| I sent this information to a checkuser, ], who reported that all of the listed accounts have used IPs registered to the TM movement, in two locations, and that there were other significant similarities and overlaps between them. This is a request to confirm those findings and to determine whether ] has been violated. | |||
| The ] (MUM) is located in the small town of ], the U.S. headquarters of the ]. MUM is responsible for producing hundreds of studies showing the efficacy of TM technologies and products, some considered fringe theories or pseudoscience, which these editors have repeatedly added to articles. | |||
| (Note: Detractors of TM from Fairfield, IA, have also used IPs in these ranges to vandalize or add negative remarks about it. It's just a few edits, but they may be confusing.) | |||
| ;'''IPs''' | |||
| Several of these users have made edits while logged out, disclosing their IPs. The IPs belong to MUM or its ISP. I can send that information by email. | |||
| ;'''Sock or meat puppet behaviors''' | |||
| These accounts all promote the same POV. For some accounts this topic is their single purpose, while for the rest it is their primary focus. Collectively, they have made nearly half of all edits to the main articles, and a larger percentage in the minor articles. They also make a large majority of the talk page postings. Noticeboard filings about the topic have received strong responses from these accounts. (For example, four of the accounts participated in a WP:BLPN thread about a TM leader: | |||
