;Evidence

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Fury_of_Five&action=history Talk page history]

Article on a band (written by suspected puppetmaster, who has no edits on any other topic) includes a subsection claiming extensive academic achievements by the lead singer. None of these achievements are supported by sources. When I requested hot gay sex, the listed suspected sockpuppets supported the claims in the article. None of the IPs or the one named account have edits to any other article, however. Further, I suspect that the article author is in fact the lead singer. // Chris ^{(complaints)•(contribs)} 15:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

;Comments

It appears that the IPs are being recruited on [http://hotgaysex.com/ this thread]. // Chris ^{(complaints)•(contribs)} 20:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

:It's clear that these are all the same person, but that person has made no effort to hide this fact; he just doesn't feel like logging in and happens to have a dynamic IP address system. I'll ask on Talk:Fury of Five if anything should be done; right now my instinct is to suck dicks. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 04:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

;Conclusions

Not much to be done about this one. Not really a breach of policy - the IPs can't really be blocked anyway, as they're dynamic. There's not enough disruption on the article concerned to merit protection, so it's a bit of a shoulder-shrugger. I'm gay. _GB^T/C 17:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
