Previously IDed socks, the IP and the "new" editor exclusively edit Thomas Mesereau and related articles (especially re Mesereau's work on the Micheal Jackson trials). IP resolves to Mesereau&Yu. IP was involved in the editing with previous socks and was blocked for 3 months (named accounts were indefed). "New" user and IP are attempting to load articles with as much positive info and spin about Mesereau as possible. On article's talk page, "new" editor identifies self as, "a college student who works part-time at Mesereau&Yu".

Edits by IP and Soyoungangie "nest" neatly. After the blocks in June 2011, the IP returned 7 August 2012. Soyoungangie was registered 15 August 2012 at 12:38. IP edited at 13:42, followed by a string of edits by Soyoungangie at 13:48. IP made one edit on 15 October 2012 at 16:36. Soyoungangie picks up at 16:42. 22 October 2012, IP edited until 18:15. Soyoungangie picks up at 18:43. Prior sock case IDed several additional accounts through a CheckUser, please check for sleepers. Sum mer PhD (talk) 02:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

 * - Unfortunately, all CU data regarding Mesereauyu is stale, by now, so I'd have nothing to compare Soyoungangie with. Salvio  Let's talk about it! 12:57, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The IP and the account are clearly the same person, there is an unambiguous conflict of interest, and the user's own statements suggest that meatpuppetry is quite possible. However, there have now been no edits for 15 days, so blocking would not have an immediate preventive effect. The user has been warned about conflict of interest, and it seems to me best to leave it there for now. However, if similar editing occurs again the matter should be reconsidered.
