Luckymelon has about 100 edits total. His 17th edit on wikipedia was a "delete" vote on a heated AfD in which Epeefleche also voted delete because of the article's relation to Allegations of Israeli espionage operation 2000–2001. . The AfD discussion spread to WP:ANI and Luckymelon went on to support a topic ban on a user who did not agree with Epeefleche's view on the article: Luckymelon's 19th edit on wikipedia was to comment on an obscure article talk page in support of Epeefleche after a user complained about the "improper tone" of Epeefleche's contributions to the article. He then goes on to "compliment" Epeefleche's changes to the article and ask if it's okay that he "watch his talk page." . Presumably, this was done to make their "editing partnership" less suspicious in the future. Luckymelon's first edit after returning from a month-and-a-half-long hiatus was to "oppose" Epeefleche's ban for WP:CANVASSing. He also calls the ban "ridiculous" here: and offhandedly mentions that Epeefleche had contacted him to participate in recent Jewish AfDs as well - and that it was a neutral canvassing because "they have disagreed with each other in the past" (although there is no indication of that in Luckymelon's contribs). Another user pointed out that that is impossible because Epeefleche never left a notification on Luckymelon's talk page  and Luckymelon does not have a registered email with wikipedia. Finally, Luckymelon left a strange edit summary referring to User:Tarc (who he has never had any contact with) as "unfriendly Tarc". Note that Epeefleche and Tarc have had a history of bad feelings. Needless to say, there is reasonable suspicion (WP:DUCK) that User:Luckymelon is a block-evading (and at one time votestacking) sockpuppet of Epeefleche. Bull dog123 20:54, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Epeefleche and Luckymelon are completely ❌.

However, Luckymelon and are ✅. –MuZemike 22:44, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved to /Shuki. T. Canens (talk) 22:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There has been double !voting in Articles for deletion/Racism in the Palestinian territories and Articles for deletion/Art student scam, the former is related to the P/I topic area, as was the latter at the time of the AFD . Luckymelon has also violated 1RR on Six-Day War  . Moreover, using a sockpuppet in project space in an inflammatory manner is unacceptable. I am blocking Luckymelon indefinitely, and, in application of WP:ARBPIA, blocking Shuki for 6 months. T. Canens (talk) 23:04, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, . Epeefleche didn't notify Luckymelon - but he did notify Shuki. "Epeefleche notified me of some issues and he very much knows that I do not agree with him on everything", indeed. The explanation given is ridiculous - how does giving "permission to watch a talk page" (not that permission is even needed!) translate to active notification? T.

 * Sock blocked, closing. Nakon  04:12, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Two_for_the_show, who has very few edits, but a substantial overlap in interest with banned-user Shuki, suddenly showed up and !Voted on an AfD that has also attracted !votes from many of the same editors with whom Shuki agreed on previous contentious P/I issues. Note that Two_for_the_show's previous history includes helping out Shuki in a debate. Note also the hasty typing with misspellings, similar to Shuki's. This behavior is similar to an earlier sockpuppet of Shuki, Luckymelon, who had stockpiled a few previous edits before !Voting on an ANI, also in the general P/I area. betsythedevine (talk) 22:41, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I too noticed this user, and suspected sockpuppetry. It would also be worth looking at  and. RolandR (talk) 19:18, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * For the record, there's even more cross-over between and . 15 edits yet 9 shared articles. . He also tends to revert with brewcrewer here. These users are either the same or clearly know each other.  Bull dog123  01:50, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

 * - I don't see the spelling mistakes, diffs would be nice, and would get a duck block. (maybe it's because I am tired) but the Wikistalk shows same topic with similar edits as master. Not enough for a duck, so pref a check. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  04:22, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * and Shuki appear to be ❌. TN X Man  15:00, 10 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Closing, then, with no action taken. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:10, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
