 * Suspected sockpuppets

Not sure exactly what is going on here. The first edit by this person was to essentially claim s/he is an admin, followed by vandalising User:CorenSearchBot. The 'List of my members' on the userpage is concerning, though none of those accounts actually exist. Sock? Attempted sockmaster? Not sure, but someone definitely needs to keep an eye on this. roux   06:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

 * ...huh. I thought this would go to AIV. Someone updated some stuff in TW. Oops. Ermmm.. well, since we're here, it looks to me like some investigation is in order. Not sure if CU is required, but it might make sense. // roux   06:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Not much can be done here unless you have a list of suspected sockpuppets and evidence. Aside from that, it looks like it's just a user who's new to wikipedia. If someone hasn't already, it might be nice to drop the user a welcome note and help them out. Icestorm815 •  Talk  18:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
