User:Bluecanoe
This user's internet record label Blue Canoe Records and a musician Joseph Patrick Moore on the label were both AFD'ed. During the deletion process, receiving many delete votes, the sock puppets started showing up, voting to keep the page and posting links about the label and how the musician was their favorite, in a clear attempt to subvert the process. Their edit summaries are identical and none of them have done any other edits except those related to the record label and the musician.
 * Evidence

User:Sallyroberts28 voted here and see the edit summary for Moore here, where User:Sallyroberts28 and User:bobj7 and an IP user had almost exactly the same edit summaries. --Awiseman 19:56, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * As the creator of various AfDs that this user have commented on, I think it can be said that this user is a sockpuppeteer. Even at the AfD for Blue Canoe Records, she stated that "Give it some time, I'm sure others will add to Joseph's listing-that is if you decide to keep it." The following day, the suspected sockpuppets arrived. Ryulong 20:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what you are talking about? I looked at your comments above and am not familar with either of these users.  I will refer to my previous comment posted that I wanted to remove the label listing.  Please advice on the sockpuppets? Thank you.bluecanoe


 * At 14:47 I asked for our account to be deleted. The spam from the sock-hoppers occured after this (as I have been doing some investigating of my own).  Does this make sense?  Why would I ask for the Blue Canoe Records account to be deleted and at the same-time be orchestrating some sort of mischievous campaign?  This is clearly a cruel joke!!  I will wait patiently for the account to go through the deletion process.  bluecanoe
