Revision history of this article. SignOfTheTimes begins exactly where DrDelos left off adding the same source and edits the same way, especially the similar misunderstanding of reliable sources Has also made the same personal attacks. 
 * Evidence


 * Another identical edit made back in may and, there's also instances of user SignOfTheTimes claiming to be a 'representative' of the subject of the artical  . [DrDelos] also makes a similar claim to know the same subject  and two instances here  and  of both asking users to email the same subject, not something i have seen any other editor request as it isn't policy to verify facts this way. -- neon white  user page talk 18:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

See —  Rlevse  •  Talk  • 00:06, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Asking for input from SignOfTheTimes and DrDelos, neither was notified of this case. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 14:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

 * hi, this is signof the times, i am not a "sockpuppet" of drdelos nor is he of mine. we both have interest in the same pages being taken care of properly, as opposed to NeonWhite who is bullying all of the pages for some bizarre reason as opposed to a million of the other pages he could be overseeing, he chooses to pick on 3 of them.  DrDelos and I happen to care for the same pages, we are both moderators on the same board, and the bands that we are watching the pages for, have asked us to try and keep the vandals that keep changing them (ie NeonWhite) away.  So we are both working for the same people, the people that that the pages are about, if that makes any sense, and are not sock puppets of each other, hence why we are the same team. Hope that explains it.

 * Please cease the personal attacks, the pages were marked as needing work which i performed. What pages i decide to improve is no business of anyone but myself. There is no policy on what pages an editor may or may not improve. Please remember that editors do not own pages. All users are free to improve them. The only thing you are 'working for' on wikipeda is the improvement of the encyclopedia based on it's policies. You have admitted a WP:COI and neither account has acted appropriately in regard to this. Patterns of disruptive editing doesnt improve much. If your claims are true then this is simply meatpuppetry rather than sockpuppetry -- neon white user page talk 23:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Please tell me what the conflict of interest is. There is no "COI" in wanting the said pages information to be up kept, and, you are the ONLY person who is messing with it, and asking for a every single sentence to be verified to YOUR standards and your standards alone, when they are all FACTS about said performers and bands, and we gave you sources that YOU did not deem good enough, just because they didn't speak to Rolling Stone about it, does not make it untrue. As for "personal attacks", calling myself or DrDelos a meatpuppet is a personal attack as from your own definition : "The term meatpuppet is derogatory and should be used only with care." Just because another user and I care about the same pages does not make us sockpuppets or meatpuppets, please make this user stop harrassing us, and the pages we choose to care about and edit. He really has made this a personal vendetta for some reason. Sincerely, SignofTheTimes —Preceding unsigned comment added by SignOfTheTimes (talk • contribs) 01:22, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

While it is possible these two are socks, I am more inclined to think this is a case of two people interested in the same article. So I cannot block based on WP:SOCK at this time. This seems to me more of a case of content dispute and I urge the parties to use the Dispute resolution system. Also of concern are the claims by DrDelos and Signofthetimes that they know the subject (by itself not an issue) but are also acting on her behalf and at her request. Subjects of articles are not allowed to dictate article content. See WP:BLP. Also, user accounts are limited to one per person; they should not be used by more than one person and can not be used by an organization. Please heed. I'm posting this to DrDelos and Signofthetimes's user talk pages too. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 15:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
