I was looking through the Edit Filter Log to see if there was any simple vandalism I could help revert when I came across this article, Josh Kempin. I noticed that the only major edits on it were people reverting a properly placed speedy deletion tag placed by Allthefoxes. The original author of the article was APCBasketball and this is the only edit the person has made other than adding a comma to another article. The next person to edit the article was HessyMate (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Josh_Kempin&type=revision&diff=693194267&oldid=693189934) and that person removed the speedy deletion tag and that is this person's only edit to Wikipedia. The final current edit at the time of writing was done by Head1999 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Josh_Kempin&diff=next&oldid=693195908) whose only edit is removing the speedy deletion tag. I do not know if this is APCBasketball's friends helping this person out or this person creating throwaway accounts like Head1999 to try to keep the article on Wikipedia, but I found the behavior highly suspect of sockpupperty. Recent update, Wackomate is following the same pattern as the other suspected socks.This report needs checkuser permission to see if in fact it is the same person using these accounts. Thank you for investigating this case. In veritas (talk) 01:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
