On November 11, I reverted all contributions of a vandalism-only account, Brian951378246, which incidentally included a few kittens and other Wikilove that seemed handed out randomly. To my surprise, this user has suddenly questioned as to why one of the kittens was reverted - (diff: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ACalabe1992&action=historysubmit&diff=461459567&oldid=461339178 ). The user's userpage is already pointing to yet another account, and the pattern of editing, then stopping for a long time, then editing again is present across both of these accounts.

Are you serious? I notice you've made a revert in error and point it out to you, and you reply by accusing me of sock-puppetry? Please tell me this is a joke. I was browsing the Feedback dashboard and a user's message stuck out, so I looked at their talkpage, and also checked the the history, and then noticed your revert which was in error. If you're blindly reverting edits using rollback it's very much grounds for losing permission for that tool. FinalRapture - † ☪ 02:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That revert was not in error; the user (I'm thinking you) hadn't had any involvement with those users and was clearly messing around. All other contribs were vandalism. Calabe1992 03:07, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Last I checked, giving kittens wasn't vandalism. If you can prove that Brian951378246 is a sockpuppet of an indefinitely blocked user, then you could justify your rollback as reverting edits by a blocked user, but is there any other reason you reverted the kittens? → Σ  τ  c . 03:59, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm declining this. I don't see how multiple accounts might have been abused. WilliamH (talk) 03:20, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
