Necromuncher edited in Wikipedia a few times from 2007 on but only really started up today. While looking at his contributions, I saw he edited the user page of PusongBato with Krolithika30. I also saw that Krolithika30 edited Necromuncher's user page. I then decided to look at Krolithika30's contribution's. It was then when I found this contribution where Krolithika30 linked to Necromuncher in an unrealted page that I decided to pursue a sockpuppet case. To connect Necromucher and PusongBato, Necromuncher says he's Filipino or from the Philippines. Pusong Bato is a single released in the Philippines by Aimee Torres in 2003 that recently became viral and is something Necromuncher could've heard; prompting him to create a sleeper account with a similar name. I'm also requesting CheckUser for sleepers since it was hard for me to identify all three users I found together at first. Thebirdlover (talk) 06:39, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

One thing that would be improper is the fact that these account's were never disclosed by the original user per proper procedure. Another is that Necromuncher hasn't really done much for the wiki since he/she started. In 2007 and 2008, most of what the account was doing was putting links to episode streaming sites on various pages and they only had a few legitimate contributions. After 4 years, they came back and make an autobiographical article (which was speedy deleted). As I had already shown, Krolithika30 had linked to Necromuncher's page in a completely improper way. It is of my opinion that because the history that Necromuncher has shown they haven't done much good for the wiki in a long time frame and because of the other accounts problem's; that the accounts are almost certainly not created in good faith and Necromuncher should be considered a sockpuppeteer. --Thebirdlover (talk) 09:11, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Using multiple accounts is not necessarily sockpuppetry. Please read WP:SOCK and give us at least one example where something improper is happening in connection with these accounts. —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 20:30, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
