 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Daedalus969

The suspected sockpuppet was created not long after the suspected master. Both users appear to be editing hoax articles which are now up for deletion, so please view the deleted contribs if those articles are deleted by the time this request is reviewed.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  08:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I endorse this request. This was a particularly clever hoax, and had an editor not stumbled on a 4chan thread pointing here, we would not have caught on (no red flags on the article creation). Protonk (talk) 08:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I know this may be fishing, but we should at least check to see if a sockfarm exists here. If what ever advertising agency did create a sock, they likely created more, and the two related hoaxes could be just the tip of the iceberg.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  08:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
