 * Suspected sockpuppets

Both accounts were made recently. Both accounts have been pushing POV edits on Kalenna Harper despite the disagreement of other editors. Compare this from Kylecabrol with this from Sharmela.Mela. Both use the same essay-like promotional language, and make some "sky is the limit" comment.
 * Evidence submitted by Pstanton (talk)

Both will also blank the career section and replace it with an essay-like section "Early Childhood" or something similar.

Behavioral evidence is extremely clear. Pstanton (talk) 21:00, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I say WP:Duck, and, even if she wasn't both accounts, they both should be indef blocked. Old Al (talk) 18:46, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, I may have an unorthodox idea to solve this problem. This Account being indef blocked, and This one not being blocked for the time, as this may be one of the few times a sockpuppeteer may be able to contribute, but any further blocks to Sharmela.Mela would be indefinite. If anyone sees any problems with this, please say, as it is only an idea, and if this wont work then my last comment would be what I agree with. Old Al (talk) 21:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
