Suspected sockpuppets


!Vote stacking at User:Rick570/St Peter's College list.
Rick570 and Dome1000 are clearly the one person.
Rick570 started editing a long time ago and has in the last few years focussed heavily on using Wikipedia to collect bios on ex St Peter's College student (regardless of wether they are notable or not). Rick has a issue with copyright violations. After the extent of his violations became apparent he seemed to stop editing on 27 March 2015.
Dome1000 started editing on 20 November 2014 and has focussed heavily on editing bios on ex St Peter's College student. He mostly edits the same articles as Rick570, sharing an interest is St Peter's, NZ Catholic churches, schools, people. Has made three keep !votes at xfd, all pages started by Rick570.
After the initial overlap, for a period it looked like there may have been a Clean start under a new name but then Rick570 returned to !vote at mfd.
