This appears to be a long term pattern based on the page edits and there is more out there. This is probably pretty stale overall but not sure how this account was missed. I also felt it might be good to actually organize in a formal sense a long term pattern of sockpuppetry. See the article history of John Alite and it should be fairly apparent.

 * This account I'm not sure on but it is the same type of negative narrating User:Thomasrussell. The difficulty here is that both Gotti "fans" and Alite "fans" seem to be having a go here. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 19:36, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

No. This has nothing to do with pro-anyone except pro-wikipedia. This just happens to be one subject I'm very familiar with because of my work in court. Every reference on the Alite page was to Alite's own biography, no 3rd party publications or references. Whereas the references I gave where actual COURT TRANSCRIPTS. I had no idea someone could use wikipedia as their PR release and this was what I was trying to correct before someone because got very sensitive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.15.176.73 (talk) 22:54, 23 July 2019 (UTC)


 * That's an interesting viewpoint but it doesn't match with the singular focus on John Alite, the repeated account creations using the name etc. There is a very clear and apparent conflict of interest here. I do actually plan on reviewing the sources presented and what is written to make sure they match so it is presented fairly. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 00:34, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to point out that Alite's wesbite is used as a source a total of one time and it looks to be used appropriately to source non controversial info. I do not see his book cited anywhere in the references list. I see a book in the external links but nothing to push an agenda, at least not openly. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 01:00, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
