 * So blatantly obvious that I'm reporting it to AIV.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:41, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize that could be done in this case no matter how obvious. SL93 (talk) 23:42, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * When a sock cries "STOP BANNING ME", you know it's the same person.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:43, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I knew that it was obvious. I just thought that all sockpuppets should be reported here. SL93 (talk) 23:45, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Not always. If the edits are exactly the same and there's such an alarm phrase, go to AIV too.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged now.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:44, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Meh, checkuser. If there is a connection then yeah, obviously sockpuppets. If not, then I would expect them to be meatpuppets and those edits are being "recommended" on an /i/nvasion board somewhere (if you don't know what that is, honestly you are better off not knowing, keep the brain space for memorising a list of E numbers or something) in which case protection of the article will be necessary. Unless it's 711chan in which case those were the only two posters. Egg   Centri  c  23:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Meatpuppetry also counts as socking, and "STOP BANNING ME" is different from "STOP BANNING US." CU requested though.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:47, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * . It seems pretty obvious to me, CU not necessary. Both accounts have already been blocked and tagged for that reason. WilliamH (talk) 01:00, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
