Both accounts have tried to add an unreliable article written by someone named Alex Jasin to Website builder and other places. The article is hosted on Metapress. Jasin's website promotes his marketing work for Limbitless Solutions, an article which Goodreads5398 created. The article included a gratuitous reference to "pro bono development to assist in their fundraising efforts", which used Jasin's marketing agency as its source.

Mark54ems's first activity was in July, a couple hours after Goodreads5398 responded to my talk page comments about having an obvious COI This account's main activity has been to write the article for Metapress, which is a monetized blogging platform. A handful of gnome edits also, but nothing substantial. Recently the account has again tried to add the same Jasin-written Metapress article to Content management system and Website builder again.

According to Mark44ems, who denies being a sock or having a conflict of interest, Jasin is CEO of Metapress, although there still isn't a source for this in the article. Mark44ems also says that knowledge of unsourced info was due to email correspondence with the company. Grayfell (talk) 04:38, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
