- Evidence
Both users have registered a keep vote in the same discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lulu Popplewell ([1], [2]), both editors have followed the same vandalism pattern of removing the afd nomination tag in Lulu Popplewell ([3], [4], [5], [6]) and both users have a similar editing pattern of Hollyoaks characters (see contribs, but of particular note is the recurring edit [7] and [8]). Only a minor case, but of particular concern to the validity and accuracy of an afd discussion. -- Roleplayer (talk) 20:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note: both have now registered a vote in the another afd discussion. -- Roleplayer (talk) 15:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- Note: suspected sockpuppeteer has been blocked from editing temporarily; second account may be an attempt to evade the block. -- Roleplayer (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree: per original submission comments. The second account was set up not long after the first account was blocked / last edited, and does have similar editing patterns to the first account. They also seem to be the only two accounts editing on the Lulu article (except for editors reverting their deletion of the AfD tags). ~~ [Jam][talk] 15:55, 10 March 2008
- Disagree I am definitely not Blonddude Gone Dark's second account. I am his relative and I help him out. We are not Vandals, we just know some things that other people don't (therefore they believe it's not true) xxZaydenxx —Preceding unsigned comment added by XxZaydenxx (talk • contribs) 08:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- So you agree to conspiring together then? I'm sure that still counts as sockpuppeting (probably meatpuppeting). ~~ [Jam][talk] 11:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
If not socks, meats, as the first account is still dormant after the block ran out and the second account is still active and started right after the block on the first one. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Blocked both 48 hours for socking, with a strong suspicion they are the same person, suggest close watching. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
