 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Chillum

This debate at Rorschach test regarding image inclusion has gone on at the talk page for some time now. Recently new accounts have started showing up with the sole purpose of removing the images in question. I believe these accounts are likely the same person attempting to bypass 3RR. I request a check user be done to determine if they are a) the same person, b) an existing Wikipedian who is already involved in this debate. These accounts have not been used for any other purpose.
