These editors have been making the exact same POV pushing edits to Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal attributing the opinion of one critic as wholly representative of all critics. All three accounts were recently created and have generally been editing the same set of articles. There is also a strong similarity between the user account names. —Farix (t &#124; c) 13:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

I found that the user did the same things to in Trust & Betrayal as well, as well as similar edits to Himura Kenshin. Moreover, the names prosamurai and pinchsamurai made me suspect more.Tintor2 (talk) 14:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
