statement by Mjsenih (talk • contribs)

I deny meat/sock puppet status I categorically deny that I am a sock puppet or meat puppet of utzchips, or any other wikipedian. I have already asked that a bureaucrat or steward verify that I am not utzchips by cross referencing IP addresses, but it seems that request has been ignored, and the accusations continued. A careful check will show that my account, though rarely used, has existed for a long time before the Brad Hines page was ever created. I edited the Brad Hines page ONE time by removing the AfD notice since no reason had been given to delete it. I also questioned on the Brad Hines talk page if any reasoning existed. I have not voted in the discussion for deletion nor have I done any further work on the Brad Hines page. Since I've been on wikipedia since April of 2005, it certainly can't be suggested that this account was recently created for the purpose of this "delete discussion". As a personal relation of Brad Hines, I did want to see his page stay, but my account does not exist for that purpose.

Please remove this indictment immediately, using a person who can cross reference the IP addresses if necessary. Mjsenih 19:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

When an account with only 9 edits over a period of 18 months, appears suddenly, only to delete an AfD tag, and states that they logged in at the request of a cousin via IM, that is a classic example of a meat-puppet. --BostonMA talk 23:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
