 * Suspected sockpuppets

I was speaking to the user on Skype, where we had the following conversation: [01/06/2009 23:53:47] Until It Sleeps says: ^_^ I got a new monitor from Staples! [01/06/2009 23:54:00] Dendodge says: oh, good [01/06/2009 23:55:43] Until It Sleeps just had to celebrate this fact by logging onto a display computer and replacing Staples Inc. with the fact that he likes pie. [01/06/2009 23:55:51] Dendodge says: heh [01/06/2009 23:56:09] Until It Sleeps says: :P [01/06/2009 23:56:21] Until It Sleeps says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:12.40.50.1#June_2009 [01/06/2009 23:56:42] Until It Sleeps says: Look at all of the warnings on there...\ [01/06/2009 23:56:51] Dendodge says: is that the IP you used? [01/06/2009 23:56:58] Until It Sleeps says: No doubt from other people screwing around on there... [01/06/2009 23:57:13] Dendodge says: I'll take that as a yes... The IP address to which he linked has admitted to being in a technology store.

The edit in question really did occur: diff. It was reverted numerous times, and these reverts were—themselves—reverted.

The user then attempted to prevent me from filing this report by removing his comments. However, I already had them on my clipboard.

An established user using an open IP for vandalism cannot be tolerated. Den dodge T\C 23:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, having known you for a while, it would not be beyond you. I believe you, and would like to withdraw this case. I apologise for any inconvenience I have caused SPI volunteers by acting too quickly and reflexively. Den dodge T\C 23:18, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by other users


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * This (to me) appears to be a situation where we need to assume good faith, let know that such "jokes" are not really funny and should not happen again, and move on. That said, I welcome others comments on the matter.  Tiptoety  talk 23:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
