 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User:Poarps uses the sock to continue his long-term edit war on Template:Egyptian political parties. The history of the template shows that Poarps insists on omitting the word "Egyptian" from the names of several parties in this navigation box (7 reverts since March). Discussing this on the talk page has failed, since Poarps didn't answer. Now User:Chauahuasachca continues this edit war, to avoid consequences for his main account.

 * I deactivated my account, but wanted to rejoin. Now i have this account.--Chauahuasachca (talk) 14:43, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * None (previously i worked per IP). You can look it up as if you want. But you cannot login with Poarps anymore (because of the password). Chauahuasachca is the only account i can use now. How can I link it together with Poarps?--Chauahuasachca (talk) 14:54, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You link it by having a statement on your userpage that says "This editor used to edit under the name User:Poarps", so it then becomes obvious you aren't trying to avoid your past. Then I just block the old account if you like.  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 14:58, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, block it then, please.--Chauahuasachca (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have now blocked your old account and put a tag on it indicating that it was your former account. You should still indicate on your current account's userpage that your former account was Poarps. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Chauahuasachca, you do know that changing accounts to avoid scrutiny is considered socking? There is no such thing as "deactivating" an account.  And you haven't linked the two accounts, which would make it allowable for multiple accounts.  I'm tempted to block your current account.

 * Now that I look at Poarps's first contribs, it seems pretty obvious that you weren't new then either. What other names have you registered before?  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 14:49, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, closing this for now. I don't see that we will be enlightened by him about the past, so all that remains to say is that Chauahuasachca should please stick to that account and that account only for the future. If he does I think we'll be fine. Amalthea  10:47, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
