New editor CoachBrad08 edit-wars in an article which Gretske has previously been warned about edit-warring, deleting sourced, unflattering information from W. Thomas Smith, Jr. claiming sourced statements are "defamatory". Minutes after CoachBrad08 reaches 3rd revert, Gretske jumps in. 
 * Evidence

This article has previously been subject to tendentious edits deleting well-sourced material. (See Talk:W. Thomas Smith, Jr. and its edit history.) Gretske is a SPA whose edits consist entirely of edit-warring (deletion-warring, mostly) in this article. New account CoachBrad08 has two token-looking edits on unrelated articles.

Common behaviors include deletion of unflattering information, and claiming simply (and without evidence) sourced information is false.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that these are sockpuppets. They've both edited the same article on Feb. 23 after little (CoachBrad) or no (Gretske) previous history. Block the newer account indef; for the older account, use discretion. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 15:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
