Almost all are single purpose accounts focussing on Orville Lloyd Douglas and, in some cases, his article “Shades of Blackface” and its presentation in A Might Heart. Each has a tendency to make numerous edits to the same article within a small period of time. None of the accounts in question provide edit summaries. Edits made by each are similar and often identical. This includes the insertion of unreferenced claims concerning Douglas former publisher:
 * Evidence
 * Jordanjames
 * 99.227.102.249
 * 99.227.105.104
 * 99.227.109.13:
 * [99.244.13.233 :

All but one have repeatedly removed templates without edit summary or discussion (examples are not comprehensive):
 * Jordanjames
 * 99.227.105.104
 * 99.227.109.13
 * 99.244.13.233
 * 99.244.55.136

Three of the accounts have blanked Orville Lloyd Douglas:
 * 99.227.102.249
 * 99.227.105.104
 * 74.111.248.48

These accounts share still more similarities. If requested, I would be willing to add more information.

In the interest of openness, I add that on 19 February I received an email from concerning the Orville Lloyd Douglas article from Jordanjames. I have chosen not to respond. Should an administrator feel that this email is at all relevant I would be willing to share its contents.

Edits such as this and this are highly offensive and obviously POV. Also, the person recently blanked the page again. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 20:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * I note that the two offensive edits are not supported by Orville Lloyd Douglas' NOW article, as 99.227.109.13 asserts, but are based on words contained in a recent piece Douglas' posted on his blog. I add that the edits in question are two in a series of eleven in which 99.227.109.13 provides unreferenced detailed personal information of supposed dispute between Douglas and York University. I am not the first to suspect a conflict of interest. Victoriagirl (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I should have added that the edits in question were made after the filing of this report.Victoriagirl (talk) 22:33, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The evidence of sockpuppetry is very strong, particularly regarding the identical mentions of "Nurjehan Aziz the publisher of TSAR Publications" (note the same upper-case pattern) by Jordanjames and IPs. - Neparis (talk) 21:03, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * Since the problematic editing seems to have stopped, no action seems necessary at this point. If disruptive editing resumes on this article, semi-protection may be a faster way to address any problems--you can request this at WP:RFPP. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
