• Code letter: D.
• Supporting evidence: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]

Here's a quick explanation of the above.

• You've Got Mail! in support of Kitia at AfD (note that in some cases the edits were only minutes apart)
  • YGM[23] / Kitia[24]
  • YGM[25] / Kitia[26]
  • YGM[27] / Kitia[28]
  • YGM [29] / Kitia [30]
  • YGM[31] / Kitia[32]
  • YGM[33] / Kitia[34]
• YGM acting as Kitia's proxy in reverting: YGM[35] / Kitia[36]
• I'll bust your beak!'s contributions to the same set of AfDs: [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44]

Note also that User:213.225.127.188 appears to be Kitia: [45], [46]

The first edit by You've Got Mail! was this one, which identifies the page as having been created by Kitia as a multi-role account. Kitia has been warned about this on his talk page, but the pattern of AFD votestacking covers a number of low-participation AfDs, so it may have effected the outcomes as noted here. The apparent sockpuppet has also particpated in three deletion reviews [47], [48], [49]. The DRV comments have already been struck out, but this seems to me to have been widespread enough to need confirmation of whether or not this was actually Kitia's sockuppet (particularly since Kitia has also engaged in some limited votestacking, by notifying selected people likely to vote "keep" [50], [51], [52], [53], [54]).

I note that comparing the edit patterns of the two users, YGM's edits are all clustered very close to the limited times of day when Kitia has been editing. However, the indef-blocked User:Ryoung122, a friend of Kitia's has been using his large mailing list to encourage meatpuppets to sign up to wikipedia to participate in AfDs, so it may be that You've Got Mail! has indeed been used as a multi-user role account.

I have included I'll bust your beak! in this nomination because the pattern of editing also seems very similar to that of YGM and Kitia. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:37, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed - the accounts, but 213.225.127.188 (talk • contribs • 213.225.127.188 info • 213.225.127.188 WHOIS) is Unrelated - Alison ^❤ 17:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

The IP address is an open proxy, which I've blocked. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 17:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
