 * Suspected sockpuppets

Roozie08's edits to date have consisted mainly of the creation of nonsense articles. In his 9 days on Wikipedia he has already earned a 31 hour block for vandalism.
 * Evidence submitted by Mayalld (talk)

Moretipsgirl101 was created at 19:00 on April 26th, and has yet to edit. At 19:51 Roozie8 created a User page for Moretipsgirl101, containing various test text using math tags.

It seems beyond the bounds of reasonable coincidence that this new user would happen upon another new user account within minutes of its creation, and vandalise the user page. Mayalld (talk) 12:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * What exactly do you want me to do? Assuming that the account Moretipsgirl101 is Roozie8's, he has not really violated any policy aside from vandalising and that can be dealt with through the normal means. I suppose I could block Moretipsgirl101 indef as a sock of Roozie8, but Moretipsgirl101 really has not been used abusively (it has not even edited). Aside from that Roozie8 can and should be dealt with through standard means. ——  nix eagle email me 15:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * Thinking this over, when/if the second account edits please re-open the case. As it is I'm nominating to close this case because this is a standard vandal. If we pretended that User:Moretipsgirl101 (the page) was vandalized without the account existing would this case be here? The answer to that is no, again as the account has done nothing, I'm treating this as a simple vandal that went off vandalizing random pages. Nothing special, and nothing to tag ;) ——  nix eagle email me 16:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
