 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * (potentially)

The IP was warned about the three revert rule by another user for edit waring. It looks like the new account was made to circumvent "...edit-warring, collusion, evasion, disruption..." policies mentioned on the sockpuppet description page.

 * Checkuser is here, duck test will do fine. I do agree that this edit warring is problematic, but please do bear in mind that users who edit anonymously, then later register an account, are not necessarily attempting deception. –  Luna Santin  (talk) 01:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * please archive, no tagging is needed. I've already informed the reporter about assuming good faith in the future. The reporter really went all out here with this case, a post to ANI and some not very helpful links to policy without explaining it. ——  nix eagle email me 02:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
