In Articles for deletion/Rob Capriccioso (2nd nomination), User:Hochungra, torrenceg and Dcwash all argued against deletion. I believe they are sock puppets because the latter two have only edited a few pages, all related to Rob Capriccioso or Native American Journalists Association and at about the same time as each other, such as the obvious examples for Hochungra and torrenceg, and more subtle ones like this one for dcwash. In addition, Hochungra and torrenceg both made the same argument as to why I shouldn't be involved with the decision, namely that I live in DC and so does the article subject. The deletion discussion was ended as "no consensus" and they were the only users to argue against deletion, thus affecting the result, which is why i'm requesting a checkuser. A couple other editors at the deletion discussion also expressed concern about sockpuppetry. Thanks. AW (talk) 07:49, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

 * - Hmm.. it's possible, I suppose, though it could also be meatpuppetry. CU should be able to clarify what's going on. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:17, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, they are ❌. All three geolocate to the same continent, other than that they are many miles apart with different useragents. I would say this is a case of meatpuppetry. Tiptoety  talk 18:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I figured. Alright then. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
