Spin on Wikipedia
Wikipedia has uploaded (commons:Special:Contributions/Imagefactory101) several photos of individuals who all appear to be Harris Media clients while claiming to have taken all of the professional-looking photographs personally.

The user has also created a number of articles for Harris Media clients and made POV edits, for example here adding an assertion that a journalist critical of the candidate is a Communist (a claim also made in the candidate's campaign advertisements - From the Desk of Bill Binnie (campaign advertisement) published in the  on page A5 on 2010-08-18). In an apparent case of, editing was coordinated with another account.

Here an account creates the article for the candidate Mike Montandon and then the same account creates the article for Gilbert Baker, and also edited articles such as those of Nicholas Van Campen Taylor and William Harrison Binnie.
