the user's contributions served to promote the company ascertia, which is involved in digital certificates which can be used for digital signatures. The promotion primarily consisted of adding links to the company's web pages in the external links section of Wikipedia articles. The linked pages promoted ascertia's products, and were not useful general discussions of topics germane to the Wikipedia articles. A number of warnings were placed on the user's talk page. Beginning August 26 the user began making a series of edits to the some of the same articles as before, adding the same sort of web pages from ascertia. The promotional edits by Ashlayclark are to Digital signature, Portable Document Format, and Entrust. I am not the only one who views these edits as promotional, as shown by this reversion by User:David Biddulph. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:23, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

 * It's likely that this accounts are operated by two different individuals with similar interests. I'll leave a note on both of their talk pages about a possible conflict of interest. Mike V  •  Talk  02:20, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I consulted with Mike on the case and agree with his conclusion. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  02:25, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
