There appears to be a long history of WP:SPA users associated with the "Wissot Team" and the two pages most associated with them:
 * Evidence
 * Michael Wissot
 * The 10 People Who Suck

User User:ArmadilloFromHell first noted this on Talk:Michael Wissot in January 2007:

 The bulk of this article has been created by a single purpose account. -- Armadillo From Hell GateBridge 02:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It is noted that right after the above message was posted, the autobiography tag was removed, and two new single purpose (?sockpuppet) accounts edited the article. -- Armadillo From Hell GateBridge 22:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)}}

Referring to SPA User:Metafuser and User:InTheArena.

After Michael Wissot was nomiated for AfD, SPA User: Sidstand appeared and
 * Removed the Afd Notice from the Michael Wissot article along with problem templates and maintainence templates (edit []) - this was Sidstand's first edit ever
 * Blanked Talk:Michael Wissot where Armadillo posted the above comments (edit [])
 * Blanked the Articles for deletion/Michael Wissot (edit [])

These were all reverted and SPA User:Shinertone appeared:
 * Undid the edits restoring the Afd Notice from the Michael Wissot article along with problem templates and maintainence templates (edit []) - this was shinerstone's first edit ever
 * Removed two votes for 'Delete from Articles for deletion/Michael Wissot and added an unsigned keep with a misleading edit summary (edit [])

Then SPA User:Screenwood posted support for keeping Michael Wissot on Articles for deletion/Michael Wissot - his/her first edit ever (edit [])

 * Conclusions


 * These are obvious socks used for a spamming campaign. I'm going to block all the accounts, but if this person would like to keep an account active and edit according to policy, we should let that happen. --Akhilleus (talk) 07:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
