I not a sock puppet I am a new member of Wikipedia, I am not conseredtaxpayer. I am AMERICANTAXPAYER. I have edited to add cite as wazs asked by someone. This is very relevant and promotes no organization or person. The Harvey Plan is very relevant to America incase you have lived in a cave for two years. It seem likely that a person saw my name and fix article by setting up a new account. I think you should lay off the blame and add the Plan back. It is so relevant that a Lars Larson took up the topic for the last two days. That talk show host has a national show with hundreds of thousands of listeners. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Americantaxpayer (talk • contribs) 03:05, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The issue here is not the notability of the article. If you disagree about that, take it up with the deleting admin. This is about sock puppetry. The similar username fixing your spelling errors is pretty questionable, but the IP that signed the articles in the exact same (incorrect) way while citing the same show as you is pretty obviously you. --Terrillja (talk) 03:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I also agree that the editing of two Harvey-related pages is very suspicious. Editing started with Americantaxpayer, stopped, and then editing started with Concernedtaxpayer and 71.56.152.245. These three users just edited these two pages, continually removing speedy notices and making the same editing mistake of using a signature within an article. --Clubmarx (talk) 03:17, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Americantaxpayer has been blocked for creating nonsense pages. --Terrillja (talk) 03:41, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * User was unblocked, I have notified the blocking admin of this case. --Terrillja (talk) 06:28, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Checkuser evidence shows it is that  =  are the same two users. However the same day editing of a subpage of American taxpayer and a deleted article by two brand new editors suggests strong meat puppeting concerns here. ✅  =  —  Rlevse  •  Talk  • 14:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
