 * Suspected sockpuppets

These may be either sockpuppets or meatpuppets. There has been a slew of recent edits by Jeninwien, Boggess11, Valerie.w, and Loestr since the ICMPD Communications Department account was blocked. These all appear to be single purpose accounts, and Comm Department, Microwaveontable, and Boggess11 have displayed similar strings of editing patterns. Others have appeared variously to edit and to advocate keeping the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) article in response to the AfD. At the AfD discussion, however, two of these have disavowed any affiliation. One has repeated the argument of Comm Department (link) that since some peer organizations have articles written about them, the ICMPD should also. That several new accounts would start with the (arguably) non-notable organization, let alone its AfD discussion, I find pretty incredible. JFHJr (㊟) 00:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Actually, I think this could be meatpuppetry, so I'll endorse to find out. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:07, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's call it meatpuppetry then. I'll close for now, but relist if they get more disruptive. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:50, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You mean "at all disruptive", since they have not been. At all. DeliciousBits (talk) 18:08, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
