[9] and [10] both show significant signs of "similarity" both in content and in location. Each was added at the top of the TP and not the bottom. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 22:50, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

- Multiple accounts used for edit warring.
- Comments
- All edits are related to inserting statements about Michael Vick and the Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation and almost all users edit Clinton Portis, Deion Sanders, Stephon Marbury and a handful of others.
- Defense - I have no idea who those other guys are. This is completely ridiculous. It's clear that other people think that those statements belong on these guys' profiles. Just because you are in the minority here now you are going around starting sockpuppet cases against people... totally ridiculous. Face it: these statements belong on these guys wiki pages. You are in the wrong here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.143.68.157 (talk) 21:36, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
You must have power issues with the articles you think are yours. Get a grip. It's a public forum. All these athletes who support Vick's actions, especially now that Vick has admitted to EVERYTHING, deserve to have this note, particularly due to the the bits about electrocuting and hanging the dogs, on their Wiki pages. Keep crying wolf about sock puppeteers but some people are passionate about animals and sports and that's all they care to comment about. As you obviously did not notice, this "story" has created quite a bit of interest in the country. It's easy enough to "copy and paste" one's edited comments back into an article using history (as you know), so your assertion that the entries are suspiciously similar is paranoid, ignorant or a willful attempt at ostraciszing facts with which you don't agree. When the "evidence" is in about this sockpuppetry, you'll lose and you know it. Please get a job or something. Bmccarren 00:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
