 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 20:48, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

On the recently created article Rimrock Foundation Bsegna has constantly been removing db-12 (Copyright) templates. The user has earned a warning level of 4, and has been informed by templates to stop removing the CSD template. After giving the level 4 warning i tried again, leaving a manual message explaining why the tag should be left on.

All of a sudden IP 216.187.131.166 comes in and removes the CSD template as well, which is one of the first edits for that IP in quite some time. Also, a new user called Rimrock Foundation suddenly starts removing deletion templates as well. Not only does this name violate username guidelines, but it is almost certainly a sockpuppet for Bsegna to evade being banned after removing the template yet again. All in all my guess is that this is pretty obvious.
