Suspected sockpuppets

I warned contactpage at 22:04 about hounding as they had been trolling my edits and reverting them here Aviluniv was created 2 minutes after the warning and immediately reverted my edit here by restoring unsourced information on W. B. Baker here. I reverted the edit and left a message on the user's talk page explaining my edit and questioning them about their motivations here they replied denying that they are a sockpuppet and claiming that they are a personal friend of the subject and undid my edit again. I have a strong suspicion that this account was created to carry on the hounding started by Contactpage. Domdeparis (talk) 07:07, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

I don't know what he is talking about saying that AvilaUniv was created two minutes after the warning. If the account hadn't already been created, how could I have received notice of the warning. I created AvilaUniv to undo information on my friend's Wikipedia page. He is very upset that someone with no personal knowledge of him could go in, edit, and take away his accomplishments. Dr. Baker did not receive a full MBE. He received an HONORARY MBE. An Honorary MBE does not give him full right and title as an appointed MBE would give unless he becomes a citizen of the United Kingdom.

Foreign recipients, as honorary members, do not contribute to the numbers restricted to the Order as full members do. Therefore, not being full members, ARE NOT ON ANY LISTS!

Please, I know Dr. Baker personally and he takes these edits very personally and it hurts his heart. He loves England and has written many books set there. He is extremely proud of his accomplishments and to have someone who does not know him try to take them away is very disheartening and upsets him greatly. I appreciate you looking in to this. At the same time you are looking into me, please look into the person who is accusing me of being a "sock puppet". I have known Dr. Baker for almost 30 years. My husband and I went to Avila College when Dr. Baker was the head of the Theatre department there. We have maintained our friendship over the years and I am very proud to call him a good friend and am proud of all of his accomplishments.

Thank you for your time.AvilaUniv (talk) 14:00, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * reply the question is not about the honorary MBE but about suspected sockpuppetry, that said for your information there are of course lists published otherwise anyone can claim to have been awarded an MBE; Here is a link to the list from 2010 which is the year he was supposed to have received it. On the talk page I have published links to all years from 2008 to 2013 and he does not appear in any. 2010 Domdeparis (talk) 14:41, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * You might be interested to know that the article has just been speedily deleted as a hoax. Please convey my condolences to Dr Baker.Domdeparis (talk) 14:50, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
