I agree that this is sockpuppetry, considering the same numbers at the end of some names and those users contributions. --Cremepuff222 ( talk,  review me! ) 22:21, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Evidence
 * User:Botaylor456 created the first, now deleted version of Bo Taylor, and the IPs listed also edited, adding links and "information" about Bo Taylor, which was clearly fabricated. (Now deleted - claimed that he was an African American male actor who was offered the role that was taken by Bo Derek in the film 10.) (See deleted version history).
 * The IPs added links with claims about Bo Taylor, and the "supporting" links bore no resemblance to the claim. (Available in history of deleted versions.)
 * On April 3, Botaylor456 was blocked for continually uploading unlicensed images.
 * On April 7, Bo456 userid was created &mdash; and recreated the Bo Taylor article, with similar claims and bogus links. (Imdb link it to another person). (The current version of Bo Taylor is on afd).
 * Bo456 is also uploading unlicensed images.

 * Conclusions

Agreed that these are certainly the same editor, but the IPs appear to be stale, they haven't edited in over a month and may have changed hands. I'm also failing to see a clear violation of WP:SOCK here with the two user accounts, neither account has commented in the AfD, and the second account wasn't block evading-it started editing well after the block on the first account would have already expired. (Of course, the constant image problems and recreation of deleted articles might earn a block anyway.) Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that last, the new account has been doing the same thing with images to duck review. Indef for the sock, 1 week for the puppeteer for puppetry and the same image issues. Seraphimblade Talk to me 08:02, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
