 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Mr Senseless

(original WP:COIN entry here)

I came across this over at the conflict of interest noticeboard, User:TuscanMeadow created Uncorrected Proof, primarily comprised of advertising for an unrelated NN book by an unknown author and publisher (ElephantEars Press) User:ElephantEars2008 comes along and make more edits, linking the article Book to Uncorrected Proof. The spam was removed by another editor, but then quickly reverted by User:Jamlady. All of these accounts are apparently single purpose accounts, wouldn't be surprised if they're all one and the same. The three accounts and a possibly related IP adress are attempting to create an illusion of consensus on Talk:Uncorrected proof. The only edits IP address 78.149.142.115 has made are similar contributions to Uncorrected Proof, possibly related. -Senseless!... says you, says me 20:54, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
