Single-purpose accounts making identical promotional edits to Shaahin Cheyene (probably autobiographical), and removing referenced content about the subject's past business practices. Scopecreep (talk) 15:27, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Note that "Shaahin" (in various spellings) means "eagle" in Persian, and darkzess.org is the official website of Shaahin Cheyene.

A few examples of identical edits (more available on request):

 * User:Gurtdiesfast (already blocked as disruptive username) also removes the spelling "Shayan" and the mention of his company Global World Media
 * User:76.126.204.109 removes the COI tag after a bit of re-wording, and removes the spelling "Shayan" at
 * User:Staceymont claims that he was "born Sean Shayan", but removes his name from the business history, as well as removing an entire section on the controversy over his first major business . Edit summaries for the largest removal edits include: "made the section more readable and concise", and "made more concise and objective".
 * User:Herbaldoctorz removes the mention of his company "Global World Media", even though half of the article talks about his legal highs business there. Removes the COI tag, the company name, and the spelling "Shayan" in.

All accounts are either or ❌ (no comment with regard to the IP addresses). I think meatpuppetry is more likely in this case. --MuZemike 21:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
