They're all my accounts but please give me a moment to calm down in order to point out that the account User:PURRfect with a PURR is one I own but is never used.

1. The account User:Perfect with a PURR is one I own but I don't edit Wikipedia with it. 2. User:PURRfectly Perfect was renamed Tamara Zion. The edits are made by the same user. It's not one person socking as two users, it's the same user not knowing whether to create a new account or ask to be renamed. I was adopted by an editor legitimately involved with the adopt-a-user program. 3. User:A Sharp Dressed Man is an account for my husband. He has different skills and needs his own adopter to work with him. He didn't accept the offer made to him and if you don't think he should edit Wikipedia just say that. 4. I didn't want to change adopters and didn't need that many accounts so I usurped my own account.  PURRfectly Perfect usurped Tamara Zion and the extra account was discarded as "Tamara Zion (renamed)". Users familiar with the usurption process can recognize that. 5. I have another account I don't want to disclose, no violations. You don't need to CU me. I hadn't even edited, just responded to an adoption offer made by a user who isn't legitimately invovled in adopt-a-user. It wouldn't be necessary to have an alternate account if not for users like that. I'd like to be able to work on writing an article or revert vandalism in peace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tamara Zion (talk • contribs) 07:33, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I logged in to Perfect with a PURR to confirm I own but don't use the account. Tamara Zion (renamed) SHOULD be blocked. It's not necessary to block Perfect with a PURR unless you're STILL concerned. If an admin needs to speak with me or take further action, they will. If you're not an admin or my adopter, you need to leave me alone.

To close this, perhaps a closer look should be made at the recent contributions of the editor who made this report. "If you have been warned by myself or my other account..." That's on his talk page. 1. What are they doing "warning" users? 2. If they're not an admin they can use Twinkle, they can't block other users. 3. They're admitting they use "their other account" to issue these warnings 4. User:Staffwaterboy hadn't edited since September 8, he came back on February 2 and made this page. If he can't correctly spell the words uncomfortable or lesson and I can, I rest my case. Tamara Zion (talk) 13:03, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I feel that i do not need to addresses this issues with you as for as in this case. However i will try to give some explanation in to my actions here on Wikipedia, Ok User can issue warnings when reverting vandalism on Wikipedia  Cleaning_up_vandalism  when vandalism is  present,A regular user like yourself or I  can issue up to or more then 4 warnings to a user when they are vandalizing or breaking  Wikipedia wp:rules which then can result in a block from a wp:sysop Twinkle is a tool that is used to revert vandalism as well as issue warnings  a person doesn't need to be a sysop to use this however it needs to be used a a persons discretion.Next a DOPPELGANGER is when a user creates an account similar account to the current one which you did as well with Tamara Zion.This Doppelgänger account that i have redirects to my talk page as well as my userpage so that i can receive any messages that are needed.Me leaving and comming back  has no releavncy to this issue, and finnaly if you noticed what you linked to i am creating a adpotion area for users in my own userpace so naming it what i like and spelling should not be a concern.

 * I'm a bit on the feisty side but I'm about as "dangerous" as persian cat. Whether or not the SPI was merited, it's not appropriate for ME to be uncivil, which is the point.  Doppelgänger accounts I don't use are being redirected to User:Tamara Zion.  It was simply me a newcomer worried that someone else would come up with THE PERFECT USER NAME first.  :)  I'll add the information to the undisclosed account as well to avoid another SPI being necessary.  I have a legitimate worry that a troll will read this and decide to create socks and redirect the socks' userspaces to the userspaces of people they've targeted.  The same user should make all the redirects to the same account!  Tamara Zion (talk) 23:22, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * First and foremost: Tamara, please chill out a bit. Comments like "you need to leave me alone" and issues with Staffwaterboy's spelling are somewhat uncivil and are wholly unnecessary. Now then, PURRfectly Perfect was indeed renamed to Tamara Zion (see this diff). The (renamed) account was also part of this. I'm honestly not sure why you need a whole bunch of accounts (i.e. Perfect with a PURR and Tamara Zion). I'm willing to assume good faith on the part of A Sharp Dressed Man. More than anything, though, is that I'm not seeing any malicious use of socks here. Relist, though, if there are any further problems. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
