- Evidence
Other than the similar names, both users have strikingly similiar edit histories. All of both users edits relate to bands genres, and both users always mark all of their edits as minor edits.[1][2] Furthermore, their edit histories will show you just about every article that Zero has edited, have been articles that emorocker has also edited.
- Comments
Emorocker now claims Zero is just a friend of his.[3] Could we get a CheckUser to see if this is the case? Even if it is true this could fall under meat puppetry. Hoponpop69 23:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- How have these accounts violated WP:SOCK? --Akhilleus (talk) 17:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Because if infact it is one person, they are trying to make it look like there is more of a consensus than there really is. This is in violation of wikipedia rules.[5]Hoponpop69 20:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In another consensus discussion zero this time claims he is friends with emorocker, but he does it using the exact same poor grammar style, and lacks a signature on his post, as emorocker always does.[6] Compare it to this[7] and notice all the similarities.

Are there more diffs to support this claim? This isn't much to go on. Rlevse 01:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
- Looking through Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-10-03 The Classic Crime convinces me that these two accounts are run by the same person; their writing style and general attitude is similar. However, the accounts have participated in the mediation case claiming that they're separate people, and this is a prohibited use of a sockpuppet to make it seem like there's more support on a side of an issue than there actually is.
