The user Taram created the page Andrew Helm as his/hers first action on Wikipedia. The article is very obscure yet now that it is up for deletion the users Wordsword1 and SNCKnight have showed up (neither show any activity on Wikipedia before last saturday) commenting on the AfD-page. SNCKnight only has edits relating to the Andrew Helm page whilst Wordsword1 only has edits relating to that page plus the pages for two related individuals (one of which was also created by the user Taram).

 * Update Whilst I was filling in this page I see there has been activity on the Wordsword1 account. He's made changes to the page for a novel called The Patron Saint of Butterflies. The user Taram has made changes to this page in the past, and though the page was created by an ip, the page for the novel's author Cecilia Galante was indeed created by the user Taram.

 * The behavior of the three accounts is certainly suspicious, especially as it might indicate vote-stacking at the AfD . This sock investigation is much more than a fishing expedition, because of the sudden interest of three very low-edit accounts in the matter of Andrew Helm. Qworty (talk) 23:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
