 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Nukes4Tots (talk)

User Josh Woolstenhulme got banned and the short list of articles he'd been 'editing' immediately got edited with exactly the same things by the Dominick1283. User Dominick1283 immediately begins editing in exact same style, the same articles, and with an instant knowledge of how to edit pictures, upload, etc. See edit histories of both. For example, here Josh adds a picture he uploaded: and here Dominick adds another picture: Well, since I reverted it, I recall it was the same exact picture, uploaded a second time by the newbie. Finally, see user creation log. Clearly, on account created the other. Of course, I should note that another investigation was conducted, however there was a 'poison the pot' effect from the discussion and it was rejected. I've therefore left that user off this report as I believe it's important all the socks get banned. Thanks.
