Another one just popped up, User:Xerwer first post on an article in 6 years and its supporting a complex discussion involving the reliability of MaverickLittle's source. Maybe this is just stealth canvasing, or I'm paranoid but i think its worth a look.

 * Hello, I'm MaverickLittle. I have been pointing out that Gsonnenf is making up Voter Turnout numbers and putting the false numbers in the U.S. Presidential Election, 2016 article.  Gsonnenf does not like me pointing out that making up his own facts is not acceptable. He claims, incorrectly, that Voter Turnout for this year was 53.7% (he cannot provide a reliable source that supports that false number) even though the leading authority on Voter Turnout, Dr. Michael McDonald or Univ of Florida and U.S. Elections Project, states that he believes that Voter Turnout will be around 58% when all of the votes are counted.  Gsonnenf also has been violating 1RR on the article and he does not like it when he gets called on edit warring. I have been updating the article with most up to date election results and I have been using the reliable source, Dave Leip's Atlas, and he does not like that source, even though it is a reliable source.  The Wikipedia editor 2005 has been disagreeing with him on all of these same issues so, of course, he assumes we are the one and same person. Well, anyway, I'm not a sockpuppet and 2005 is not a sockpuppet and Gsonnenf is merely playing a game where he thinks he can get editors who disagree with him blocked.--ML (talk) 02:59, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: I don't see any obvious similarities between the two accounts at all, nor do I see anything that appears to set off any red flags here. The only similarity is that they both seem to disagree with Gsonnenf and with different reasons...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:29, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
