In the Articles for deletion/Controversial literature page, sudden support with similar misspellings to keep the article have occurred. Furthermore, an IP address was used anonomyously, but signed as a registered user. I have indicated my suspicion in the disussion page. I expect further investigation (e.g. IP address correlation) will provide corroboration.
 * Evidence
 * I can explain the misspelling. I did not take the time to use spell check and I apologize for that. BigFrank100
 * "You" misspelled it three five times in the same paragraph, all in the exact same way Tony360X has consistently misspelled this word throughout all of his contributions. pbryan 05:47, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * "BigFrank100" has now corrected his spelling in the AfD discussion page. pbryan 04:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks for the announcement about my correction. When do I hear the news that you’re pregnant pbryan? LOL - BigFrank100

Further talk page contributions by User:BigFrank100 reveals other grammatical idioms as is used by User:Tony360X: the frequent use of "cause" instead of "because", prefacing offensive statements with "no offense, but ...". pbryan 06:32, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Saying "no offense, but ..." is not evidence. Many people say "no offense, but ..." -- Tony360X

User:Cockmaster500 and User:BigFrank100 both have misspelled harass in the same way (harras). See User talk:Cockmaster500, Talk:Controversial_literature. pbryan 20:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

They both sign comments on Talk pages by manually typing links to their User pages without dates, instead of using the conventional shortcuts or ~. Examples of mistakes they have made in attempting this same uncommon method of signing are diff for User:Tony360X and diff for User:BigFrank100. Pomte 04:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * I hope this user is blocked for stalking me, I am refering to this edit.. Where signed as me. --Bryson 03:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow pbryan are you that desperate to have the Controversial literature article deleted that you have to go around making false accusations that I’m a puppet of this Tony 360X. He has made an article so useful that two professors at Stanford are going to be using it. Can I ask you what have you done for Wikipedia or even with your life?

 * In your user page, you have the same style of ending all of your lines with line breaks &lt;br&gt;. This, along with the fact "you" misspelled article (artical) three five times in the same way as Tony360X has consistently misspelled it, along with the creation of your account on the same day you voiced your opinion in the delete page: these amount to circumstancial evidence far too coincidental for me to reasonably doubt that you are anything but a sock puppet of Tony360X. pbryan 05:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
