 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by User:Williamwells (User talk:Williamwells)

I have been a wikipedia member for many years, and this is crap. Zero evidence went into this accusation and instead of responding to my attempt to make a legitimate entry in wikipedia about a subject already referenced in another entry (hornfans.com) to our community of thousands of members, this user instead resorted to an accusation to make me respond to this rather than spend ANY time researching the subject. www.shaggybevo.com is a community of thousands of users, and as a legitimate entity is entitiled to be allowed to make a simple reference to its own existence.

Refer to my own history of legitimate entries, edits and similar activities spanning many years here at wikipedia. I am a physician, a member of the faculty at the University of Oklahoma, and a contributor to legitimiate scientific research. You may contact me through the university if you doubt my existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamwells (talk • contribs) 04:18, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Absurd. I know it says not to take this personally, but I did nothing to warrant this. I feel attacked, and it is unjustified.

– Per above, it looks more like meatpuppetry than outright socking. Now if the accounts start to get disruptive in the AFD, then that would be a cause of concern. However, nothing here sockwise warrants even blocking at this time. MuZemike 20:13, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

No action taken as it looks like meatpuppetry to me as opposed to socking. MuZemike 22:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
