Suspected sockpuppets


See the Alpha et Omega article. These three users appear to be engaging in meat puppetry. Magus007 is the moniker in the blogosphere of the author Nick Farrell as can be seen here: //twitter.com/Magus007 . In other words, this editor is the author himself adding his own books to the article as references. Two other editors enter the discussion fully supporting the author's self-promoting behavior one of whom (JMax555 who is Joseph Max) is a member of an organization friendly to the author. One example of this affiliation can be sen at the author's publishing house Kerubim Press website: http://kerubimpress.com/2013/05/announcing-commentaries-on-the-golden-dawn-flying-rolls/ . If one googles these names there is plenty of evidence. Additionally, these three editors have collaborated together before in a similar way in support of the author Pat Zalewski. For example, see the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pat Zalewski (2nd nomination) discussion. Pat Zalewski, incidentally, is an author strongly allied with the author Nick Farrell as an internet search will show. For example, this amazon advertisement for the book shows Zalewski as one of the contributing authors to Farrell's book: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/B006O0NYSU. Finally, if one checks the contributions of these editors one will see very similar pages being edited with very similar affiliations. LEpstein5 (talk) 17:46, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
