User: Rick Otton

Other editors have been editing the user page over time as if it was an article. In reality it is an article as a Google search for Otton went straight to his Wikipedia user page.
As the old saying goes "if it walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, then it is", Rick Otton (with no other edits on Wikipedia) has is using his talk page as a defacto article.

The editor who uploaded Otton's profile photo on commons also works for Otton's company WBH - We buy houses.
