This case has its roots in a content dispute over media that should be included on the Joachim Peiper biography page. I first introduced an image from the newly released German Federal Archives which I believe is superior to the small and grainy existing image in hopes of improving the encyclopedia. I assumed this would be greeted with support from the history buffs, since high-quality images like this were extremely rare. To my surprise, over the next few days the image was reverted several times by a series of seemingly unrelated IP users accusing me of "vandalism": [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] followed by the registered account [ [6]]. After both receiving warnings from a project admin about good faith edit warring I recognized the pattern and questioned Mariaflores1955 about the use of sock puppets, she responded by saying these were her "colleagues": [7] and "others": [8]. Not surprisingly, these "collegues" also happen to originate in London, UK, where the accused user allegedly works or resides (as stated on her introduction page: [9]). After both receiving a warning from the involved admin, discussion ensued, but Mariaflores1955 could not restrain herself from reverting any remaining images of hers that were removed. After one more revert from myself, another IP adress quickly stepped in to revert me yet again: [10]. I then informed Mariaflores1955 that she would be reviewed for sock puppetry and she then admitted to using an IP [11], claiming a browser session time-out. Her continued reverts under different IP's, constant and unwarranted accusations of vandalism and stubborn personal attachment to any changes or contributions made by her prove that this user is not acting in the best of faith.
