- Evidence
The user has only made four edits, three were to TonyTheTiger's LOTD experiment (in the most recent one, the user voted for one of TonyTheTiger's nominations), the other was to one of TonyTheTiger's FACs, where the user made the comment "can I vote for my son's page?" which means it's meatpuppetry at the very least. -- Scorpion0422 00:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BabyBamBam is my mother. Her IP should be coming from Memphis and mine should be coming from Chicago. Someone should be able to verify this very quickly. I helped my mother fix her votes today at WP:LOTD because she is not so proficient at Wiki language. I assure you I am no sock puppet. I started her account for her when I visited her for X-mas. She pretty much only votes at WP:LOTD.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 00:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- She voted in one of your FACs, and then she supported one of your FLs in the LOTD experiment, so it's meatpuppetry, which is almost as serious. -- Scorpion0422 00:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I would have to go back and check, but I think this is the fourth month she has voted and the first time she has voted for one of my lists. She is an educator and liked my list this month because it involves education i suppose.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 00:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
No action at this stage - not the most serious breach of WP:SOCK we're likely to see today. Will leave a message for the users concerned. GBT/C 18:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
