 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Jim Ward (talk·stalk)

I tagged the article Laurier McDonald with ProD and because it appeared to be an homage piece for a family member of the author. The article had been created and edited solely by User:Jlauriermcdonald. The following day, that user stopped editing the article, but the work was continued by a new account, User:Guirisystems, which was newly created and thusfar has been used for that one purpose. The new account declined the ProD, removed the tag I'd placed the preceding day, and continued to develop the piece. (N.B. I've since reinserted the COI and AfD'ed the article.)

Per Talk:Laurier McDonald it would appear that this is a single user who has made a good faith attempt to change his username. There is no breach of WP:SOCK here. Mayalld (talk) 20:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 20:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
