StanPrimmer's only edit so far is this one to the Articles for deletion/Stephen Coles, which relates to the founder of the Gerontology Research Group. The User:Ryoung122 (aka Robert Young (longevity claims researcher)) is a member of the Gerontology Research Group, and a passionate defender of articles in any way related to it. The verbose style of the contribution is somewhat more organised than that of Young, so it might be a slightly chilled Young, or alternatively his colleague Stan Primmer (see http://www.grg.org/resources/SRFSPrimmer1.htm). If it is the real Primmer, doesn't this fit the definition of meatpupptery? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Evidence
 * Note: the second contribution has common "cut and paste" style, (e.g. the bit about the three documents) which are common to both edits, yet really appropriate to neither point.  This pattern matches the User:Ryoung122 editing style. Pete.Hurd 01:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

If you check the IP address you'll see that this is NOT a sockpuppet. It's not even from the same state.131.96.70.143 02:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The irony. A real person accused and blocked as an "obvious sockpuppet," by two bunches of anonymous electrons calling themselves "Maxim" and "BrownHairedGirl." LOL. Dr. Coles and I both have peer reviewed publications in gerontology, available on PUBMED. How many do the both of YOU have? So what makes you think either of you know what the devil you're talking about, here? Inquiring minds want to know. You couldn't deal with refs with quotes from Coles in the L.A. Times about his field? So you're going to go after the messenger? Well, you put your foot in it.  S  B Harris 02:58, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
