Evidence

User is a single-purpose account, created solely for the purpose of reverting the page Center for Consumer Freedom (edit history: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Center_for_Consumer_Freedom&action=history). The puppetmaster is Arthurberkhardt (contribs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Arthurberkhardt). The purpose of the sock-puppet account is to violate WP:3RR, see the following reverts:

The incorrect use of rvv (revert vandalism) by both, as well as the listing of the version number is evidence that the users are the same. The insistence by each of the accounts that each user is reverting to the other, when in fact all four reversions are exactly the same is also suspicious. The fact that Terryfielen22 has no other edits is extremely suspicious. The two-edit user, Terryfilene22 also has a rather odd edit summary: "you keep eliminating the tobacco funding statement Nssdfdsfds, so you are the vandal", which exactly consistent with what user Arthurberkhardt is saying on the page's talk page [1], namely that the introduction to the article should say that the group is funded by tobacco companies, despite the fact that there is no evidence for this. Both users are arguing the same point: that the article should, without evidence, contradict what the group itself says.

Clearly the evidence is compelling that Terryfilene22 is a sockpuppet created to circumvent WP:3RR. Both users should be blocked for breaking the rules in such an underhand way. It is also notable that neither puppet nor puppetmaster has made any proper edits to the page, excepting reverts, and a single addition of a URL (which is non-controversial).

User is also well-aware of the 3 revert rule policy: [2]

Comments

I have no affiliation with terryfilene22. Administrators on Wikipedia can check my IP address to be absolutely sure of this. A lot of people find the Center for Consumer Freedom to be a controversial group, so it's not surprising that people would feel strongly about Nssdfdsfds's dubious pro-CCF edits Arthurberkhardt 02:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

It's a bit odd that both users commented at Wikipedia:Peer review/Pennsylvania State University/archive1 on Feb 13, since Terryfilene22 and Arthurberkhardt are the only commenters there, and Terryfilene has a grand total of 4 edits on Wikipedia. --Akhilleus (talk) 07:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
