This should be interesting.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia Review (3rd nomination) (T-H-L-K-D)

Nominated by User:Rabbit:Farmer:Gun:Run... (T-H-L-K-D), a user who created one article on "rabbit pie" June of last year, then a few edits today before nominating this article for deletion.

Any guesses on this sockpuppet's identity?

Oh I wouldn't party about that too much because for every article that is deleted on Wikipedia is one to go over to a Wikia, it all works perfectly to line Jimmy's pockets instead of "the free society"... That is the thinking behind the ideas of notability and deletionism in a website with nearly unlimited storage space - to get as much possible on Wikia where ads can be ran on it...
