 * Suspected sockpuppets

Suspicious out-of-nowhere comment at Talk:Association of Scientists, Developers and Faculties immediately after I had left a message for User:Asdfindia about COI. Asdfindia's response seems to heavily strain WP:AGF. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:03, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

 * It doesn't appear that asdfindia was attempting to sock with the IP comment on the talk page, they probably just forgot to log in. Recommend closing this without further investigation into sockpuppetry. Gigs (talk) 02:37, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that they were pretending to be a different person. I guess that is technically sockpuppetry. Gigs (talk) 03:12, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I have indef'ed Asdfindia on spammer grounds. Also, Checkuser won't be matching IPs to usernames. --Rschen7754 19:10, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Where is the example of link spamming? This user wrote a reasonably well constructed 47k article and the main problem is COI.  This report is based on a suspicious comment by an Indian IP that's been dormant for nearly a month.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:17, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't realize that the spamming template specifically meant "link spamming." I meant more along the lines of COI. --Rschen7754 19:18, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You could orgname softblock them. Gigs (talk) 02:38, 22 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd decline the hell out of this, just on general principal. We don't checkuser non-vandals based upon single edits. AGF and all that. --jpgordon:==( o ) 02:20, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
