Both the 2601 IP and DarknezFlorida vandalized Watergate scandal:. The 99 IP also vandalized the page, using the similar "Astral Kustom" language:. DarknezFlorida mentioned "Astral" again here:. DarknezFlorida created Skype High, when it got CSD'd/nominated for deletion, the 2601 IP removed the tag thrice:. Babyface asked not to delete the page, as it is "under work":. It was the user's first edit -- in my opinion, it is rather unusual for a newbie's first edit to be contesting deletion of a page. Even vandals typically make silly test edits, and other users usually create userpages or take tentative first steps. Both Babyface and DarknezFlorida were created rather close together, too: In my opinion, it is either meatpuppetry or socking for Babyface + DarknezFlorida, and clear IP socking for DarknezFlorida.

 * I have added more IPs -- the diffs are either below, or it is apparent from the contribs that they are related (same articles, similar types of vandalism and language, etc.) Please be advised that there may or may not be more IPs ("unindicted co-conspirators") that I simply missed. To clerks: I have placed the SPI under Babyface, as it was the older of the two registered accounts, even though it doesn't make sense from a chronological standpoint.

 * It seems that IP 70.68.166.5 may also be a sock. This IP also contested the CSD of Skype High on its talk, plus edited Pembroke Pines. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:16, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * See here: . Also, see this and this by DarknezFlorida -- there has been sock activity on Mayodan, North Carolina as well as on Pembroke Pines, Florida (note the Florida connection).
 * Also, see this edit that leads me to believe that this IP is a sock, as well. GABHello! 06:28, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I hate to ask... but can an admin please close this? It's kind of a moot point now, and is only taking up room. GABHello! 22:40, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
