Evidence submitted by Guy M

User:Vernonheng was repeatedly informed (Ref: User talk:Vernonheng) of WP:COI and WP:COPYRIGHT violations to BioSlimDisk, and eventually blocked on Feb 7, 2010 from editing. Vernonheng made 4 attempts to become unblocked, each being denied. User:Mightymagicland was created after the block was upheld. As of March 22, 2010 5:00 PST, Mightymagicland has only made 7 edits (Special:Contributions/Mightymagicland), all to the same page that was targeted by Vernonheng. _{Guy M | Talk} 12:36, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was one of the initial users dealing with this article, along with Guy and User:Dougweller. This account exhibits all the behaviour of an SPA, and its actions scream WP:DUCK at me for socking concerns. Sorry to assume bad faith, but I'd assume the month-long gap between edits is a hope from somebody not familiar with Wikipedia to push people "off the scent", as it were. User:Vernonheng actually discussed things - Mightymagicland doesn't. While this is a discrepancy in behaviour, it might well be that the person behind this has decided that talking isn't the way to resolve this given the multiple denied unblock requests, refusal to allow "his" version of the article, and so on.

I saw these edits this morning and they raised similar concerns for me. I'd like a CU check, although I agree the edits go quackquack. Dougweller (talk) 14:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
