 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Niteshift36

Both accounts are less than a month old. Both accounts have limited themselves to editing the same 3 articles. Both accounts add, delete or revert most of the same material. In the article Sean Hannity, Niex05 has made these reversion:     

While Kasper4000 made these ones at the same time:  

In the article Marriage Niex05 has made this edit, very similar to this edit by Kasper4000.

In the article Steven Crowder, both have very similar edits and reversions of the same material. Niex05: Kasper4000:

Kasper4000 made this edit: to the Steven Crowder article, which is the same issue Niex05 was engaging in an edit war over at Sean Hannity.

Given the age of the accounts (less than 1 month each) and their limiting themselves to editing in the same 3 articles only (often the same material), I can't help but suspect that the two accounts are linked. The odds of 2 editors starting accounts at the same time and going to the same three articles don't seem too likely. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I think they are 2 different but closely related people. Deal with it as you wish :). -- Luk  talk 09:00, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

Possibly two different people. The edits are problematic, so with I've gone ahead and blocked the listed sockpuppet account. No action taken on the master account. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 15:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
