The two users have jointly edited the page Lindsey Sporrer. In this instance the sock master added some content that was removed by another editor as vandalism. Later on the same content that had been removed was reinstated by the other sockpuppet Englismanfilms as seen here. Additionally the two users have been editing the same pages consistently as seen in their contribs pages. Contributions for Englishmanfilms here and those of fellow sock RiversProductions here.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Hi I'm learning how this works and I think I figured it out now. RiversProductions is now db-g7 and EnglishmanFilms is renamed. I didn't read the note about not using company names as usernames. Sorry for my oversight and thanks for checking it

I'm closing this case, no action is needed. The editor has admitted to holding both accounts (which was done out of ignorance of our policies) and abandoned RiversProductions when they started editing under EnglishmanFilms. They then requested a username change for EnglishmanFilms to comply with our username policy (which has been done, they are now operating as 3cneics). They tried to have their old account "deleted" by adding a G7 tag to the user page of RiversProductions (which of course was a mistake, since we don't delete accounts, but it still made their intention clear). Any further misbehavior from 3cneics should be considered on its own merits, but no willfull sockpuppetry violations have occurred. --  At am a  頭 18:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
