 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Singularity42

On October 4th, 2009, Jemesouviens32 created Eskimo Buddhism. This was immediately after being disruptive on other Buddhism articles after having an RfC result in a consensus he did not agree with. (See WP:AN3)

The article appeared to be a neologism with no reliable sources. The references were only to blogs. There were no significant Google hits. As a result, I proded the article. Later that day, the Gensbon account was created. The only actions by Gensbon was to edit the article by removing the prod and adding a fake "offical website". (I have since removed the website from the article.) I think there is enough behavioural evidence to be suspicious, but not enough to make a call without a Checkuser request. The result of this SPI will make the difference between restoring the prod (if it was removed by a sock) or nominating for AfD (if it was a legitimate objection).

 * Update: Subsequent to writing the above, Gensbon has started removing comments critical of Jemesouviens32. Singularity42 (talk) 03:59, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.

Am a new user, not a sock puppet, Singularity42 is mistaken, I removed the prod because I found references which supported the article and will continue to research said article and contribute with my findings. As edit warring often involves two parties that cannot agree I found comments unhelpful to the contribution and removed them, small wonder that the other of the two warring parties were involved.

As for the accusation of adding a "fake" website it was up and running when I referenced it...--Gensbon (talk) 04:19, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
