Above editors all are creating and editing articles with WP:Peacock phrasing about Marcelo Samuel Berman. Each is reverting edits made by other editors to reduce the peacock phrasing and unsourced claims. was added to Bermans article by Marcos12334 and was reverted as the claims were exaggerated. Waren Beat then added this to the same article - with the same claims and similar language - the assumption that because Berman wrote something, it is acknowledged as being correct although few people appear to cite his works. Marcos12334 also created several articles about Bermans works. ,, , ,. noq (talk) 11:37, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Not much to report from CU. Two of the three "Berman" accounts are, but all three are obviously the same and I've blocked the lot for disruption, considering the ridiculous number of revisions I've had to suppress. No sleepers found,. I don't see enough evidence to check WB. T. Canens (talk) 13:57, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look like anything more needs doing, and all the evidence is now supressed due to privacy violations anyway. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:14, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

 * - - The only person who ever cites Marcelo Berman's work is, to my knowledge, Marcelo Berman himself. Since this sock was actually around for a while unnoticed, requesting CU to both confirm and see if there are any other socks laying about. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:36, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

These either come from relatively new accounts or IP addresses that geolocate to the region where Berman is publicly known to live.
