Starting with the 144.89 IP, this user has been attempting to edit Welsh Development Agency with a severe COI. In fact, out of 34 total edits across the accounts, 90% have been to this article alone, trying to push their COI POV, with only 2 edits to other articles (both of which were reverted) and 3 to user talk pages editors reverting him.

He has continuously (and since May 2011) been attempting to add information to this particular article about a government QUANGO, with information about his own company. He has been reverted by multiple editors over the years, with myself being the latest. On the occasions he has challenged the editor, he has done so with accusations of incompetency, political motivation, bias, COI and manipulation of the 'facts'.

Specific edits re: accusations are below:
 * 83.193.22.97 Added text to WDA article regarding manipulation of the article.
 * 83.193.22.97 post to Arjayay
 * 86.10.11.16 added accusation of political bias
 * 86.10.11.16 expanded accusation with accusation of coi/paid editing
 * WDA OWNER posted to my talk page, confirming COI and accusing me of censoring, and accusing me of political motivation
 * 83.193.150.216 replied to my reply, including explantion of personal attack, accusing me of incompetency, and signing the post as WDA OWNER

It seems fairly obvious that these accounts (and IP's) are the same person, most likely Christopher David (as he's signed a post as CD before). - Happysailor  (Talk) 16:36, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

 * There are too few edits to establish the connection between the three named accounts (and their edits are years apart). On the other side, connection between WDA OWNER and 83.193... IPs is obvious. No blocking is necessary at this point as the IPs are not active. I left a warning at WDA OWNER's talk page. I'm closing this case now, but should be reopened if he continues with IP editing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:52, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
