Recreation of Greenspring Associates while attempting to conceal Hanlyh's COI. Cabayi (talk) 22:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Adding Bayou blanc & IP for weird overlap on Market Street Power Plant in which other accounts may be involved. A CU would be useful in flushing out whether any of the other edits there are by involved parties. Cabayi (talk) 22:52, 14 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Adding Sruchlewicz, a new editor whose first 2 contributions were to remove the CSD & comment on the Contested Deletion. Quack!
 * I'm curious how you know about an article deleted a week before you created your account? The IP isn't weird, its pattern of behaviour is. Cabayi (talk) 23:18, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Not hard, considering when I first searched the term, I was re-directed to a page awaiting deletion. I reviewed that article on "Greenspring associates", determined that it needed a full re-write, and performed it. Here's a link to what I was directed to by Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Greenspring_Associates

Not weird. Not a "strange" pattern of behavior. And, lo and behold, Greenspring Associates was in the news!

 * Despite Hanlyh's CU coming back "possible/inconclusive" it is her COI that led to a perceived need to hide that connection before again writing about her employer (undisclosed WP:PAID). The behavioural evidence is a loud clear Quack! Cabayi (talk) 09:12, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I've removed the SPI notice from Bayou Blanc's talk page & left a welcome & apology. Cabayi (talk) 09:17, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I have no idea who "Hanlyh" is, nor do I know why an editor has falsely accused me of being that person.

I re-wrote completely the article on Greenspring Associates using third-party, independently verified sources to corroborate each and every assertion made. I did so on Xfinity's free internet -- so any "weird" IP may be a result of that, but again, should NOT matter. The old article was tagged as "promotional" and a complete re-write to remove any promotional or unfounded claims was requested. I performed that. I do not have any financial interest whatsoever in Greenspring Associates or any of their competitors. I am not an employee of Greenspring Associates or any of their competitors. I do not have any investments in Greenspring Associates or any of their competitors. There was no attempt, as has been falsely stated, to do anything but provide a well-researched, comprehensive article on a company that is frequently (read: almost daily) mentioned in the Baltimore news, yet has no Wikipedia article.

 * Sixthy and Sruchlewicz are ✅ to each other.
 * Hanlyh is / because they are editing from a proxy server that hides their true user agent.
 * Bayou blanc is ❌.
 * Blocked the two confirmed accounts without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:49, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
