This may be meatpuppetry rather than sockpuppetry. Here are the diffs: #1; #2; #3; #4. Bbb23 (talk) 17:17, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I am a new user and have tried to make valid contributions to the Rick Snyder page. I make a good faith edit on June 12, 2011 that was reverted with no cause by Bbb23, II fixed the sources he had flagged. I reverted the edit believing that this person was vandalizing my edit. I opened a dialogue on the talk page and endured rude and condescending comments from this user. I have advised him to stop any further contact as I view it as harassment. He has repeatedly been biting me ever since. I made one bad revert yesterday, I did not hit the right user undo, and allowed it to be reverted with no complaint. Bbb23 also posted a heavily condescending notice on my talk page which I do not appreciate. I am not affiliated with the other names. This could quite plausibly be due to high media coverage in the state. Either way, this is not a way to treat new editors, I am disappointed in the Wikipedia community's lack of acceptance and use of civility towards new users.

 * With the edits to the article being simiar, sockpuppetry is always a possibility, but comments by MSUalum08 lead me to believe this might not be the case here. Endorsing to check, as one way or another, it will help us come to a conclusion, and behavioural evidence alone here won't be anough. Steven Zhang  The clock is ticking....  01:32, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
