 * Evidence

I hope I am doing this right!

1 - Became suspicious after seeing edits on promotional 'article' for Terry George (entrepreneur) (article currently up for deletion as being WP:AUTO) and Mr Gay UK, (recently heavily edited removing promotional material) a business run by this 'entrepreneur'.

2 - Overwhelming number of edits favouring/promoting T George (excluding a few bots and one or two tidies by others) are by Daxuk and Stewsam. When this was raised on Terry George (entrepreneur), Daxuk responded that there were different editor names.

3 - Lo and behold, new editor Timgwood suddenly appeared and made the only two pages listed on his diffs page, both recent restoring questionable material to the Mr Gay UK page.

4 - Then, Rjan88 appears, same article, only two articles edited ever, restores edited material promoting the business.

5 - Edit histories overlap, editing pattern almost totally the same.

Diffs pages suggest to me that Daxuk is a meatpuppet for T. George and Timgwood is a sockpuppet for Daxuk. Similarity of material submitted to both Terry George (entrepreneur) and Civil Partnership (for example: suggesting, wholly untruthfully, that T George entered into the first civil partnership in the UK. Both claims since deleted by me.) leads me to suspect that Stewsam is a sock puppet for Daxuk.

Sorry for not presenting this case very clearly, perhaps, but it is spread over a few pages and this is my first attempt at trying to ward off (possible) evil-doers! :-)

I've placed notice of the suspected sock puppet claim on each of the users talk pages. Ha! (talk) 16:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Under my user name (Alchemy12) I opened this claim. Feel free to continue it if you wish, but I personally no longer believe Daxuk to be a sock/meatpuppet.  The others seem not to edit. 81.159.211.87 (talk) 16:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
