 * Suspected sockpuppets

Have only made edits to the Jerome Trammel article. Same pattern of vandalism - removal of PROD, COI tags, etc. Laurent (talk) 12:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

In the constant editwarring over the Jerome Trammel article, author User:EmorejMedia suddenly had a new friend. User:SourceSource appeared out of nowhere and opposed the deletion in the first minute of his existence. And ever since. If it looks like a duck... Yinta ɳ  12:42, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

This is a clear case of an user wanting an article about themselves on Wikipedia, and not accepting any mention of removing the article. User:EmorejMedia is stated to be the company created by Jerome Trammel, so we can assume it is almost certainly the same person as the article's subject - or at the very least a clear CoI. The article itself has been recreated multiple times with each incarnation saw removal of speedy tags as soon as they were placed. After several speedy removals the user has received a CSD warning template, a couple of user warning templates and a manual message by me stating that the CSD template should be left in the article. Still, since there was no no sign of stopping, i reported the user to WP:AIAV

Suddenly, the IP user i also noticed on the (removed) first article came back, and the second mentioned user User:SourceSource started removing templates a minute after the account was created. All in all i call this a rather obvious case, which could have been handled with a little bit more flair from our side. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 13:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
