New sock in this case seems to have popped up. Was continually reverting the sock tag on Huntress (possibly others, didn't check), and now is fighting on my page about it. It may just be meatpuppetry, so I would like a checkuser to look at this. ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 18:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I will obviously be recusing myself from clerk activities related to this case.

Confirmed as same IP as Huntress. Also:

• Code letter: C (has promised to continue recreating hoaxish vanity articles), D

What appears to be blatant sockpuppetry in a hoax article is creating some seriously bad blood between valid contributors: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Lee Nysted Experience, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nysted Music. The user has a history of creating vanity articles, and his character, as seen online, is quite questionable. I would normally not have thought a checkuser necessary, but one user has strongly objected to my classification of the situation, and I'd like to clear some things up.

Another one for the list, and a recusal from clerking activities since I'm submitting it.

• Note: BillWSmith is a regular; I'm a bit surprised as his support, but I don't think he's Lee. Patstuart^talk|edits 18:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Specifically I think Lee is an unrelated SPA, and that the others are socks of Bill. I may of course be wrong though. CU will tell. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 18:58, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
