Sockpuppet case
Hey, KB! Just FYI, since you have encountered this editor and edited many of these articles, you might want to take a peek at the sockpuppetry case involving CovertAffairs22, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/RoyalPains11#20_January_2011.

- I've been following it, but wasn't really sure what to do about it. Looks like it's closed now, though. Thanks! Hopefully we won't encounter more of this stuff in the future. Kevinbrogers (talk) 04:21, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- One can but hope... Drmargi (talk) 05:26, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey Kevin, saw the conversation that you two are having about the list of White Collar characters and thought I'd throw out one pointer. I have limited experience with such articles (been meaning to overhaul the one for True Blood for ages but can never find the time) but I do know that the character infoboxes aren't supposed to be used except for single character pages. A couple of pages on my watchlist have had these pulled by far more experienced editors than I (I know True Blood was one I saw this happen on, can't recall the others, sorry). It definitely helps keep the page looking cleaner in the long run.
Let me know when your article goes live; I watch all the other pages related to that show so I might as well round out my collection. :D Millahnna (talk) 04:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, okay. That makes sense. I'll remove them as I go (they help me a little with the writing), but thanks for the tip! Kevinbrogers (talk) 05:00, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Italicized episode names
Thanks for fixing my mistake on Messianic Myths and Ancient Peoples — I was unaware of that particular nuance of WP:MOSTITLE. I've edited #Italics to make it clearer. By the way, it seems that the list of examples at WP:ITALIC (in WP:MOSTEXT) is out of sync with the list at WP:MOSTITLE#Italics. Should one of them maybe be transcluded from the other for consistency? Feezo (Talk) 11:23, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Neal Caffrey is one of the world's greatest con artists. Caffrey was an elusive criminal, and a three year game of cat and mouse with the FBI and Special Agent Peter Burke resulted in his capture. Though Caffrey was suspected of counterfeiting, securities fraud, art theft and racketeering among others, he was only convicted of bond forgery. After a visit from his girlfriend, Kate Moreau, Caffrey learns she has disappeared and with only three months left on his four-year prison sentence, he escapes from prison dressed as a cop all while executing his escape with the utmost precision. While he tries to find her, he is recaptured by Burke. To avoid going back to prison, Neal makes a deal with Burke to help him find the criminal Burke is hunting. After successfully apprehending the criminal, Burke signs a work-release program with Caffrey and thus Cafferey becomes a consultant to the FBI.
Neal's charm proves to work for his advantage in many instances. When Neal is released from prison to work with the FBI, he is given a ratty motel room the FBI rented for him. While browsing in a thrift store, the day after his first night in the motel, Neal befriends a widow named June who was donating her late husband's couturier suits. Neal is taken on as a boarder in the rich widow's townhouse. He acquires not only a more than comfortable residence but also a new wardrobe of expensive suits, shoes, and hats which become a signature look. A jealous Agent Burke tells June that Neal is a felon but he gets to know that June's ex-husband too was a felon.
In the episode 'Forging Bonds', it is revealed that Neal began his career as a con-man when he met Mozzie, targeting a CEO named Vincent Adler. It was with Adler that Neal first encountered a fractal, as well as Alexandra Hunter and his long-time girlfriend Kate, for whom he sacrificed the con on Adler. Adler eventually disappeared, taking more than a billion US dollars and leaving all of his employees jobless and without pay.
Broke and unemployed, Neal chose to tell Kate about his true profession. After this, Neal, Kate, and Mozzie began running scams together, until one day Neal tries to sweet-talk Kate into leaving for Europe. When Neal mentions Copenhagen to her, Kate gets upset and reveals that she knows about the music box job that Alex told him about. She accused him of trying to con her and stayed in New York when Neal left for Copenhagen. As tha job was a three-person job, it failed without her, forcing Neal to leave Alex in a French hospital and escape back to New York.
Upon his return, Neal discovers that Kate is hiding from him and eventually starts doing bigger cons and forgeries, trying to catch her attention. The FBI eventually track Kate down and realize that Caffrey has no idea where she is, so they set up a trap for him to find her, where they finally catch him.
In the episode 'What Happens In Burma,' Neal mentions that his father died when he was two years old. His mother told him that his father "went out in a hail of gunfire taking out a whole gang of bad guys," and Neal grew up wanting to be just like his dad. It was in this period that he "got really good with guns." However, at the end of the episode, Neal finally admits to Peter that his dad was a dirty cop, and that his mother only told him what children would want to hear about their fathers. It is implied that learning the truth about his father was what started Neal down the criminal path and that "being bad in in his (Neal's) blood."
Little else is known about Neal's past, other than the fact he didn't even finish high school. His extensive knowledge of art and history is apparently self-taught.
