Suspected sockpuppets

User:Pamela Gardiner started linking heavily to btoe.com in October 2011. On October the 27th she was informed that the poll site was not a reliable source, at which point she stopped adding it into articles (making exceptions for a few recently deceased public figures) and instead focused on articles related to btoe.com's founder.

The MelanieB2 account was created on October the 28th, followed by the GeorgeB3 account in November, both of which have (beyond editing the article about bteo.com's founder) done nothing but add more links to btoe.com, largely in the format of "X was voted the best Y in the world by users of btoe.com", with "best Y in the world" being a hyperlink to a poll at bteo.com. At one point, Pamela Gardiner corrected a link that had been added by MelanieB2.

The two Arthurs appeared in January to make similar edits, both adding the same inline bteo.com links to
