Evidence

The evidence relates to the contribution history (and seemingly instantly found co-operation) of both these accounts.

I strongly suspect that this is a case of sockpuppetry. Articles Timperley and Altrincham have been subjected to repeated inclusions of a POV trivial unsourced (and frankly untrue) statement.

I've left warnings and messages of policy support at User Talk:137.205.8.2 which promptly provoked the creation of User:Bob74 (which recieved a very similar message from myself) whom in turn left both this and this incivility.

I suspect the new account User:Chiving (given their comparable edit history and agenda) was set up simply as a means to add weight to this conjecture.

A swift investigation would be helpful. Jhamez84 18:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Erm.... why was this never investigated? Jhamez84 02:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Closign without prejudice. The case has been open for two months (massive backlog), during which neither of the named accounts has edited. Also note that the dispute seems to be over one uncited, but not horribly offensive, sentence. AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 19:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
