None of these users have done anything on wikipedia other then promote KeepTalking, which has been nominated for deletion.
 * Evidence

All three users are participating in Articles for deletion/KeepTalking and none have edited any articles outside of ones relating to KeepTalking. According to, 72.229.170.199's CNAME record is cpe-72-229-170-199.nyc.res.rr.com, which is where Joe User NY presumably is from, given the name.


 * Comments

First: Sockpuppetry involves multiple accounts pretending to be multiple people. I have one account, I may have not logged in, but I have never claimed to be two people nor have I voted twice on the same subject logged in or not. Second: While 72.229.170.199 is indeed my IP address and Misterdiscreet is very happy to point out the location, he fails to point out that according to 67.183.2.190 resolves to c-67-183-2-190.hsd1.wa.comcast.net, which apparently is the state of Washington. I am obviously not in both locations at once. Third: I have accused Misterdiscreet of being abusive to another user and losing his objectivity, his response was to threaten to report me.

 * I guess you've never heard of proxies. That said, I thought both 72.229.170.199 and you had voted to keep. Looking at the AfD again, though, I see I was wrong on that account... Misterdiscreet 01:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * Don't see a violation of WP:SOCK here, but Joe User NY is advised to make sure that he signs in consistently when participating in AfDs, or at least to make sure that he identifies that the IP contributions are from the same person as the named account. --Akhilleus (talk) 01:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
