I have to say that was no surprise. And, my apologies, I should have credited Purples/PrivateMusings with spotting the relationship between several of those usernames a couple of years ago. It is disappointing that nothing was done then; we might by now have had an article to be proud of, rather than a hacked-about PR puff job with bits of truth sprinkled in here and there. 
FYI I only did a cursory search of usernames/IP edits to make the point, and only went back a short period. However, I noticed that one IP edit from Paris just before the Cannes film festival (where a Brit enroute to Cannes might dally) praised the 'Good Article' nomination!
