 * Suspected sockpuppets

TheEatery was banned for adding links to foodfacts.com, as a reference for confectionery ingredients. A day later, TheGoodEats has started adding the same content back to the same articles. McGeddon (talk) 15:59, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I made an account to list ingredients of foods to various candy items. I had a cooworker help me so I created TheGoodEats so we wouldn't use the same username. It was not done with ill intent although after reading the sockpuppetry entry I can see how it can be interpreted that way. The ingredients listed is what is found on the ingredients label for those foods. There is no bias what so ever. I now understand that we cannot have two user names so we will share the same account and will not edit anymore information until I am fully versed on the terms and conditions. I only started to edit these foods to give these Wikipedia entries more information about the specific foods listed. Thank you for giving me the chance to defend myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGoodEats (talk • contribs)

It certainly makes it easier when they essentially admit to socking. Unless his "cooworker" has similarly limited English skills, it's the same guy. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I blocked the account as a spam-only account. This one quacks so loudly that it echos. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

 * There's a decent chance Senor Reparar, if not a sock of TheGoodEats, is a sock of another long-term sockmaster. Some private information on this is available- whoever runs a checkuser, please email me so I can indicate the connection privately. tedder (talk) 17:20, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
