- Samiharris (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Mantanmoreland (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Code letter: G
- Supporting evidence: In this diff User:Mantanmoreland answers a question clearly and specifically asked of User:Samiharris, though Mantanmoreland hadn't been to that page for many months.
In case it's not clear, here's how that conversation unfolded:
- User:Dozen13 leaves a comment
- User:Samiharris responds
- User:Dozen13 responds, adding: "I'll wait for your response."
- User:Mantanmoreland seems to answer as Samiharris.
I started paying attention to Mantanmoreland and Samiharris a while ago because they're both active on the kinds of finance articles that interest me. Soon I noticed that they have nearly identical writing styles and always seem to be arguing about the same points, one picking up where the other left off, on articles such as:
(NOTE: before they were merged with Microcap stock fraud Samiharris and Mantanmoreland constantly backed each other up on Pump and dump and Chop stock as well)
- Naked short selling (see above)
- Thom Calandra
And then there are plenty of other examples I found in about 5 minutes of looking, including:
Based on their shared style, constant proximity and singular mindset I suspect Mantanmoreland and Samiharris are being deceitfully used by the same person or people working together and wish to have CheckUser carried out to confirm it or rule it out. Palabrazo (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't for a minute think that Palabrazo is a curious bystander who just happened across this request. However, based on the standards I usually use, and pretending I don't know the history here, the evidence is sufficient to run a check. The answer is
Inconclusive because one of these editors has only edited via open proxies. Thatcher 01:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
