Both accounts became active on October 12. The most recent edits indicating possible sockpuppetteering are the tag-teaming of edits on AJ Cooper. The page was created by the sockpuppeteer. When an editor wanted to redirect the page, the sockpuppetteer reversed the redirect. I reapplied the redirect, and the sockpuppet undid it. The redirect was restored again by ClueBot, but undone again by the sockpuppet.
 * Evidence

It is evident from the contribution logs of the sockpuppetteer and the sockpuppet that they are the same person, due to the date of the first edits by both. In addition, both usernames have only edited the same pages (pages related to the Las Vegas TV show). - Rjd0060 01:56, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

They probably are the same person, but there's nothing yet that constitutes a 3RR violation. I suspect that the editor sometimes forgets to log in. Finally, this blanking is a common way that folks request G7 speedy deletions. Unless there's something else, I don't think there's anything here that requires admin attention. I suggest dropping a note at User talk:MadDeafNut to initiate discussion about the AJ Cooper redirect.--chaser - t 04:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments

I'm not sure if that address is mine but if it is I'm not trying to sockpuppet, although everytime I exit the window I don't always remember that it signs me off of Wikipedia. As for the AJ Cooper page, I was trying to add content to a page which only directed to another page. MadDeafNut 05:09, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Although it is definitely a possibility that this was accidental, it is rather suspicious that the logged in account, and the IP account made edits within a 5 minute period. They even made the same edits.  Obviously I was not there, but it is evident that logged in user reverted an edit, which I re-applied and IP user then did it again (twice).  I suppose if the logged in user will stop using his IP, there will be no more problems. - Rjd0060 14:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I followed up on Rjd0060's comments on MadDeafNut's talk page. Nothing more to do here.--chaser - t 03:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
