Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.

• I'm not a sockpuppet. You'll all being mean to User:MasterFiendSupreme. Melvinworks (talk) 02:27, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Yeah, he was a member of Sparta's senate, and I am sure he will be King one day, and I'm not a sockpuppet. Takemcdown (talk) 02:28, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
    • Agree with Takemcdown and Melvinworks. Referendem (talk) 02:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments by other users

• Likeliest story is that this guy posted "Save my article!" in some forum and his buddies rallied to the rescue. I think they should still all be blocked because they're likely to get indignant when the article inevitably gets trashed, but making an SPA isn't necessarily a blockable offense, I guess. JuJube (talk) 04:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

• Made personal attacks against me when I attempted to speedy tag a recreated Mastermind (Sparta), 1 and 2. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 20:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

 Clerk note: Given that the accounts seem to have gone to the trouble of playing silly games here, with tag team denials, and given that the vote stacking could, if it hadn't been spotted, have affected the outcome, added a RFCU request to settle the issue.

 Clerk note: This case was self endorsed by Clerk Mayalld. (Note made for transparency). Tiptoety ^talk 20:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
