 * Suspected sockpuppets

Additional suspected sock: eric leiser


 * Evidence submitted by Bigdaddy1981

Two SPAs and a host of IPs all seem focused on a small walled garden of articles relating to Jeffrey Leiser and Eric Leiser. Attempts have been made to create a page for their production company (also by some of above SPAs/IPs). The edits they make are almost invariably to insert spam, scatter peacock feathers and abuse other editors. Editors who edit in a neutral fashion are variously abused as "nerds", "tyrants" or are accused of jealousy. I believe that the IPs and SPAs are a collection of socks or meatpuppets maintained by one or both of the Leisers. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 18:32, 19 August 2009 (UTC) The AlbinoFawn account is admittedly the Leisers (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:FaustbookDVDCover.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=161066649)

Summary of characteristic pattern of hyper-aggressive, strange or abusive comments by accused parties (note these span many months and only the latest are aimed at use Bigdaddy1981 ):
 * AlbinoFawn: "Bigdaddy1981 has repeatedly launched personal attacks against SPA... has attacked not only the pages of Eric Leiser and Jeffrey Leiser, but all of their related pages, scrutinizing every statement of fact with personal bias, subjectivity, or blatant rudeness. I would request that a respectful member of the Wikipedia community investigate the claims of both SPA and Bigdaddy1981 to arrive at a reasonable conclusion to this mess. Both parties have violated Wiki policy and should discontinue editing for the time being. I also do not appreciate the implicated attack from BigDaddy1981 because of my Wikipedia profile name. Wikipedia strives for civility and I believe that BigDaddy1981 and SPA have violated this notion"
 * Here AlbinoFawn appears to mistake my use of the term SPA (single purpose accounts) for an editor's username. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 02:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "The amount of hate involved in seeking the destruction of such simple pages for independent artists who have obviously achieved much in an already tough world and the time you have taken in attacking them causes me concern for you as a human being - I pray that you find peace within"
 * Quasi religious abuse left on Bigdaddy1981's talk page.
 * 68.125.32.173: "Eric Leiser deserves this Wikipedia page. All other discussion would be frivolous in light of the facts"
 * 69.201.128.95: "There is no basis for deleting this article beyond BigDaddy's frustration","You're acting like a tyrant","If you respect Wikipedia at all, you will let sleeping dogs lie"
 * 71.139.186.65:"This is a stupid Wikipedia antic to debunk an internationally recognized artist"
 * 71.139.206.22:"Notable enough for you, Wikipedia nerds??"


 * Update --- rather than respond, ip 69.201.128.95 abusively blanked this page on August 22. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 23:04, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Additional suspected sock: Filmfawn. Says he works for the production company related to the pages the others edit, so at a minimum is a meatpuppet SPA. DMacks (talk) 19:05, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
