- Code letter: G
- Supporting evidence: See WP:COIN thread. In addition, see edit histories of Tahir Shah ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), The Sufis ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Above user names and IPs tend to be or become active periodically around the same time, making edits of a broadly promotional nature to articles related to Tahir Shah (a notable author known to reside in Casablanca, Morocco). The IPs appear to be Casablancan.
- Edits to Tahir Shah ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) alternating between one of the above IPs and Coldwinterday ( talk · contribs) within minutes of each other on 19 September 2008.
- Edits to Tahir Shah ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) alternating between one of the above IPs and Mikegooderson ( talk · contribs) within minutes of each other on 14 December 2006.
- Edits to Tahir Shah ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) alternating between one of the above IPs and Mikegooderson ( talk · contribs) within minutes of each other on 30 May 2006.
- Edits to The Sufis ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) alternating between Olivespread ( talk · contribs) and Mikegooderson ( talk · contribs) within minutes of each other (and within minutes of article creation).
- Also similar alternations between Mikegooderson ( talk · contribs) and two Kuwaiti IPs in Tahir Shah ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), e.g. on 12 December 2006.
- Mikegooderson ( talk · contribs), Olivespread ( talk · contribs) and Coldwinterday ( talk · contribs) tend to create articles with info boxes present in the first version; not a bad thing to do, but relatively unusual for novice editors and/or editors with limited editing experience.
- Recurrent copyright problems with texts and images uploaded by Mikegooderson ( talk · contribs) and Coldwinterday ( talk · contribs).
- Suspected sockpuppet (or meatpuppet) activity. Something is not quite right. Jayen 466 00:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Confirmed that Mikegooderson and Coldwinterday are the same user.
Olivespread is 
Possible.

Clerk note: Blocked Coldwinterday (confirmed) and Olivespread (suspected/probable based on behavior) indefinitely and blocked Mikegooderson for 48 hours. —

Clerk note: Olivespread has protested his/her innocence and, taken with the "possible" checkuser result, I have unblocked. Please advise if the technical evidence was stronger than implied here. —

- There are factors that prevent me from ruling it out. The technical evidence is certainly not enough to base a block on. In retrospect, a better answer would have been
Inconclusive. Apologies for the infelicitous phrasing.

- Coincidences can and do happen. But I confess that Mikegooderson ( talk · contribs) accidentally becoming aware of The Sufis – a then-orphaned new article – within 7 minutes of its being created by a first-time editor somehow strikes me as a long shot. Still, in dubio pro reo and all that. Thanks, Jayen 466 21:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
