Suspected sockpuppets

Encorehockey created Flysleeve at 06:00UTC which was tagged for speedy deletion using {{ db-spam}}. User removed the speedy tag at 06:14UTC and was subsequently warned for doing this by RHaworth ( talk · contribs) at 06:41UTC. At 06:57UTC the new account HoneybackedHockey was created and immediately removed the speedy tag and then engaged in a short edit war with myself and other users. The similarity in the user names, the fact that both seem to be single purpose accounts working on this spam article, and the similarity of their comments convince me that this is sockpuppetry. -- Biker Biker ( talk) 07:43, 8 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Evidence submitted by Biker Biker

Evidence submitted by Pstanton

I concur with User:Biker Biker and submit my own conclusions: These edits by encore, [1] [2] express the exact same thing as this edit here by hockeystick [3]. They both have hockey in their name, were created at the same time, and are both editing in support of Flysleeve.

Behavioral evidence is clear. I don't think we even need Checkuser for confirmation. -- Pstanton ( talk) 07:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Conclusions

 Administrator note Seemed blatantly obvious even before I knew others were thinking the same thing. All accounts blocked and tagged. - Vianello ( Talk) 08:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC) reply
