Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Picnictable/Archive

Evidence submitted by WikiDan61
All non-IP editors have been involved with WP:Articles for deletion/ISNetworld where their first (and in many cases only) edits were !votes at that discussion. Several users (Picnictable and KCP88) only created edits in other areas after being accused of being SPAs. Picnictable even went so far as to remove the SPA notices from several editors contributions at the ISNetworld AFD. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:20, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Let's see. Znulisch and KCP88 both say the article should be deleted because it doesn't provide truthful information. While Picnictable and Katie125 said it was an advertisement. I do think they are related. --Bsadowski1 22:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps their reasoning is different, but the effect is the same -- they all pop up out of nowhere to have the article deleted. (And their reasoning may differ because of the time at which they made their comment, as there has been a content dispute on the page over the addition of information regarding the initial funding of the company.)

Self-endorsing for CheckUser attention. It is very much possible that the outcome of this AFD may have been influenced by this activity, thus necessitating CU assistance. –MuZemike 20:58, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * ✅ the following:
 * (master)
 * (note the ISN username)
 * I suggest leniency, I think that sockpuppeting/meatpuppetry was a pretty much stupid idea, but the article history shows that Etyler22 was the one who created the article in the first place. I'm not sure the AfD needs to be re-run. -- Luk  talk 12:06, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I have blocked the master for 72 hours, which I think is lenient given the attempt to disrupt the process. Others are indefblocked. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
