This new user User:Manspacey is editing on similar issue and in same time, the East London Mosque, as other sockpuppets of UsamahWard. Then, on 23 April 2014 these two sockpuppets wrote same things on User talk:Fisingi. On 14:14, 24 April 2014 UsamahWard undid a revision by User: Ellodorando, by writing "Several other mosques broadcast the call to prayer". After 24 minutes the other sockpuppet User:Manspacey wrote on the User talk: Ellodorando:"Just to comment on your edits to the East London Mosque. This is not the only mosque in the UK that broadcasts the call to prayer, there are others too in "Bradford, Blackburn, Manchester, Bolton and Coventry." On 23 November 2012, UsamahWard edited the article Andrew Gilligan, which was edited even from User:Manspacey on 22 November 2012.  Rinfoli   { *Di§cu$ with me"# } 18:38, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' My unblock appeal was successful, initially just a shortening of the ban, but eventually after closer examination of the edits, with the conclusion that Manspacey is not my sockpuppet. This examination revealed that my accuser was himself a serial sockpuppeter (with 18 known identities at the time of writing this), who cited some of his sockpuppets in his accusation.

The fact that Manspacey has only edited pages that UsamahWard has edited, and usually has done so within hours of the other account, making the same arguments, strongly suggests to me that these are the same editor. I'm blocking Manspacey indefinitely as a sockpuppet, and blocking UsamahWard for a month for abusing a sockpuppet (including using it in edit-wars). --  At am a  頭 21:06, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
