Recreation of a recently deleted article [1] by this new account "Kevinsimon" after two other accounts were the primary editors of the original deleted article. I am unable to link to the diffs for their edits on this particular article as the history was deleted for non-admins. But as I recall the Shawnwelling account posted a personal testimonial on the talk page of the article which the Janderson37 account had created the first time. The user name Janderson37 suggests a conflict of interest with the article subject as well, and digging around both the name Kevin Simon and Shawn Welling appear on several sites with Jason Anderson as well. On the Project Aether article, the Shawnwelling account is active, as well as two specific accounts focused just on Shawnwelling projects as well Special:Contributions/MotionG and Special:Contributions/DizneDeeva with one additional account focusing on a related project Special:Contributions/Laceelove. These are either all the same editor (Shawnwelling) or a meat puppet all with the purpose of editing the Jason Anderson, Project Aether, and other Shawnwelling related articles. All 5 accounts are just being used for promotion of Shawn Welling related movies, organizations, and people.ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 03:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

• Comment - I forgot to originally add the Kevinsimon account as well, which seems to have the same pattern. I've added it above. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 03:40, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

• Meat or sock? Let's find out. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 22:27, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Confirmed Shawnwelling = DizneDeeva = Janderson37 = Judy Dekay (talk · contribs). MotionG is  Possible based on geography. Laceelove is  Stale. Dominic·t 03:18, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Kevinsimon is also  Confirmed as part of the above group. Dominic·t 05:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
•  Administrator note Blocked and tagged the confirmed accounts; blocked the master 3 days for puppeting. I'm going to leave MotionG alone for now as it seems to have gone quiet, but relist if it picks up. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 03:52, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
