 * This confuses me. Why is someone accusing me of being a sock puppet? Nothing here or on my talk page explains this baseless accusation. You know what they say: WP:DBQ Katharine908 (talk) 03:37, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, I am Rhadow. Yes I know Katharine908. I rather doubt she's engaging in sockpuppetry.  After my article Hyper Chariot article was PRODded, I called her to ask guidance. Yes, I know now it's a meatpuppet offense. The article is gone, probably for good.  You can look at my other stuff; most of it has nothing to do with Hyperloop. I am a separate physical person. You can check IP addresses or whatever.  I also had an article AfD'ed, which will appear again, once there's more news. I have been wandering through random articles, voting and PRODding. Some I vote Keep, others Delete.  Look please at the totality, including fixing dead references and the like.  Please assume best intentions. Rhadow (talk) 17:54, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Was surprised to see this editor here expanding an article entirely the work of a user who's been recently blocked for ToU vio. Not much of an explanation as to what drew them to this particular place. Not a big believer in coincidence when there are ducks afoot. ☆ Bri (talk) 05:36, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

 * T wakkul has one sleeper, (created on the same day). Other than that, these all appear technically ❌. Katietalk 22:35, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Blocking Katharine908 72 hours for meatpuppetry. As an editor of nine years, Katharine should be well aware of meatpuppetry and although Rhadow did not say that they requested her to intervene in the AfD, Katharine's actions made it an inappropriate canvassing. Lacking the full disclosure offered by Rhadow above that they know each other, her defense that an sock allegation is baseless without offering other plausible explanation looks deceptive. Rhadow's inexperience and honesty here indicate they didn't mean to be involved in canvassing or meatpuppetry but as an experienced editor, Katharine should have known better. Also, I'm blocking the sleeper, Wcs haziq. Closing.
