 * Suspected sockpuppets

The suspected sockpuppeteer account (now indefinitely blocked as a promotional/spam account, sharing a name with http://www.linkproz.com/ and publishing what looks like a PR "article") created the article Nahshon Nahshonov, which was nominated for speedy deletion. User:Thetomjohn promptly removed said nomination. This article is the only one either user has edited, and both started editing on the same day. After the Linkproz account was blocked, the IP listed above appeared to argue for the article's retention on its new AfD page - also the IP's only edit to any Wikipedia page whatsoever. This may be a case of meat puppetry by members of an organization rather than sock puppetry. Both the suspected sock puppeteer and the IP editing the AfD article share the habit similarity of not signing their posts and being filled in by SineBot, though not 100% consistently on the main account's part - see and. - Vianello (Talk) 14:06, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Based on the timing of edits, including tag teaming to remove the CSD tag, this looks more like meatpuppetry between the registered accounts, and the IP being one or the other. Dennis Brown - 2¢  © Join WER 17:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocked meatpuppet one week. IP is a telephone, so no use in blocking.  Feel free to strike vote at AFD for being a meat/sock puppet at the AFD.  Dennis Brown - 2¢  © Join WER 17:30, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
