 * Suspected sockpuppets

Sumdeus created two new articles:  and. They were proposed for deletion, he removed the template. They were then proposed for Afd, and the Autumray6 account was then created and quickly removed the AfD templates from both articles:  and. After the templates were restored Sumdeus quickly re-appeared to remove the Afd templates:  and. After Sumdeus got a few warnings I explained that he should instead comment on the Afd page here:  to which he did not respond but immediately commented on the Afd of both articles here:   and. Shortly thereafter Autumray6 found the Afd's for both articles and commented as well here:  and. It seems that the two accounts are tightly related based upon these patterns.

 * Evidence submitted by ConcernedVancouverite (talk)
 * There is also a clear COI. In an earlier edit on this investigation editor Sumdeus admitted to a conflict of interest regarding the two created articles here.  After a COI warning was issued, he then removed that portion from this discussion here. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:37, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I rarely (this is the first time) feel the desire to post to Wikipedia - my account was created today, however Autumray6 is not me. We do know one another, we are not the same person, we just have better things to do (most of the time) than deal with the internet Nazis... Sumdeus (talk) 23:40, 8 November 2009 (UTC) I would also like to add, that out of this Wikipedia has gained two more highly technical users that won't be submitting new content in the future for the same reasons we haven't since the last time helping if politics of immature people are allowed to play out - management style has much room for improvement albeit understandable for the shear size Sumdeus (talk) 23:55, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
