As Gsgeek540:
 * Diff1


 * Diff2

then logs out as IP and reverts disruptively again here

...but logs back in as Gsgeek540 to comment on my talk page here

...and then pretends that he isn't the IP

A quick look at his contribs as either the account or the IP shows they are the same per the quacking. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 02:14, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I'll take blame but will admit no harm was meant. Roommate wanted to add two cents so i logged out of my account for him to do so. Obviously he didn't and i didn't realize that until the next revert. I did comment thanking him for his effort. I'll admit that. Gsgeek540 (talk) 02:47, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * due to the fact that checkuser will not be able to tell the difference between sockpuppetry and the explanation Gsgeek540 provides above. Whether anyone thinks what he's done is actionable under the sockpuppetry policy is up to someone else to decide. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 09:59, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Gsgeek540, creating an illusion of support for your position by editing while logged out, or by having someone edit on your behalf and then pretending that this was an independent edit, is not appropriate and harmful to a constructive, collaborative community. Please do not do that again. I assume that this won't be a problem again, and see that you have joined the talk page discussion to evaluate the references, so I see no reason to keep this case page open.
