This is a bit of a convoluted case, so please strike individual editors or shelve the case as necessary.

Users 1-3 voted on WP:DRV/PGNx Media, which influenced the outcome, and the case is now relisted at AfD. The case was nominated by the suspected puppetmaster. 4-8 were not involved in the original DRV, but they've been actively participating in a small set of AfD's (including the PGNx Media one), and they're pretty blatant (see Shatte's and Alcorn's user pages for instance). Infomanager denies being the puppetmaster, which is where it gets complicated. Primary evidence: He benefitted from the appearance of the new editors. Circumstantial evidence: Infomanager (talk · contribs) and Paul D. Meehan (talk · contribs) have similar, trumped-up biographical, userpages (request more info on why I think Infomanager's bio is trumped up if needed). Infomanager, like most the suspected socks, writes sporadic edit summaries, mostly in lowercase. The suspected socks infested multiple AfD's, but where they all popped up and agreed is the PGNx one. Thinkjose (talk · contribs) (see PGNx Media edit history) might be a previous secondary account a related second person (email me for more info) until he voted in the DRV. He hasn't edited since. So it is a possibility that Thinkjose might in fact be the puppetmaster, but since Infomanager denies the charges and asked for the IPs to be checked I'm bringing this here. ~ trialsanderrors 19:55, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
