 * I endorse moving this investigation along as the actions at Articles for deletion/Brick Conners and Brick Conners are suggestive of WP:SOCK/WP:MEAT violations. However, I think the IPs are a bit of a wide net as they geolocate to fairly distant regions...&mdash; Scientizzle 15:49, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I have closed Articles for deletion/Brick Conners as delete since, sockpuppet or not, the nominator made a good case which was supported by other editors. JohnCD (talk) 08:29, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this investigation moving forward? The named sockpuppets are in clear violation of misusing multiple accounts. I ask that this matter be referred to Checkuser to help determine the extent of the sockpuppetry. Let's move this maater along, it has been open for much too long already.

This looks more like WP:MEAT than anything else, as the IPs are all over the United States. I highly doubt actual socking here. –MuZemike 01:21, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Muzemike here. I see little evidence of actual socking. I might recommend taking up the meatpuppetry issues at WP:AN/I. Tiptoety  talk 04:29, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
