This request is related to vote fraud for multiple closed votes where possible meatpuppet votes may have effected the outcome. There is compelling and significant evidence that a person using the name "Sligobhoy67" has been votestacking off wiki, soliciting support for Vintagekits AfDs (detailed at at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Vintagekits). Despite this, and off-wiki admissions from "Sligobhoy67" he edits Wikipedia as Vintagekits, Vintagekits denies any association with Sligobhoy67 (talk · contribs), despite an almost complete overlap in article space editing. [1] There are other on wiki links between then, note this diff. Sligobhoy67 makes his only edit in a 4 month window to support an argument VK is having. Proof that Sligobhoy67 and Vintagekits are the same person would remove any doubt about whether Vintagekits has been votestacking to effect the outcome of AfDs.

It would appear that Our Day Will Come is a sockpuppet of Vintagekits. However, I think it too obvious (and possibly a poor attempt by somebody trying to frame the user) and would like to get the accounts checked just to be sure. Our Day Will Come was newly created and immediately began editing articles Vintagekits was recently involved in with pro-Irish republican slances. This includes the first ever edit of commenting on a case for deletion that Vintagekits was involved in, and voting in the same way [2]. The second edit included a short sentance adding "Volunteer" to an article [3], something that Vintagekits is currently prevented in doing according to mediation [4]. The third edit involves helping Vintagekits in an edit war with another user [5]. The fourth edit was to remove an "unverified" tag to an image that Vintagekits had added [6]. The fifth was to revert to a version by Vintagekits in the Diarmuid O'Neill article, after other users had removed references [7]. The other edits are in similar vein. Given the past history of Vintagekits, I don't think he would have thought he could get away with this, and so wouldn't have tried it. Rather, I suspect it is another user who attempted to get Vintagekits into trouble. Logoistic 20:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect DownDaRoad of being a sockpuppet of DownDaRoad. I do this because DownDaRoad has just recently registered today and only made rather small generic edits in what I beleive to be an attempt to make the user look legit. I am led to believe this by the fact downdaroad has requested on the user pages of several editers that they comment on an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-12-02_IRA_'Volunteer'_usage based on an earlier discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(Ireland-related_articles)#IRA_articles:_usage_of_the_word_.22volunteer.22 yet is new to the encylopedia and has not contributed at all to the discussion. It may also be of note that downdaroad has not asked for support on vintageusers page, but only third party editors that are likely to agree with vintagekits. Vintagekits also comes across as the most passionate about the ongoing discussion, which was my first reason for suspecting the user. -- Pauric (talk-contributions) 21:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
