 * Suspected sockpuppets

A trio of accounts dedicated to advertising the non-notable online translation company Classical Turns, which has been repeatedly deleted (see Articles for deletion/Classical Turns) and salted. Two of the accounts were created a day apart, and the editing pattern of all three is highly similar.  Glenfarclas  ( talk ) 23:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I've also added, who came along earlier today to delete comments critical of Classical Turns from Articles for deletion/Classical Turns. WHOIS shows that this address belongs to the University of Cambridge where, no surprise, David Butterfield, the founder of Classical Turns, is a lecturer.

 * Comments by other users

Whiteoctave blocked one month for sockpuppetry and external link spamming. The other accounts blocked and tagged as well. They seem to be the same user based on behavior. I'm not going to block the IP. It's a university IP, so it's shared, and almost all of those edits don't seem like Whiteoctave.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 16:21, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
