Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Interestedindividual/Archive

Evidence submitted by Miyagawa
Follows speedy deletion request on NBogan and discussion on Talk:NBogan. I'm from a nearby area and I don't even know how to pronouce this let alone have heard it at all. I believe the user is using his own IP and a brand new alternative account to suppose his vandalism. Both the IP address and Umbongo account have never edited anything other than this page and it's talk page as of this time. Miyagawa (talk) 22:30, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

See Defending yourself against claims.

BP - My current location is in the buckinghamshire area, GX. what is your local location that you have not heard of the term "nbogan"? I also find it offensive that someone who does not even live in Buckinghamshire (Berkshire does not count) is making accusations of vandalism

I understand the point and purpose of Wikipedia and as I said on the talk page I felt that the slang term ought to be explained. Further the posting of it has led me to be able to understand the likely meaning. See Bogan. I have concurred that since google only has 1550 hits for the term is is likely not widespread enough to warrant an article and thus moving the section over to the Bogan article makes sense as does deletion. In the end I don't really care but I do care about my account getting affected. I have not done the sockpuppet thing. Simply other people who I asked to look at the page have chosen to edit it and others besides.--Interestedindividual (talk) 15:32, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
I have indefinitely blocked the suspected sockpuppet, despite the claims that it was just an "interested individual"; a story I find hard to believe, when looking at the similarity of the contributions. I'm not going to block the suspected master account, assuming good faith, but be aware that your account probably will be blocked if you ask other people to intervene on these pages.
