 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Belasted (talk)

This IP was used by the sockpuppeteer for the sake of arguing the notability of their own article in Articles_for_deletion/Badeeh_abla. Belasted (talk) 23:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I am not really seeing a violation of our sockpuppet policy, unless I am missing something? The IP (who's edits have been reverted) has not !voted at the AfD, nor has he been totally un-constructive. Also, the named account has yet to edit the AfD. There is a good possibility that this editor commonly edits while logged out and only uses his account to create articles, if this is the case there are no problems as long as he does not use both his account and a IP to edit the AfD, community discussions, article talk page discussions, ect.

--No action needed, as there has been no abuse. Lots of new editors edit while logged in/out intermittently. Unless there has been an attempt to deceive the community, abuse should not be assumed. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 00:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
