Evidence

Extensive edits on Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine and the related Joseph Nechvatal. Twinkletellus removed tags (for primary sources and NPOV on Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine). After a warning, the edit was undone by Oidkdufjggd a new, single-purpose (and seemingly quickly named) account which was apparently created to remove the tags (with claims of being a neutral third-party). Tellus archivist appears to be the main account.

Comments

This is pretty clear to me. There's no way that three different people happened to edit the same article which one of them created just two days ago, and these users haven't established any distinct identity outside this article. The gibberish username could be blocked as a username violation, and Twinkletellus should be blocked as a single-purpose account that's likely to be a sockpuppet. Tellus archivist, as the article creator, should be treated as the main account. No block for him, but he should be warned. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Conclusions

Two seperate people have tried to improve the article working from the same office on different computers. The accusation is false. I have just added two outside references to the article so as to improve it.
