Please see Talk:Mark Geier for background. To summarize: an editor, suspected to be Mark Geier himself, has been editing his bio page using at least two IP addresses, an alias (Justice2day), and a probable sockpuppet (Seidel,K). The interesting thing about the sockpuppet is that it is the name of my wife, Kathleen Seidel, who writes a weblog that has lately featured a series of investigative article that are very critical of Mark Geier (in his professional capacity, not personally). Kathleen in fact does not even have a username on Wikipedia. The Seidel,K username is not only a sockpuppet but an impersonation of a critic, and it has been used to remove material from the Geier page that is critical of Geier.


 * Comments

The Wiki article needs editing and verification. It claims that Geier is board certified in medical genetics and forensic medicine. The American Board of Medical Specialties does not have a member board in forensic medicine. Further, www.abms.org, does not have a listing showing that Mark Geier is board certified in anything.

ACCURACY please!


 * Agreed, but these comments are more appropriate for the article's discussion page (Talk:Mark Geier) as they are not relevant to the sock puppet dispute. -- DaveSeidel 18:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

See Talk:Mark Geier -- Geier appears to be using yet another sock puppet: DHEA-S. -- DaveSeidel 21:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Seidel,K blocked as inappropriate username. Justice2day edited for November 10-12, DHEA-S edited in December 9-10, a month later. Even if these were the same person, I don't see any violation of WP:SOCK, as they didn't overlap or try to do anything by "weight of numbers". AnonEMouse (squeak) 22:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
