 * Suspected sockpuppets

I'm officially requesting a sockpuppet check on the above users. The basic story is that a few days ago I created a page for the movie The Upper Footage. About a day or so afterwards, User:BigGameFish created their account and began making a series of selective edits to the page that included copyvio from IMDb as well as editing the reception section to make it mostly focus on the positive reviews the movie received. These edits were reversed by myself and other users, but an edit war began. I was accused of being non-partial and editing with ill intent, basically saying that I was a reviewer for a film site. Accusations were also made that the film sites that negatively reviewed the film did so because of sour grapes over being duped, meaning that I was part of a dedicated slam campaign against the film. BigGameFish was blocked for edit warring and warned for uncivil comments. I did ask if he was someone involved with the film as the edits suggested that he might have a COI that would make him want to make the film's reception seem more positive. The user denied it, but this was when the attacks against my character came in full force. After the banning two new accounts, BuckeyeSteve22 and Markedwalla were created, both of which set about changing the reviews to seem more positive and also criticizing me, which makes me believe that they're either BigGameFish or someone that he asked to come on here to edit. The quacking is pretty loud here. Several disparaging messages have been left on my talkpage, which make me suspect this even more. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   07:53, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
