 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Appears sock created to stack AfD. Sock has a single edit and the account was created after the AfD was started. Sockmaster created multiple Keep !votes in the AfD prior to the sock account creation. red dog six (talk) 04:27, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Might as well add User:Back3You too, for the exact same reasons as User:Gawkinjoe. I also added a CU-request. Thomas.W (talk) 09:32, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Diffs:
 * TEDxLUCY votestacking
 * Gawkinjoe keep !vote
 * Back3You keep !vote

It wasn't me. I don't know who gawkinjoe is, and I hope he will respond. I wrote this entry, yes, because I am a fan of Lamar's work and have interviewed him in the past. I didn't intend to create the illusion that I was voting multiple times. I can edit the AfD if need be. I'm new to this. Thanks for understanding. TEDxLUCY (talk) 04:38, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding, an Admin will respond shortly and close the Sock investigation. No need to change the AfD, someone has already done that for you.  red dog six  (talk) 04:42, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, reddogsix. I appreciate your oversight and understanding on this. It'd be nice if the other guy backed me up on this. Was he notified? TEDxLUCY (talk) 05:15, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi TEDxLUCY. All parties have been notified of this investigation on their user talk page. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

For purposes of convenience, the AfD is question is at Articles for deletion/Lamar White (2nd nomination). Michaelzeng7 (talk) 19:10, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
