Stetsonharry started 2 March 2008, mostly edits popular culture
Bassettcat started 29 March 2008, mostly edits finance
Both: started during or just after the recent Matanmoreland arb.case., and both edits Patrick M. Byrne‎ ..in perfect agreement, to remove positive information on Byrne,[7], [8] and to add more negative inf. instead.

And William Ortiz noted on AN/I that "Bassettcat has edits like the accounts named in the Mantantmoreland arbitration such as [9] [10] those two make the article more negative to Byrne."[11]

Also: John Nevard (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) might not be the same as any of the above, but s/he is editing the same articles on probation, with the same POV. This might be a problem, since s/he stated on his/her userpage 21 October 2007: "I have another account.." [12] and the articles on probation should be edited "from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account",

I am most concerned with the articles on probation that these editors edit; Patrick M. Byrne‎, Naked short selling, Overstock.com, and that all editors comply with the General sanctions Imposed by the Committee for these articles (which includes not editing through any form of proxy configuration.)

Note also that some anon has noted this on AN/I: Articles on "probation" problems and on WP:AE: "Probation" violations? Regards, Huldra (talk) 11:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
