Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Eaglestorm

IP has been used in meatpuppetry several months ago (mentioned in previous SPI) and in circumventing current block, usually in removing confirmed sockpuppet template on IP userpage. Sockmaster, who was reprimanded by at least three editors before for his actions, has admitted using the IP in arguing his unblock request for another matter. This is not a case of harassment; it's about helping the community reel in errant editors who run afoul of the project time and time again despite many chances to reform. IP and sockmaster's history exhibit same editing patterns, such as blanking of talk page. Eaglestorm (talk) 15:37, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
