 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Justin A Kuntz

User:Truthseekerx first edited the article Irredentism on 3rd July see. As his edit contained a certain amount of WP:OR I reverted it with a link to the relevant policy. Truthseekerx returned to revert and issued a warning not to change his edit see. Again I reverted his original research with reference to several key wikipedia policies see. There have been several responses on the talk page which demonstrate a lack of good faith and include personal attacks see. As Truthseekerx appeared to indicate an intention to edit war rather than discuss his edit, I issued a 3RR warning here, since deleted. Co-incidentally after issuing a 3RR warning, User:Elcidd re-appeared after a six month absence from editing see at a point when Truthseekerx risked a block for violating 3RR. There would appear to be circumstantial evidence that Elcidd is a sockpuppet of Truthseekerx since they appear to edit in similar areas and both have pro-Pakistan leanings in their edits, with Elcidd suddenly appearing to revert at a point where Truthseekerx risks a block for a 3RR violation. Elcidd also appears to have a similarly disruptive edit history see. Justin talk 22:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
