After nominated Natalee Holloway for deletion,  voted delete in agreement with SesameRoad, just six minutes after the nomination was complete. This is WatchingYouLikeAHawk's first edit in over a month. SesameRoad has previously blanked project banners on Talk:Natalee Holloway, and so has WatchingYouLikeAHawk. Both editors were previously active on the Capital punishment article, edit warring in tandem to remove the same content.  In addition, both editors have been active in discussion on Talk:Homelessness‎ and Talk:Willie Horton‎ advocating the same positions. Also note WatchingYouLikeAHawk's support of Conservapedia on his/her user page and the fact that SesameRoad's first edit was to the Conservapedia article. Normally I would simply block these two editors as fitting the WP:DUCK test, but I'm an active editor on Natalee Holloway and have reverted several of SesameRoad's edits. As this has an affect on an active AfD, I'd appreciate quick resolution. - auburn pilot   talk  06:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I didn't check the diffs. I'll assume they indicate what auburnpilot says they indicate.  A check of the contrib logs shows editing of similar subjects such as capital punishment and homelessness by both editors, as presented in the "evidence" section above.


 * The contribution log shows something very interesting. WatchingYouLikeAHawk edited furiously (for him) in the week preceding September 23, 2007, then he suddenly disappeared.  He has edited exactly 11 times since then.  Meanwhile, SesameRoad made his first edit to Wikipedia on September 23 and has been somewhat active until now.  It would be okay if the older account had simply been forgotten about, but there appears to be vote-stacking, as mentioned above, so it's a violation of the sock puppet policy.  Based on the editing pattern, combined with the evidence presented by auburnpilot, I believe these are the same person, and I endorse any reasonable admin response on this basis.


 * I acknowledge Rlevse for alerting me by email. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 01:02, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Both accounts blocked indef for socking and vote stacking, put notice on the Natalee Holloway afd about this. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 02:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
