 * Suspected sockpuppets:

User started editing Mehr Adeeb Ahmed Kathala immediately after Adeeb610887890 stopped (after receiving multiple warnings), editing in the same way (for instance, removing the CSD tag).  Flying  Toaster  20:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

 * WP:AGF might apply here. Adeeb610887890 is clearly an inexperienced editor, and continued to edit the article after logging out. I'd be mightily surprised if this was an intention to deceive.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  21:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree and am happy have this closed without action. The reason I opened a case despite a new user is because the first user "logged out" and started editing anonymously precisely at his last warning, when he was about to be blocked.  This suggested to me that he might know what he was doing, but since it's not clear WP:AGF may be a good call.   Flying  Toaster  04:41, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Likely - it seems clear that the IP and user are one and the same, but in the spirit of WP:AGF, we can stretch to an assumption of innocent mistake (ONCE). Mayalld (talk) 22:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Likely - NFA required. Mayalld (talk) 22:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 22:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
