User JIROT is a single-purpose user that created a biography (a suspected COI reported elsewhere ) on 8 June 2009 about Richard M. Weiner with quite promotional language. . Then, a few days later on 8 June 2008 user:Gigigogo another single-purpose editor, created the article Hot spot effect in subatomic physics (diff: ) where he also promotes Richard M. Weiner. Although user Gigigogo does not seem active, User JIROT is presently engaged in an edit war at the article Dark matter (diff: ) persistently adding a hypothesis and a non-reviewed paper by Richard M. Weiner. Thanks Rowan Forest (talk) 15:42, 24 October 2019 (UTC) Rowan Forest (talk) 15:42, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

 * IMO, there isn't anything worth doing today about a case of possible sockpuppetry over a decade ago. I can throw the page on my watchlist in case the slow edit warring continues, but WP:ANEW is probably a better place to bring a report. ST47 (talk) 16:11, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This issue is much too old to pursue now...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   16:26, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
