 * Suspected sockpuppets

User is IP-hopping to avoid being blocked due to final warning. The edits are identical and highly specific to User:Ar-Rumi al-Baghdadi.  Ogress  smash!  02:09, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

WP:AGFing and all, it is a possibility that the editor did not know that they were logged out when the edit was made, also there is only one edit by the IP address, so whatever is happening, it isn't reoccurring, which suggests to me that it was an accident. Foxy Loxy Pounce! 10:16, 13 February 2009 (UTC) Clarifying (thanks Ironholds) for your thoughts), what the user did is wrong, and they deserve a block, but WP:AGF says, perhaps claims of sockpuppetry are unwarranted.

 * Yep, that sounds right to me, it appears to be an accident.  GARDEN  11:03, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd be willing to keep an eye on the IP to see if they continue. If not, I think we can assume this was accidental. GARDEN 11:08, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

Whilst logging out and editing as an IP can breach WP:SOCK, a pattern needs to be established. A single edit which shows deliberate intent (typically with logged in edits shortly before and after the IP edit) would be sufficient, but there isn't enough here to make a case.
