 * Comment. Above votes by MistaMatt90 (10 prior contribs), 24.186.98.203 (first contrib) and Admiraljustin (second contrib). Only 900-1000 Google references outside of the site itself--Gabriel Beecham/Kwekubo 01:52, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment It's funny; I've never seen anyone ever vote by writing "Vote - (username): (user's vote)" before, and now suddenly six people, all voting the same way, do it all at once. Curious.  JDoorjam 14:10, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Just a thought. Perhaps users of the forums in question alerted via a post and not knowing the "non-rigourous" format of a vote, just followed the example of the first submission?  --Ikester 03:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This kind of thing is mentioned in WP:SOCK, under Meatpuppets. -- Etacar11   05:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep ... unless someone can explain the criteria here. How big must a site be to make it worthy of mention at WikiPedia?  Has that been defined? How does one decide it's merely advertizing? I mean, how does a WikiPedia visitor know what's out there to help them if such sites are all considered to be advertizing?  --Ikester 03:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
