 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by FleetCommand

Judging by their contribution log and the edits they do, these sockpuppets display similarities in their behavior and method of conduct. Fleet Command (talk) 10:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) They edit only the following three articles: K-Lite Codec Pack, Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative.
 * 2) Their edits are solely concentrated on URLs of the official websites of the subjects of the article as well as their version number.
 * 3) These edits are both persistent in nature and spam/vandalism/misleading in contents.
 * 4) The "edit summary" suggests that these edits are being done by the same person. For example, the edit summary on 2009-09-29 made by SoftwareGuide reads: "K-Lite Codec Pack 5.1.6 is not spam, check the site" while the subsequent edit made by Glitty reads: "If you visit the website you'll see that there is a new version released."
 * 5) None respond to the warnings and notices posted on their talk page.
