This appears to be a meat dedicated to promoting Eagle Vision One, and other aspects of the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. User John.I.sims created both Eagle Vision One (now deleted) and Eagle Vision One (EV1) here. Anon IP 95.89.33.30 stated that the article was designed to be promotional in nature in one of their two contributions, which both were just to the AfD discussion. Anon IP 88.68.233.169 pleads, "PLEASE just show/tell us what to do" here suggesting it is a group of editors doing the promotional activity. Now another new editor with only AfD comments, Jcocowens, pleads, "WE, EAGLE VISION ONE....." here. This appears to be a meat with the stated intent of promoting Eagle Vision One (EV1) and associated entities. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 20:31, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

I think this is more of a case of people involved with company trying to edit the article as opposed to straight-up socking, minding WP:COI. --MuZemike 21:30, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I blocked Jcocowens as an obvious throwaway account, but I also see no reason why a checkuser is really necessary here. AFDs are patrolled vigourously for socking. If more serious or persistent abuse takes place, please file another report. Marking for closure, AGK  [•] 23:24, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
