 * An obsessive need? I used the sandbox a few times to test syntax, not any "obsessive need." Starmute [[Image:Star.svg|15px]] Talk 01:05, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * These edits by Starmute are similar enough to these by Soda drinker  to warrant a CU, in my opinion. Additionally, Starmute has already claimed WP:BROTHER, so there is a very real chance that this could be a sock. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 22:49, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' In my house, my brother and I share one computer. Have I done anything childish, as he has? No. It can be surely said that I am not Soda Drinker, and am not guilty of sockpuppetry. Starmute Talk 00:59, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
