 * Suspected sockpuppets:


 * Evidence submitted by Chrisieboy (talk)

I initially made a comment on the user's talk page and he replied with a comment on my talk page; shortly after this, my user page was vandalised. I responded by leaving a comment on the user's talk page and he replied with a comment on my talk page, just after my user page had been vandalised again. No edits, other than this vandalism, have been made by this IP address.

User: GrumpyGuts

This user has been reversing (or in his case, "copyediting") changes made to the Peterborough article for some time now. He has been reversing changes without explanation, which isn't helpful. Now, just recently, he has removed images I have placed within this article, calling it "Horrendous" This isn't explaining why it was horrendous so I cannot improve in future. When I asked this user to explain, he replied in a smart attitude with a definition of horrendous. This to me is disgusting behaviour for a senior editor. Coincidentally, his user page was vandalised and the blame was placed on me which was out of order. I disputed with him on his talk page with swearing, which I know is unacceptable. He had no right to accuse me without evidence. I live in Peterborough and the IP of the vandal (79) happens to trace to London. I wonder how I can be in two places at once!

Mayalld (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC) (self-endorsed by clerk adding request) - It is quite common in the UK for IP addresses to resolve to London, even though the user is not in London (my own IP resolves to London, but I am in Manchester). Mayalld (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
