Evidence

• Very similar rebuttal from "Waitformyturn" on [[Talk:(({1))}]] ([((fullurl:Talk:(({1))}|action=edit)) edit] | [[:(({1))}|article]] | [((fullurl:Talk:(({1))}|action=history)) history] | [((fullurl:Special:Whatlinkshere/Talk:(({1))))} links] | [((fullurl:Talk:(({1))}|action=watch)) watch] | logs)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Peter_Max_Lawrence&diff=247509837&oldid=246853580 to a defense by the "real" Peter Max Lawrence on [[Talk:(({1))}]] ([((fullurl:Talk:(({1))}|action=edit)) edit] | [[:(({1))}|article]] | [((fullurl:Talk:(({1))}|action=history)) history] | [((fullurl:Special:Whatlinkshere/Talk:(({1))))} links] | [((fullurl:Talk:(({1))}|action=watch)) watch] | logs)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Peter_Max_Lawrence&diff=247509837&oldid=247401853. Also, it seems that in the same talk page "Petermaxlawrence" freely admits to using the "Whitler Pratphall" as his alias. Several forms of that name are all over the history of this article, and strongly supports my claim that this article was written by Peter Max Lawrence himself, and all the controversy since then has been mostly brought on by himself in an attempt to cover up the fact he most likely created this article. Also, "Waitformyturn" removed the delete template I put up: see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peter_Max_Lawrence&diff=246862756&oldid=246171795

Conclusions

Checkuser is inconclusive except that Verdequete is unrelated to the others. Closing admin handle based on behavior and edits please. — Rlevse • Talk • 15:19, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• With the exception of Verdequete, the pattern of behavior and edits from the other accounts are sufficiently similar to establish disruptive sockpuppetry. Blocking all accounts with the exception of Verdequete. Dreadstar † 01:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
