 * Suspected sockpuppets

Petcalledros is the author of Off the Railstone and Paige Railstone, both of which are currently up at AFD.
 * Evidence submitted by Blueboy96

Thefriedmiss' first and (as of 11:52 am Eastern) only edit was to vote "keep at the Paige Railstone AfD. Only 26 minutes later, bmx5k's first edit is also to vote "keep"--using similar wording to Thefriedmiss' vote.

Considering these facts, and that Petcalledros' only activity lately has been to these articles, there's a distinct whiff of sockpuppetry here--and this needs to be nipped in the bud before these AfDs get completely out of hand. Blueboy96 16:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Also added two IPs who also voted keep, using wording similar to Thefriedmiss and bmk5x. Blueboy96 16:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And Lubblobba--very first edit was to vote keep in the Paige Railstone AfD. Blueboy96 18:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * Technical evidence suggests it's these accounts are the same person, however they are certainly single purpose accounts and may be meatpuppets coordinating efforts from a fan forum or similar venue. -- Versa  geek  20:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Are we going to keep the two IPs and Lubblobba unblocked, then? MuZemike 20:36, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I asked Blueboy to comment here, as he did the blocking. NW ( Talk ) 05:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks that way, yeah. Blueboy96 21:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
