All three are fairly low edit counts. The latter two are recently created. All concentrating their edits in the area of 3D movies, and in particular Articles for deletion/List of 4DX motion-enhanced films, where all three have made similar arguments, and are the only three users arguing to keep. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:29, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

False accusation. My account is this and I am not Sandrobost or Harris Seldon. I posted in the articles of deletion page because someone wrote about the IMAX one in r/IMAX on reddit and the same user who did the IMAX deletion page also did the 4DX deletion one, so that's how I got there. And yes, I am a big fan of IMAX, 4DX and premium format movies. As are many people. I'm not the only person in the world who watches movies. Either way, confident wikipedia investigation will show the same thing. Shouldn't be too hard to check. -MidwoodMartin

For reference, here is the reddit post I was referring to: https://www.reddit.com/r/imax/comments/9dnsqt/list_of_imax_dmr_films_wiki_change/ As you can see, multiple people (one of them me, mikewhoneedsabike) agree on the author's notes. Not just one. -MidwoodMartin

False accusation. My account is my own and not the other users. I confirm my account is newly created, and was done when my comments against extensive changes to the list of IMAX DMR movies were being discounted because I was not a registered editor. My feelings on the IMAX movies list and the extensive changes made were strong enough to motivate me to register and explains why my recent comments are mostly related to IMAX movies. Prior to registration, I have 3 unsigned comments in the talk related IMAX DMR movies. I would like to highlight there were also a number of other passionate people in that discussion with similar comments to mine as well (which are reflected in my comments in 4DX).

I believe the request to delete 4DX was made by an editor as a reaction to an observation about 4DX I made in the IMAX talk (before I registered). I felt responsible for what I thought was an inappropriate reaction to delete the list. Instead of escalating my concerns, I thought it better to give my views about the deletion of the list and let the group process decide. Harris Seldon (talk) 07:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Before posting any comments, I do read what others say, and supporting or challenging their comments will naturally form part of my view, which is my understanding how we come to a common agreement. However, I do apologise if as a new editor I have not done things the right way and created confusion. At any rate, I'm confident in the investigation process and I'm happy to assist in any way I can. Harris Seldon (talk) 07:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

So if I understand correctly, the only arguments for your claim are the fact that we agree with each other and two of us created our accounts semi-recently (still more than five months apart)? I don't really feel like I need to defend myself here. An investigation would show that I am not a "sockpuppet". Sandrobost (talk) 11:08, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
