Brosurf's first edit was to an article (Friends Of Science In Medicine) created by DJFryzy: a 'summary' repeat of the same negative information already in the article body, added to the lede. Brosurf goes on to add (unsourced) material relating to Friends Of Science In Medicine into the Australian Skeptics article:. Despite having neither edited the relevant article nor the talk page, Brosurf posts an edit-warring template on User:QuackGuru's talk page, relating to the Chiropractic article, where DJFryzy has been involved in a dispute. Brosurf has also just created an article on Sue Ieraci, an Australian physician of no obvious notability - though the article seems to imply that her membership of Friends Of Science In Medicine and Australian Skeptics (the latter unsourced) is somehow significant.

 * Looks likely enough for a checkuser. This first edit by Brosurf shows that they have a pretty good knowledge of markup, combined with that that they've turned up in at a number of articles and talk pages and joined the discussion/argument should be enough for a check on them. AndyTheGrump's evidence re the warning to QuackGuru is very suspicious so there is definitely a possible link there. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:08, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

New account Tharyanp, created on February 17, the day after DJFryzy was blocked for a week for socking, takes an obvious interest in the same articles as DJFryzy - Chiropractic and Friends of Science in Medicine - supportive of the former, and critical of the latter, as was DJFryzy, along with his earlier sock User:Brosurf. (Friends of Science in Medicine is an obscure article, with only around 7 page views per day ). Note also that at Talk:Chiropractic, Tharyanp posts in support of DJFryzy, writing "how about we use the definition from previous discussions" - discussions in which Tharyanp supposedly hadn't been involved. 

There are also some odd goings on regarding Tharyanp's user page: Tharyanp adds a 'self portrait'. The image File:Paul Tharyan.png is however actually of Robert Jones, the a Dean of Eberly College, West Virginia University - see. (another thing that Tharyanp and DJFryzy have in common is contributing to articles concerning Australia, which makes a West Virginia connection seem odd.) Tharyanp has second thoughts about image, and removes it: .Tharyanp edits his 'welcome' message previously added on 17 February 2014 to read '17 February 2007'.
