 * Suspected sockpuppets

Disruptive editing centers around the Klemen Jaklic article and its deletion discussion, namely promotion/vanity and !vote stacking at AfD. Jaklic, whose notability is in question, is associated with Harvard. It wouldn't surprise me that, given the level of personal knowledge and dedication, this may be the subject himself.

, the author of the Jaklic article, has been extremely vocal in the current AfD discussion. Within the past week or so, Mcsn appears to have signed out to make disruptive edits there as, off Harvard campus in Cambridge. The duck quack was a content dispute over this very little known person's nationality.

follows the same subject matter and behavior. Mcml's edits at the somewhat related Venice Commission promote Klemen Jaklic: adding Jaklic and later disputing removal. Mcml has also !voted at AfD to keep.

Both 140.247.225.* range IPs trace to Harvard campus. Their !votes (keep, keep) at AfD are remarkably similar to each other and to Mcsngrca generally. They also came after both registered accounts, which makes me wonder if one or the other simply logged out to re-vote. To me, it looks like socks, meat, or some combination thereof.

 * The accounts are, but CU can't make any conclusion beyond that (as in to sock or meatpuppet) as per DoRD's comment above. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  03:10, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This might be meat, and due to CU is unlikely sock. I'm not confident enough to block. This is probably too much evidence for it to be coincidence but I'm just not quite comfortable enough to block. Are there any other SPI personnel or admins who have any better insight?

 * Closing as no action taken. Since the article was deleted, this appears to be a moot point now as they have ceased editing. If there is new evidence of socking, please refile.
