 * Note unidentified sockmaster Sheepskin SPA's is generic name used to identify the request not that of any registered user Gnangarra 16:06, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

All identified are single purpose accounts that participated in the AFD Articles for deletion/Sheepskin boots. This article was created as a POVFORK from the the article Ugg boots by Illume1999. During tha afd it was indicated that many of the editors of Ugg boots are probably from Deckers giving them a WP:COI. User:Factchk was active until the User:Illume199 commenced editing. The four other accounts Barclaygla09 commenced editing only after the Sheepskin was created, that was a sole talk page comment to Sheepskin boots then only other edits were to the afd, User:Linda1997 sole edit is to the AFD, User:Youngteacher sole edit is to the afd. User:Middlemarch2256 is another book end account who hadnt edited since substancially since Feb 2010 which book ends with the arrival of User:Factchk Gnangarra 16:02, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

I had received six other emails from various manufacturers but only posted Mr Barclay's and I had no idea that this was against Wikipedia rules. With this in mind, I will only post through my account (Illume1999) from now on. Although Mr Barclay's comment cannot be counted, it does not negate the factual information that I have posted nor the overwhelming support for this section. --Illume1999 (talk) 16:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I blocked Barclaygla09, but I'm going to leave the rest of the accounts alone for now. It's meatpuppetry, so all their votes on the AFD can be marked as SPAs. Relist if it becomes more of an issue. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:43, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
