Talk:The Hipsters

Potential conflict of interest

I have flagged this article with the COI tag as it was the first article of a user called HipsterBoys (talk · contribs). While there is nothing wrong with the user name, it does suggest that the editor may have a close relationship with the subject. Also the article reads as unusually positive; has the editor selected the best reviews to support the article and skipped over any negative ones? Road Wizard (talk) 23:37, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

User User talk:HipsterBoys has already clarified his status, writing "I'm only editing on behalf of myself, not a member of a company or organisation of the sort". Assuming good faith, and in the complete absence of evidence to the contrary, I have removed the COI tag. - Crosbie 20:23, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

HipsterBoys has now been identified as a sock puppet of a permanently banned user. I am not sure how the article should be treated in this situation. Road Wizard (talk) 17:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't see anything much wrong with the article. It shouldn't have been created by 'HipsterBoys' a.k.a.'Marquis de la Eirron', but it was. The user has been removed but there is no reason to remove the article. - Crosbie 18:31, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
