First account appears and creates articles related to Dean-O and one of his albums. Second account, Willstrom (note caps difference) creates the rest of his albums. This was an obvious sock, but it wasn't being used maliciously, so I declined to report it. Then, after Willstrom becomes angry because all of their articles are being tagged for speedy deletion (primarily G11/A7), Bobbyfurler appears to remove all of the tags. Obvious sock is obvious.  elektrik SHOOS  (talk) 10:27, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Added, who also is now removing speedy tags on all the same articles.  elektrik SHOOS  (talk) 11:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Willstrom has admitted on my talk page that WillStrom is an alternate account of his.  elektrik SHOOS  (talk) 12:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Willstrom and I do not know each other. I've never met the guy I just know Dean-O the guy that the articles are about and when I saw that you were marking all his posts I thought it was unfair and deleted your posts on his pages — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbyfurler (talk • contribs) 10:32, August 5, 2011

Yes as Bobbfurler has said he and I have never met. Up until tonight I didn't even know anyone with that name. I was just trying to help out wikipedia by giving it some info on a good friend of mine. Wikipedia is supposed to be a giant encyclopedia that anyone can edit yet when they do people like you come on and delete everything that they spen hours making — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willstrom (talk • contribs) 10:35, August 5, 2011

I think there's some kind of mistake. I don't know any of the people here. I just got home from a christian family camp where Dean-O played and was looking him up and found it heart breaking that someone would want to delete him ~Svensbrother — Preceding unsigned comment added by Svensbrother (talk • contribs) 11:14, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey You shouldn't pull these two guys into this they didn't do anything they were just agreeing with me  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willstrom (talk • contribs) 11:29, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Since Willstrom admitted on User talk:Elektrik Shoos that WillStrom was his account, I have blocked and tagged all the socks. In view of his lies and denials on that talk page and here, and the fact that he was an SPA promoting his band and his friend's records, I have also blocked the master indef; to be unblocked he will need to convince an admin that he understands and admits the problems and will change his ways.

Quack. Shows up yet again to make the Dean-O article. The name is also clearly the same person. Not even bothering to request CU due to obviousness.  elektrik SHOOS  (talk) 19:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
