Articles for deletion/Mysterious Universe seems to be plagued by ip and new accounts with few or no other edits making far too similar comments showing little understanding of afd, deletion or general wikipedia policy. Possible sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry?

I am at 99.163.241.82 today and the inclusion of that IP above is nonsense. I commented to point out an apparent misunderstanding on the part of another commenter on that page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.163.241.82 (talk) 19:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I think AFD closing administrators are familiar with how to handle situations like this. The votes by these users are all related, either by sockpuppetry or off-wiki communication, and for the purpose of answering the deletion request it makes little difference.  Judge the arguments, not the numbers.  I will be commenting in the AFD. Yechiel (Shalom) 23:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't really know how to fight this, and frankly don't care. Truthdemon is the only login I use for wikipedia. I sign in from work and home, thus the different IP addresses, I guess. I have never signed in under a different username. I have no idea who sensible sam is. I may have forgotten to sign in, and edited the wiki without signing in, but I can't be certain. Some of those up there could be me, but tried to sign in every time. Franky, accusing me of sockpupetry, or whatever, seems a lame excuse for disregarding my comments. I only created the account to keep the Mysterious Universe Wiki A)updated and B) fairly evenhanded, since someone, initially Thekloofy and now DestroHolmes seemed to want to whitewash (and now delete) the entry. If you wonder who I am, I am Gatorbobo; I was Gatorbobo at Mysterious Universe (before the Forums were deleted) and I use the same username in other forums as well. I'm easy to find, if you want to verify my existence. Truthdemon (talk) 04:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Gatorbobo

The AFD was closed as delete. The question of sockpuppetry is academic. I see SensibleSam is a second named account, but Truthdemon claims innocence, so I'll assume good faith and let it pass. Yechiel (Shalom) 03:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
