 * Evidence
 * Mharvey23's first edit blanked Nirvanix. I reverted it within 4 minutes only to have them revert my revert seconds later. Xxxsacheinxxx reverted the revert^2 a minute later.
 * Mharvey23 was warned and then warned again.
 * Suspected sock Yellowdude89 then appeared and 'Blanked the page' (their own comment) 4 minutes later. This blank was immediately reverted by J.delanoy.
 * Twenty minutes later Yellowdude89 nominated the article for deletion. At the time of writing however they had not created the article's entry in AfD so it's not clear whether we should undo this edit as vandalism.


 * Comments
 * The puppetmaster Mharvey23 appears to be Nirvanix's PR contact at JPR communications, Matthew Harvey. User was already warned about COI and 3RR.
 * The only edits made by both puppetmaster and puppet are vandalism/blanking of the Nirvanix article.
 * Nirvanix has motive to try to rewrite history (Streamload/MediaMax/TheLinkup death spiral dogs Nirvanix)
 * Have requested checkuser for good measure.MediaMob (talk) 22:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * that the suspected 'puppet is operated by the sock master. I have blocked Yellowdude indefinitely, and Mharvey23 for 12 hours; both are tagged as appropriate. Anthøny  02:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
