This is related to Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard and involves the biography Michael Zasloff and articles related to Zasloff's research, trodusquemine, squalamine, and magainin. has acknowledged being the subject of the biography (diff), but he also appears to be simultaneously operating the Mzasloff account. The two zasloff accounts and Itsashaunparty have all been adding promotional content to these articles. Itsashaunparty and the new single-purpose account that appeared today, RPipiens, both appear to object to the state of these associated articles after the promotional content was removed. Since Itsashaunparty claims not to be Zasloff, just someone that was contacted by him (diff), there is a possibility that there are two sets of socks here: the Michael zasloff / Mzasloff pair and the Itsashaunparty / RPipiens pair. I think checkuser is needed to sort this out. ChemNerd (talk) 15:22, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Based on the results, it looks like this page should be moved to a different title since Itsashaunparty is not one of the four socks. Michael zasloff is the oldest of the four. ChemNerd (talk) 16:42, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring, self-declaration of personal expertise (researcher) and page ownership at Trodusquemine, continuing despite warning on their talk page. Klbrain (talk) 11:42, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Also: who made the same edits type of disputed edits at Trodusquemine. And after they were objected by other editors, User:ZASLOFF restored them. DMacks (talk) 05:34, 25 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I made these edits. I happen to be the scientist who led the team that discovered Trodusquemine. The review that I have restored is impartial and references all peer reviewed publications on the subject. The review I replaced was factually incorrect. I trust you understand.
