User:BballJones

Evidence

Edits from Getaway are suspicious for the following reasons:

1. They are working in tandem to revert edits to articles, like Stem cell research controversy.
2. Of all the articles in Wikipedia, the two users have intense interest in the same topics (like Condi Rice, Stem Cell Research, and Sam Brownback) which are not all that closely tied. See Getaway edits and BballJones edits.
3. Getaway, with only several days experience feels quite qualified to leave administrator-style notes on other people's talk pages explaining Wikipedia policy.
4. Getaway left a message on my page re Condi Rice which was strange because I have never edited that article (he meant to leave it regarding stem cell research controversy), but then BballJones expanded on the comment, also in regard to stem cell research, still without correcting the Condi Rice reference. I would have thought one of two people (if they were separate) would have got it right. See here for the edits.

BballJones is a friend of mine. And yes we work on the same topics. --Getaway 02:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I do feel qualified to tell Deet that he was adding personal commentary to an article. --Getaway 02:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

No, the fact that is was a wrong reference proves that two different people are involved. --Getaway 02:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The first comment was left after my first edit to stem cells, the second after the second revert. It's also strange that they both felt the need to write notes on the talk page rather than just edit the article as is normal when you disagree with what is written. Two people with the identical interest in articles, identical thoughts as to how they should be written, and identical approaches to editing articles and talk pages. Are you friends or identical twins? Deet 12:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
