Evidence submitted by Empty Buffer
Puppeteer User:Theduel created original account this morning, and immediately began pasting to Anton Chekhov's The Duel content copied from the film's official press kit. This was followed by edit-warring: see edit history and Talk:Anton Chekhov's The Duel for the long discussion that ensued. Following the third edit-warring revert by User:Theduel, the first sockpuppet account User:Wikipbonly was then created (possibly to avoid breach of WP:3RR), and repeated identical pasting of copyrighted content, and resumed arguing about it on Talk:Anton Chekhov's The Duel following reverts. An hour later, second sock User:Crwikisite was created, but in this case a forked article The Duel a film was created instead, with content identical to what was being reverted at Anton Chekhov's The Duel. Unaware of what was going on, I first moved this to The Duel (2010 film) to fix the odd spelling, then noticed the similarity to the original, and redirected it to the original in this edit. Sockpuppet User:Crwikisite reverted my redirect in this edit, after which I speedied the fork db-A10 (duplicate article). Empty Buffer (talk) 13:46, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
