Okay, pretty solid evidence here. On Talk:First-person shooter they all use the EXACT SAME ARGUMENT. The argument is that the people removing a disputed link are removing a perfectly good resource that has been in the article for a year and that said link was useful to the community. They also say that the link is being removed in the name of "community consensus" that was biased against the link. And a quick search on IP2Location shows that the two IP addresses are in roughly the same area. You may think it's not strong evidence, but what are the chances of two IP's from the exact same area and one account using the exact same argument that only a webmaster would use? If they aren't the same person, then they're probably recruited by the sockpuppeteer.
 * Evidence

They've obviously been both recruited by the sockpuppeteer via the web site, but the fact that they're both using different ISPs makes it more likely that they're separate persons. Nevertheless, I don't believe this warrants an SSP report. This is intended more for sockpuppets, not obvious meatpuppets. Shadow1 (talk) 14:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * Yeah, this is "meatpuppetry"--not the type where two or more people know each other in real life, but the kind where a bunch of people are responding to a notice on the front page of a web forum. This is best dealt with through page protection. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
