- Code letter: G
- Supporting evidence: There is trouble at Unidentified flying object (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), a battle over the lead, where there is an appearance that a swarm of single purpose accounts are all editing towards the same goal. The following diffs indicate a strong possibility of WP:SOCK or WP:MEAT, given that all these editors suddenly show up at the same place, at the same time, arguing for the same thing: sympathetic treatment of a fringe view.
- This matter was originally reported at WP:ANI [6], which is how I became aware of it. Jehochman Talk 00:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
- They all appear to be
Unrelated, though it's difficult to know as they have all used open proxies at some time. WakeUpPoindexter (talk · contribs) is highly 
Likely to be Davkal (talk · contribs), though - Alison ❤ 01:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
- The pre-test probability that these are Davkal-related was pretty high, and the use of open proxies is part of his MO. They look like a fairly clear-cut swarm of sock/meatpuppets created to influence a specific debate; the contribs are not those of truly new users; and given that and the checkuser evidence (use of proxies, technical ties between at least one account and Davkal) I've blocked them.
