 * Suspected sockpuppets

Helena G. Wells is a new article about a recurring (i.e. not main) character in Warehouse 13 that was moved into article space two days ago. It came to my attention when Electprogeny, the author, added the article's subject to Warehouse 13 as a major character, when she is not, and never has been. As the addition was inappropriate I reverted the changes and redirected the article, which the author has "taken exception to". He/she eventually started a discussion on the article's talk page and, although this article had only been in article space for 2.5 hours, an IP supporting Electprogeny's position responded within 24 minutes. Electprogeny responded to the IP 7 minutes later, giving the clear impression that they are not the same person. Fifty-three minutes after that User:Mynameisme91 responded. This was Mynameisme91's first post at Wikipedia after having been created only 21 minutes before, apparently for the sole purpose of supporting Electprogeny, no matter what his actions, even slapping a civility barnstar on Electprogeny's talk page despite minimal interaction. When Electprogeny inappropriately reverted some good faith edits by another editor, he did so claiming the edits were "spurious deletes", and then accused the editor of vandalism. After I made comment on the user's talk page, Mynameisme91 was right there to back Electprogeny up. As I had reverted Electprogeny's reversion, a further revert at Helena G. Wells would have put Electprogeny in line for a 3RR warning, so instead, Mynameisme91 reverted for him. These two editors also have similar writing styles, including their use of "effect". Even if there is no confirmed sockpuppetry, there is definitely some meatpuppetry going on and the ducks are getting louder. AussieLegend (talk) 04:13, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
