Evidence submitted by Arthur Rubin
All have edited only in the newly created State National and related articles. Sock1 and Ip3 made similar edits in a rapid sequence on that article, and all except IP3 have commented separately at the AfD. Also note that the name of the "sockmaster" matches the name of the article, and the name of sock1 is closely related to a URL where similar &mdash; stuff &mdash; can be found. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:11, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * IP3 (.241) seems just to be the same as Sock1, so there is probably no intent to deceive, or a forbidden use. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 17:57, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * IP 4 added; still only commenting at the AfD, writing DO NOT DELETE, providing no arguments, other than pointers to yet more unreliable web sites. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 08:46, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I've blocked the sockmaster for a week and the two registered socks indefinitely. The IPs I'm not so sure about. One locates to the UK, the other two locate to near opposite ends of the US. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   15:18, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Since the AFD has been closed and the accounts blocked, I'm closing this request.  Nakon  23:16, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
