 * Code letter: G


 * Supporting evidence: Per Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, I'm requesting a check user to determine who this editor is. They specifically created a sockpuppet account for the purpose of leaving messages on my talk page to attack and harass me. They did not, however, identify what the name of their real account is, and I don't believe such blatant sock puppetry should go dealt with. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 21:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I listed your case, but it is likely a checkuser will decline the case if you have no idea who the sockmaster is. -- lucasbfr  talk 21:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's what we're trying to do here- checkuser the sockpuppet to see who the master account is. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 00:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I know of a previous case where ran a checkuser on an account that had declared itself a sock, without any prior inkling who the sockmaster was.  If necessary, I can provide the evidence. --Jaysweet (talk) 16:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * - this case is somewhat "fishing-y" but given the evidence, this is a deliberate abuse of multiple accounts per WP:SOCK and no editor has carte blanche to simply create a sock account to have a go at someone, then disappear again. It's cowardly in the extreme and - yes - it's classic good-hand/bad-hand stuff. While there were only a handful of edits and it doesn't appear to have recurred (yet), I think it's sufficient enough to name the master account.


 * ✅ that is a bad-hand sock of . I thought hard about publishing the results of this check, esp. given that the good-hand account is ... well particularly good, but this edit did it for me. Cowardice and hypocrisy - it's just not on -  A l is o n  ❤ 06:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
