[[Latticework]] page now includes unverified reference to private company, the only edit made by this editor. I've asked for citation, but tempted to remove information as irrelevant to article.

{{Linksummary|plantdex.com}} This is a self-published, anonymous web site about plants. It isn't particularly spammish, barely has any ads beyond a few google ads, but it's not a reliable source for this project.

*{{Usersummary|Golb12}} Today Golb12 peppered the project with links to the site as inline sources and has used the site as a source in the past, though no one has posted warning on their talk page until I just did. I think user is unaware of WP policy and is using this source in good faith.

This guy tried to use his blog as a source in Breathe (Miss A song) as well as adding it to the body of the article. (diff) He's got at least two obvious sockpuppets: Davidzunigaga, Davidzuni_99.
Thatotherperson (talk/contribs) 06:00, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Update: I've opened a sockpuppet investigation, even though there's not much to "investigate". Thatotherperson (talk/contribs) 14:45, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Update #2: All three accounts are now blocked for sockpuppetry, so I guess that takes care of that. Thatotherperson (talk/contribs) 07:53, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
