These four accounts conduct almost all of their editing on the same set of related articles which have connections to Benjamin Potter and Gregory Hughes with new article creations such as. This includes the addition of articles on several non-notable films such as, , , as well as a non-notable company owned by the pair here. Most recently Filmfestivalcircuit started this article in the same line, and when it was nominated for PROD it was deprodded by Keanubreeze here  with no explanation. These accounts appear to be either a sock or a meat with the intent of promoting the work of Benjamin Potter and Gregory Hughes, and related entities.

URGENT: I have received information of a possible Sockpuppetry allegation, which is alarming considering no illegitimate information has been created. The reason for three separate accounts from the same IP address is because we are a shared computer. In terms of the interest towards the filmmakers Benjamin Potter and Gregory Hughes, the two of them are young and upcoming writers who are creating an impact within several film communities. Their latest film Crossharbour is up for best short film at the 2011 Albuquerque Film Festival, as the reference indicated several times. Mr. Potter is also the recipient of the prestigious Dean's Award from the world-famous Conservatory of Theatre Arts & Film, as well as a writer of global commercials, a finalist at the 2007 PAGE International Screenwriting Awards, as well as a staff writer on an upcoming Travel Series. References were rightly given and then deleted for these achievements. Mr. Potter is also an NCAA golfer with an established track record of success. Again, the references pointed this out. If you could contact me back and remove such an allegation, it would be most appreciated. If there's one thing I value, it's integrity and I want nothing more than to help create accurate, reliable Wikipedia pages. There is no relationship between myself and the subjects, only a recognition of their work. I too work in the film/television genre and understand/appreciate the work that Mr. Potter and Mr. Hughes do. I'd like to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Filmfestivalcircuit (talk • contribs) 22:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Update with this latest diff where Filmfestivalcircuit states all the accounts are on a shared computer suggesting either meat/sock quite strongly.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:55, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Update with this latest diff where editor Keanubreeze admits that, "Benjamin Potter has been edited through three different accounts on a shared family computer. Mr. Potter is a professional client of our business..." and goes on to say, "...could you please refrain from these ridiculous accusations that I am somehow related or attributed to the career of Mr. Potter."  I'm a bit baffled as a client would certainly be tight connection.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:36, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

This new account appears to be an additional puppet of Keanubreeze based upon the following: 1)  A strong interest in the Benjamin Potter article, to the point of making a very similar argument on the Afd to those made by the sock:  .  2)  I note that part of that argument is trying to establish the legitimacy of Mr. Potter's university, and that this editor made several edits such as  to other articles to enhance the stature of that line of argument. 3) The sock also showed an interest in pernicious anemia with this edit  and this account has shown the same interest here .  4)  It was admitted previously by the sock here  that, "Mr. Potter is a professional client of our business" yet with the added statement in the same diff of, "could you please refrain from these ridiculous accusations that I am somehow related or attributed to the career of Mr. Potter." I am confused by this statement, as having a person as a client strongly implies a relation to the person and is a clear conflict of interest. So to summarize, this account has demonstrated strong overlap with the sock on the sock's primary topic of interest, which is a conflict of interest, has participated in an AfD on the same topic making a very similar argument, and has also done minor editing on a disease which the sock also has expressed a minor editing interest in.

Different computers and IPs, same ISP and city. Either the person from before switched things up or it's an acquaintance. TN X Man 15:52, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's an acquaintance: aside from the Benjamin Potter article, they have no other articles in common. I'm closing this without any further action for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:57, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Ironic username, considering past history of multiple accounts. Recently created Channel 2020, which reflects prior blocked account User:2020channel. Also created User:Stopsocketpuppets/Benjamin R. Potter, which is essentially a recreation of Benjamin Potter, one of Keanubreeze's series of promotional articles. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:10, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

(on adding Kingofworld123): Based upon the regular promotion of Benjamin Potter, this appears to be another sock:. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I've blocked and tagged both socks and salted the article. I don't really think we need a check here, though. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 18:07, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Another new account with the same editing patterns promoting Benjamin Potter in a slightly different article title than last few times. Previous accounts under this sock created:   and. This one has now created Benjamin_Robert_Potter, and also blanked the old sockpuppet investigation of Keanubreeze here. Pretty clearly a duck.
