 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Italodal

These three users write in the same way, at the same point of view, and have exactly the same attitudes. First he used the TownDown's account then he retired it, and began to use Prodigynet with the PuebloUnited. Now PuebloUnited is retired and he began to use TownDown again. Check the history of editions and the talk page of this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Latin_American_subnational_entities_by_Human_Development_Index&action=history He switches the accounts to not be identified and promoted a strong bias with his 3 accounts. Here is another example, probably by mistake, he edited the page of Prodigynet with the account Pueblo United: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Prodigynet&diff=prev&oldid=301509903 and spoke to himself(TownDown) using the Pueblo United account: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TownDown/Archive_2&diff=prev&oldid=307703124

This account started editing a few hours after User:TownDown was blocked (07:04, 17 August 2009) for sockpuppetry. Its user page is at the moment identical to the pre-block user page  of TownDown; the only changes (as regards the markup in the page itself, rather than subpages) are those necessary to adapt the page to the new user name. Also, the edits made so far are similar; see e.g. as compared to these edits  of TownDown. It seems quite likely that this account is another sockpuppet of User:TownDown.

 * Re the below comments, the contributions and writing style of are different from the other users and I do not believe he is a puppet of User:TownDown. Spacepotato (talk) 01:24, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Allpex is Towndown without doubt, see this page in the Spanish Wikipedia : http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Contribuciones/Allpex and this http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Entidades_subnacionales_de_Am%C3%A9rica_Latina_por_IDH. Then see the page in English Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Latin_American_subnational_entities_by_Human_Development_Index&action=history . This user goes far beyond the English wikipedia. --Italodal (talk) 01:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

✅. I don't see any way to stop him from creating new accounts, he's hopping over a huge range. Brandon (talk) 00:44, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

This user edit the same pages of TownDown, always using the same bias. This page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Latin_American_subnational_entities_by_Human_Development_Index&action=history and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_Latin_American_subnational_entities_by_Human_Development_Index maybe help. However in this case I'm not sure as in the others.--Italodal (talk) 01:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
