 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Hairhorn

User:EWN-America was blocked Aug 17 for spamming and having a promotional username.

The account User:Kc41997 was created the next day. While the name is no longer promotional, the only edits so far have been:


 * removed a db-spam nomination (without an edit summary) from EURO-World Network, an article created by User:EWN-America
 * added a fax number to the page, Croatian TV-America, consistent with previous edits by User:EWN-America


 * Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.


 * Comments by other users

The User:EWN-America account was soft-blocked for a username violation. The person behind the account is free to create another account that does not violate username policy. Hence, this is not sockpuppetry. MuZemike 23:46, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * I'll also note that since this clearly is the same user, CSD rules still apply in that the creator cannot remove CSD tags. MuZemike 01:31, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
