Note:All times are in CST. MDFc19 was nominated for speedy deletion at 9:45 with this edit. Kindred19 was the creator. At 12:15, Uswmnb4 was created. Kindred19 made his first edits to the article after the speedy deletion tag was added at 12:16, indicating that is when Kindred came back online to Wikipedia and saw the tag and read it. Appearing to have created Uswmnb4 when he first noticed the tag and when he read the text of the tag prohibiting the creator from removing the template themselves. See this. Then, right after Kindred saved various changes, Uswmnb4 made his sole edit at 12:25, removing the multiple maintenance tags and the speedy deletion template. See this diff. It appears to me that Kindred created Uswmnb4 solely to remove the maintenance templates and speedy from the article, so it would look like another user had done so and not the creator. I am requesting CheckUser because I really don't want someone to be blocked without being as close to 100% sure as possible. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 00:25, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * - Checkuser is not needed for blatant sockpuppetry. I've blocked the sockpuppet and warned the master about creating socks. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
