The following users are single-purpose accounts created for the purpose of editing the 1worldspace article. The user 1worldspace first deleted criticism and negative financial statistics from the corporation's article. After I restored the statistics and rewrote the article to clear up major POV and promotional problems, Thetruthtruth reverted my edits saying they were biased against the company, although I gave detailed explanation of the reasons of the revision on the article's talk page. 65.216.176.5, who's IP belongs to the corporation, jumped in and reverted the article and then disappeared when his talk page was tagged saying the IP originated from 1worldspace. A user Briskfix now enters and says he agrees with Thetruthtruth and reverts the article again. After I cleaned his edits up, Enlitened one comes in saying he agrees with me while practically reverting the article to its prior stance.
 * Evidence

All of these accounts are single-purpose and outside of 1worldspace they all focus on restoring the article to a highly problematic state; filled with POV, fictitious claims, and promotional language. You can find my recent revision here which attempted to clean up the problems with the article that still exists in its current form.


 * Comments
 * User:1worldspace is an easy username violation. I'll go over to WP:UAA. The rest are also pretty obvious. Maybe we should get a checkuser to confirm it. Paragon  12321  16:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I blocked User:1worldspace for the username violation, which as you say is obvious, but looking at the edits, it would appear that User:1worldspace removed criticism of the company in early August here and here, while User:Thetruthtruth restored similar criticism here. Of course, that does not prove that they are not the same user but I'm not sure what to make of it. --MCB (talk) 17:52, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I thought those edits were strange as well. I figured that once the person realised how blatantly obvious those reversions were, especially with all of the criticism being cited, he decided it was best to hide that material under lots of detailed information arranged in a positive (and biased) manner.

Allow me to understand this claim. I am being marked for sock puppetry because I agreed with what somebody wrote? There is no doubt in my mind that 1worldspace is a member of worldspace, it only makes sense seeing that somebody from the company's IP address responded, but allow me to bring up the track record of Themfromspace, who has been THE ONLY USER offended by any changes made to the site. I assume that Griffendd is a puppet as well? Simply because the user agrees with what thetruthtruht and enlightened one have said. I am a new user to wikipedia, fine, 1worldspace was my first article...does that make me a sock puppet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Briskfix (talk • contribs) 13:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I think ThemfromSpace is mad that people don't agree with him. Poor darling. Sweetheart, I suppose that rather than accept facts that I have posted, you have chosen to revert all of my edits. More than that, he has accused me of being a sock puppet. Imagine my surprise to see this message when I signed on wikipedia. I would like to add that Themfromspace's contribution record should be taken into strong consideration. Just as stated above, he has had nothing positive to say about the company and continues to litter the page with defamatory material. I would like to advise that user to keep his baggage at the door before he makes contributions to this site. As for this sock puppet claim, I would like to understand why I am being brought into this, considering that I only searched the company's 10-K to add citations where they were needed. Aside from that, I made sure that the unnecessarily complicated worldspace system was explained. If anybody has the impression that it is a simple or easy system, as was previously noted, they are sadly mistaken. Even potential investors will be scratching their heads. I do not know how this situation gets resolved, but I would really appreciate if the administrators would fix this quickly. As much as I am flattered by the blue writing for my username, this sock puppet business is an insult. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enlitened one (talk • contribs) 02:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
