created around the same time as other sockpuppets created by this user,editing similar articles. This sockpuppet was used to remove COI notices from article about a film this editor created. Similar pattern of blanking talk page to remove COI and other notices without comment.RadioFan (talk) 04:08, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

 * A CU was run on the Master and this editor didn't come up as a sock. You need to provide diffs that connect the two editors.  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 01:11, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Yohowithrum has a history of sockpuppetry and COI. StanleyTAnderson is a new account which primarily edited AfD discussions to establish a history and then edited two articles created by Yohowithrum which are about a film Yohowithrum directed. StanleyTAnderson also made significant contributions to the deletion discussion for Yohowithrum's film.. Yohowithrum has a distinctive pattern of leaving unnecessary spaces between references (e.g. ), and StanleyTAnderson's edits have the same quirk (e.g. ). Pburka (talk) 19:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

 * - - I also see some behavioral connections, plus Stanley appears to not be new.  Small chance it is meatpupptry as well. It is very possibly a sock, but I am hesitant to take action without CU data. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 06:43, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * – use your judgment to see if the behavioral evidence holds up and if so, whether it is a violation of the meatpuppetry, socking or blocking policies. NW ( Talk ) 07:52, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Looking at the full picture, it appears that DanLancaster is a sock for avoiding scrutiny and has been blocked indefinitely. There is enough overlap and coordination with StanleyTAnderson to make a case for meatpuppetry, but not enough to demonstrate sockpuppetry, so a short block was given to prevent further disruption in the ongoing AFD.  Comments have been struck there.  Closing as all action required is complete. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 17:47, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
