Based on claims of similar sock puppetry and self-promotion at http://www.nuclearphynance.com/Show%20Post.aspx?PostIDKey=134251&PageIndex=4 I looked at High-frequency trading and found significant self-promotional edits at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High-frequency_trading&oldid=379102991 by User:FuturisticCyberSpace. Further snooping revealed self-promotional edits around the same time to Quantitative investing -- specifically within the period 15 Aug - 15 Sep 2010. User:Lippia has only edited three related articles, Quantitative investing, High-frequency trading, and Algorithmic trading. Around the same time period as User:FuturisticCyberSpace's edits and around the same time as one of Ms Aldridge's articles was accessed (10 Sep '10) in the reference of High-frequency trading. According to the above forum link, Ms Aldridge has attacked (perhaps telephoned) people who left negative reviews of her book on Amazon (and further sock puppetry may have occurred there). Therefore I request that this report be made anonymously or at best linked to the Nuclear Phynance forum rather than to me personally. More sock puppets may be involved but I think the above research is a sufficient start. Crasshopper (talk) 23:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Oh come on. FuturisticCyberSpace last edited in August 2010, and Lippia in November 2010. This is an entirely old case, and with accounts that unused, there is no point in blocking either of them. Relist if they become active, or if you have any sort of recent evidence. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
