 * Comments by other users


 * Likeliest story is that this guy posted "Save my article!" in some forum and his buddies rallied to the rescue. I think they should still all be blocked because they're likely to get indignant when the article inevitably gets trashed, but making an SPA isn't necessarily a blockable offense, I guess.

 * CheckUser requests

Given that the accounts seem to have gone to the trouble of playing silly games here, with tag team denials, and given that the vote stacking could, if it hadn't been spotted, have affected the outcome, added a RFCU request to settle the issue. Mayalld (talk) 12:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
