Both users !voted at Articles for deletion/Mike Portoghese. They have a similar editing pattern (focusing on AfD's) and have used a similar unusual format of a dot after the word "Delete", and similar phrasing patterns ("as per user xx") in their !votes. I attempted to see if this was a good faith mistake, since (other than at the one page) there does not appear to be any evidence of manipulative behavior. I have no objections against just tagging the account, striking through the extra !vote at the AfD, and moving on if an admin thinks no technical action is needed here.

 * Likely, but I'm endorsing for clarification. And is this part of a larger sockfarm? For some reason I seem to recall something about AFD... —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 18:01, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅. It certainly doesn't look like a new user, but I haven't come up with anything that these two are connected to. Dominic·t 02:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
