 * Suspected sockpuppets

 * MrFishy99 is a brand new account used only to create this AfD. The nomination reason/vote and the votes of the two suspected socks that follow are formatted exactly the same and employ very similar language. Both IP's are apparently located in San Francisco. Neither care to leave edit summaries. On 16 July 2011, 67.180.179.175 edited Contemporary harpsichord to remove several names and country identifiers here, which was promptly reverted by another editor. On 11 April 2012, 173.13.148.1 made a very similar edit here, also reverted. 173.13.148.1 made another attempt on 2 May 2012, this time exactly the same as 67.180.179.175's year earlier edit--again, promptly reverted. I don't consider the harpsichord changes problematic, I just include as evidence that same person is using both accounts. However, I consider an attempt to sway an AfD using socks to be noxious.

 * I agree that this looks suspicious, but no checkuser is going to disclose whether the account is connected to the IPs, and the available evidence isn't enough to make a determination otherwise. In any case, the AfD was closed, the article was kept, and the account and IPs haven't edited since. If they pop up again, feel free to file another report. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
