The sockmaster and sock1 are the only 'creating' editors of Extreme Kayak Fishing. Their Contribution pages, 98.249.250.93 and Ekft, show that their only contributions have been to Extreme Kayak Fishing. The article has a current AfD. This [|Diff] shows sock1/Ekft signing as Sock2/Joseph Hector. This [|Diff] shows Sock1/Ekft thanking himself for the "Joseph Hector" comment. This is my first sock puppet nomination, but I'm requesting a 'check user,' because if the sockmaster and sock1 are the same IP address, the matter will be cut and dried. Thank you for your time.

There does not seem to be a registered account named "Joseph Hector". Is there a typo, or is this name only used in signatures and not as an account name?—Bagumba (talk) 22:48, 4 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Ekft left comments signing as "Joseph Hector," without creating an account. For example: diff. So I listed "Joseph Hector" as a sock. Tapered (talk) 00:24, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. As there is no actual "Joseph Hector" account, I'm removing its entry from "Suspected sockpuppets" above.—Bagumba (talk) 04:22, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Well, this IP obviously belongs to Ekft, but it seams more like he forgets to log in than wants to disrupt. They have both been inactive since the article is deleted. I warned Ekft against logged-out editing, and that should be it. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  01:41, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
