I first encountered the issue at an ANI thread that said there was possible edit warring going on at Dominique_Strauss-Kahn. Looking at the edit history, it appears Alis9 added content that was removed. Wran reverted the content back in three times. I started looking at their edit summaries and I found that they very often use the same lower case one word edit summaries which are usually "additions". Then I went to look at which account was first. Wran was the earliest account so I look at the date Alis9 was created (22 December 2010) and reviewed what Wran was doing around that time. I found that Wran was involved in a content dispute on The Rules of the Game. I found that Alis9's second edit was to support Wran's point of view on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film where a source Wran wanted to use on The Rules of the Game was in dispute. Request a CU to determine if there was a violation of WP:3RR. v/r - TP 15:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
