 * Suspected sockpuppets

Timeforachangenow has been an apparent WP:SPA for Mike Russell (radio presenter) - all of his edits (but one) have been to add promotional content directly related to Russell. After articles about Russell's interests were deleted or proposed for deletion, Theprbloke was created and his first edits were to completely re-write the Mike Russell article with an even more promotional tone. Whether Theprbloke is a puppet of the sock or meat variety, the username seems like a promotional account. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:50, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

 * - Meat or sock? Let's find out. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:59, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

There is a relation between User:Timeforachangenow and (as one can also easily see from  and nearly all ensuing edits from Timeforachangenow). I think there is a significant conflict of interest here as opposed to straight-up socking, and should be handled appropriately and cautiously. --MuZemike 02:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
