 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Foetusized (talk)

First account was caught editing WP:COI pages such as Jason Cobble and The Return (Beatles tribute band), for which Jason Cobble is the drummer. The two sock puppets have now joined in, deleting COI and deletion templates from these articles, adding spam links to the band article, and adding/reverting an entry for Jason Cobble as a notable resident of Johnson City, Tennessee -- Foetusized (talk) 02:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Taking a second look this morning, all three accounts have only edited articles related to Jason Cobble diff diff, including places he has lived diff diff and articles related to his Beatles tribute band diff diff -- Foetusized (talk) 13:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet I open an account a long time ago and forgot the username and password then created another account recently. After opening the 2nd account I found the info for my second account. I will only use one account to clear up any confusion. I have only edited the articles I have created and have not engaged in any activity that would qualify for sockpuppet conduct.

 * Comments by other users


 * Given the nearly identical edit histories, I'd say this is pretty open and shut. User:Zepspot should be indefinitely blocked, and User:Jasoncobble should be warned and made aware of why this is not an acceptable practice. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

Admitted to being the same user. I've indef blocked the Zepspot account, but I'm willing to AGF and not block Jasoncobble, the user should use that account only. – Toon (talk)  17:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
