 * Suspected sockpuppets

I'm taking a class at university which on a certain subject talking about West Publishing and I noticed that the format of this article was off due to the citation being used at the time. I checked the history and saw that it apparently is some disgruntled employee that has an issue with West Publishing these days (at least that's my guesstimation). I then noticed that the user also edited at Tom Glocer so I looked there. That's when I noticed the multiple sockpuppets that was being used here in what looks like they are attacking the person that was the CEO of Thomson Reuters (which owns West Publishing). I have no investment in seeing something done about the person so I don't care for the results of this SPI. Thank you. ViriiK (talk) 05:17, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Not a case of socks, but rather of one editor who keeps forgetting his password. There is no overlap in time, and the older accounts were never even warned for anything, so there is no violation of the policy on using multiple accounts. There is still the problem of introducing unsourced content, but that is not an issue for SPI. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:27, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
