 * On my talk page, Rmcmurrer wrote to me, "I am not Robert McMurrer but, I am a fan that is why of my user name. My real name is Peter Smith. Only one or two of those pages is made by Robert McMurrer." So either he was lying, or he was telling truth and by a remarkable coincidence someone who isn't Peter Smith is using the name PeteSmith81 to write an article about the very same person, or (most likely) they are the same person. —Largo Plazo (talk) 02:58, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * almost certainly the same, I have advised him to use only the Pete Smith account, (I do mention that it is possible for someone in good faith to write an autobio, and upon being warned against it,& the article deleted, try again under a more appropriate pseudonym or other name. I think that's the case here.  DGG ( talk ) 18:22, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Rmcmurrer indefinitely blocked and tagged. PeteSmith81 already warned by DGG about sticking to one account (which is probably what I would have done, as well), so that should be it. MuZemike 20:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
