 * Suspected sockpuppets

I removed a spammy list of 3 ELs from an article, hiding under a "Emulators" section of the MicroBee article. There was no evidence of these being notable emulators, and it was literally just a promotional thing. User:Sorbed, who has a grand total of 3 edits, appeared after a 19 month hiatus to revert me. I re-reverted, since my initial edit was sound. I wake up this morning, and find a brand new account, User:Duwaqq, reverted me again, using a "minor edit" flag. The quacking here is pretty blatant, and if they're not sockpuppets, they're clearly meatpuppets.

 * User has once again reverted me. I'm not going to violate 3RR just to combat socks. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 11:59, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

 * - I must have been remembering things wrong. However, the evidence is clear enough here for me to act without any CU request. I don't see any reason to suspect additional sleepers, too. Sh i r ik  ( Questions or Comments? ) 19:14, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
