These editors have been making the exact same POV pushing edits to Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal attributing the opinion of one critic as wholly representative of all critics.[1][2][3][4][5] All three accounts were recently created and have generally been editing the same set of articles. There is also a strong similarity between the user account names. —Farix (t | c) 13:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I found that the user TheProSamurai (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) did the same things to in Trust & Betrayal as well [6], as well as similar edits to Himura Kenshin [7]. Moreover, the names prosamurai and pinchsamurai made me suspect more.Tintor2 (talk) 14:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Administrator note Given that the IP has been autoblocked, has the same types of edits as the other socks, and has been blocked twice before for edit warring, I have TheProSamurai blocked 2 weeks for repeated edit warring and sockpuppetry. Other accounts blocked indef and tagged. Elockid ^(Talk) 21:24, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
