Each of the two made the same, destructive edit to the 2010-11 NBA season article. This blanked the page or introduced repeating characters instead of text. This gaming of the system and editing while logging out in order to continue vandalism is unacceptable and must be stopped. 155blue (talk) 01:58, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Doesn't look like puppetry to me. It looks like User:GuyHimGuy misapplied the revert function and accidentally reverted to the vandalized version of the page instead of from it. User:155blue has not identified a pattern of puppetry. An investigation should not be opened based on a single edit. Pburka (talk) 02:09, 29 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Well according to iplocation.net 99.157.49.103 is hosted from at&t in Georgia and my address, 75.45.182.133, is hosted in Michigan. Therefore, there are no similarities in location. Furthermore, I have a pretty clean track record, with only 1 disruptive edit from when I first created this account in 2011 for test editing. Finally, I would like to say that my edit was intended to be in good faith and I am sorry that my revert had blanked the page. GuyHimGuy (talk) 02:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Appears to be a misclick. Clicks happen. Closed with no action as there isn't any definitive evidence to connect the two editors. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; © &#124; WER  02:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
