SockpuppetSamuelson (talk · contribs)[edit]

Account has large gaps in editing history and is mainly used for AFD voting. By its name, a self-proclaimed sockpuppet. Radiant_>|< 13:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the name is intended to be a joke - nobody I can think of would be stupid enough to realistically identify themselves as a sockpuppet, as the point of a sockpuppet is to hide the user's true identity. The edit history seems clean enough - it's irrelevant if he disappeared for a while. I see no cases of vandalism and most of the AfD votes you pointed out seem to be sensible enough and not attempts to derail an AfD.

The name is possibly a joke, but I can think of several people that would in fact do that in a stroke of irony. He's not a vandal, I can see that, but as most of the account's edits are AFD votes (which is hardly normal behavior for an editor), it raises the concern if he's in fact double-voting.

I see no evidence of a policy violation. Kelly Martin (talk) 03:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
