These two accounts were created within hours of each other. I blocked the master for edit warring at Clifford Chance based on an AN3 report here. Clifford Chance is a large London-based law firm. The other editor involved in the edit war was. Jfmisha wanted to add negative material to the article, and Maxitrillian wanted to remove or modify it.

The puppet, Wptraineem, commented at AN3, saying "I've had problems with Maxtrillian etc deleting referenced material from pages that I've edited. I suspect he works for the firm in question." The puppet was not involved in the Chance battle. However, the puppet edited only one article, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, another large London-based law firm. The puppet added promotional material to the article. The thing that stuck out was that Maxitrillilan hadn't touched the Freshfields article. The only revert came from an IP here. FWIW, the IP geolocates to Italy, but, regardless of where the IP is editing from, even if Wptraineem suspected that the IP was Maxitrillian, how would a brand new editor know about an AN3 report regarding an article that he had never even edited? Either these two accounts are the same, or there's meat puppetry involved. One account denigrates the competitor law firm, and the other account promotes the firm they're associated with.
