Myheart24 was created specifically for an AfD wherein it made its only edit. That edit was a keep !vote with a peculiar form oddly similar to the !vote cast by Myheartinchile (see [1] and [2]). Between the two accounts, they cast the only keep !votes in a landslide favoring deletion. There is also the similarity in the name. Ordinarily, I wouldn't report this based on a single edit by the sock, but given the double-vote in an AfD, and the suspected sock puppeteer's history of attempting to non-admin close an AfD on an article h/she made substantial updates to, I figured there should be some record of a possible connection between these accounts.
Well I guess this is a good faith effort at transparency, I'm not really familiar with "sock puppetry" but I am not this other user. The similarity in names is simply coincidence, the votes were not that similar. I may have basically copied the HOLD ON from the other user for some reason, I usually do that when i run into something new and I try it out to teach myself to use this I don't know what to call it "wikipedia code". As for the non-admin closure I didn't know I couldn't close it myself, I was just experimenting, and I thought it would be fine since everyone voted to keep it and until that point i hadn't even voted for it one way or another. I was really just trying to rush it so I could have it put on the main page in the "Did you know?" section, which was eventually successful thanks to the intervention of others.
