Well, my suspect around this sockpuppetry started in an AfD discussion, WP:Articles for deletion/Charles S. Herrman, one of the user try to defend the maintainability of an article providing personal attack arguments to the discussion, when I clicked in his contribution log my suspect arose, the edition and articles that those users and IPs contributed share same writing style, subject (if not to say only one article or two or three metaphysics articles), then I clicked in the article log to see if I could find any other edition that would characterize sockpuppetry and found dozen of IPs and usernames. Needless to say, the article and its major contributor share binds. Eduemoni↑talk↓  12:17, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

One strange thing popped up in the suspected sockpuppet's contributions. In the article on Frank Bray, a director named Ron Rose was linked to Charles S. Herrman. Guy Macon (talk) 14:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

In a comment on my talk page, Charles S. Herrman wrote "Re Charles S. Herrman removal: You have now identified both identities, i.e., Dusty Shelf and Mr. Man 1951." Diff.

However, in desiring to get the site built up to the point where I could defend my principles, it was necessary to practice some deception. Three others offered me their computers (or rather I offered material for them to insert). One was istheleftright, another ellenatha, and I will have to ask what the other is. Actually, all istheleftright did was establish the page since I had no earthly clue how to do jack with Wikipedia. The next listing is that of my 79-year-old next door neighbor. The final is a long-time student [...] in another part of the world..." Diff Guy Macon (talk) 18:04, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Istheleftright is clearly only here to edit for that article, so I've blocked the account. Relist if the socks become active. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:17, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
