 * Evidence
 * The user BronsonPunchout suddenly appeared on Wikipedia today (September 6th) and is solely devoted to editing the page for Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
 * On the same day 68.175.98.195 is editing the same page in the same way and at the same time--often with edits within minutes or seconds of each other--and in favor of BronsonPunchout's edits.
 * Additionally, the BronsonPunchout denies any connection between him and 68.175.98.195.
 * A deeper look into the edits of 68.175.98.195 shows that they have clearly attempted to game Wikipedia by linking the fairly generic topic of bits to Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre: diff here.


 * Comments
 * There is always the possibility that this is accidental, but given the tenacity and single-minded focus of both users to favorably edit the article for the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and their venomous lashing out at any other editor daring to clean or mark sections as needing citation point to this being far from accidental.


 * Conclusions
