 * Suspected sockpuppets

Theinternationaljournal was blocked indefinitely as a role account for creating The International Journal, Inc (now up for deletion). Within hours of being blocked, Alexandre.Iabrie appears and starts editing the article. The coincidence is simply too great, in my mind. I believe a block on behavior would be justified, but to make doubly sure, asking for Checkuser evidence. Blueboy96 20:07, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

The accusations are false. Theinternationaljournal is managed by one of our employees, and this account is my own. Alexandre.labrie (talk) 20:40, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

 * CheckUser requests

as is commented on the talk page of, they were only username blocked, and they are welcome to create a new account, although they still need to edit within WP:COI and WP:N. I would also recommend that the user is advised that they should stick to the Alexandre.labrie account from now on (per their apparent interest in having the original account renamed to ). Leaving this open for a second opinion. Regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 20:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
