Comment. Above votes by MistaMatt90 (10 prior contribs), 24.186.98.203 (first contrib) and Admiraljustin (second contrib). Only 900-1000 Google references outside of the site itself--Gabriel Beecham/Kwekubo 01:52, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's funny; I've never seen anyone ever vote by writing "Vote - (username): (user's vote)" before, and now suddenly six people, all voting the same way, do it all at once. Curious. JDoorjam 14:10, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought. Perhaps users of the forums in question alerted via a post and not knowing the "non-rigourous" format of a vote, just followed the example of the first submission? --Ikester 03:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This kind of thing is mentioned in WP:SOCK, under Meatpuppets. --Etacar11 05:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article is no different than Tech Support Forum (User:MistaMatt90)

Which has been taken down and redirected to Besttechie. --Ikester 03:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Brrrrr. Delete, NN --Raistlin 15:54, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ... unless someone can explain the criteria here. How big must a site be to make it worthy of mention at WikiPedia? Has that been defined? How does one decide it's merely advertizing? I mean, how does a WikiPedia visitor know what's out there to help them if such sites are all considered to be advertizing? --Ikester 03:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
