Evidence

NCC17 has engaged in an editwar in the article AC/DC on the links which should be included in the external links section. I protected the article, and almost immediately NCC17 votes in the poll which I opened as well, as well as some users who had never edited Wikipedia; which seemed strange to me. Soon afterwards, a number of new editors followed which had no more than 3 or 4 edits (and only on AC/DC, just like NCC17).—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 11:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments

• I have been observing the AC/DC edit war as the article appears quite frequently in my VandalProof watch window. I have also noticed the voting discrepency as described by SoothingR and was actually going to request a check user myself(but he beat me to it). Anger22 11:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Very likely that he is using sockpuppets now. I have removed the comments (really "votes") by the sockpuppets. Blocked the master for a short period of time, until consensus is reached on the talk page. Iolakana|^T 16:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
